Post-millenial Havana: Culture, Consumption & Everyday Life

This discussion panel will look at some of the important economic, cultural, and political dynamics affecting Cuba today -- tourism, limited marketization, the informal economy, global media flows -- and how they affect ordinary Cubans. The panel will be particularly interested in how Cubans are negotiating their relationship to the Cuban state and Cubans in the diaspora, and constructing new forms of subjectivity and belonging.
