The Cuban revolutionary hermeneutics : criticism and citizenship -- The U.S. field of culture -- U.S. criticism, dissent, and hermeneutics -- Performing film criticism. Memories of underdevelopment -- Lucia -- One way or another -- Portrait of Teresa -- Conclusion.

Subject: In examining cultural production through the lens of the Cold War, Amaya reveals how contrasting interpretations by Cuban and U.S. critics are the result of the political cultures in which they operated. While Cuban critics viewed the films as powerful symbols of the social promises of the Cuban revolution, liberal and leftist American critics found meaning in the films as representations of anti-establishment progressive values and Cold War discourses. By contrasting the hermeneutics of Cuban and U.S. culture, criticism, and citizenship, Amaya argues that critical receptions of political films constitute a kind of civic public behavior"--Publisher.
