the socialist utopia 267 that portrayal. Where does the fi lm situate itself discursively, despite its intentions? The title of the fi lm, Soy Cuba, is repeated in a voice-over narration throughout the fi lm. Who is the “I” (Soy) of Cuba? Is there a specifi c character(s) in the fi lm who embodies the nation of Cuba? Is it always the same character or does it change during the course of the fi lm? Who/ what else is Cuba? What does this representation of Cuba include and, consequently, exclude? How does this in turn fi t into what is included or excluded in the portrayal of the Cuban Revolution? When attempting to answer these questions, consider the ways in which national identity intersects with gender, class, and race identity. • Why is it signifi cant that the fi lm has a sizable Soviet presence in its production? In what way might this fi lm say more about the lens through which Russians view Cuba than about the fi lm’s explicit subject, Cuba itself? • We offer a description of Soy Cuba without additional analyses from other scholars. When you have the opportunity to see the fi rst vignette of Soy Cuba, can you see the presence in our analysis of a discourse that we might not be aware of? The successive interpreters of Said’s Orientalism, for example, are themselves subjected to critical theory readings. For this exercise, keep in mind graph 2.3 in the introductory chapter. • In what ways is the representation of women in the fi lm similar to Che’s relationship with women as described by Alma Guillermoprieto? What do these two examples suggest to us about the role of gender in the Cuban Revolution and later in the revolutionary government? Notes 1.
