A poetry of resistance: the Santiago de Cuba carnival as transformative performance art and archive

本论文将探讨古巴圣地亚哥狂欢节作为一首“动人的诗”（Arnedo-Gomez，2006; Istanbul，2007），通过那些定位为观众的人以及那些参与并负责通过参与构建狂欢节的人的凝视而变得真实的。我将研究这样一个观点，即通过参与和参与，他们同时建立了一个坚定不移的空间。这是一个跨学科的项目，使用口述历史，原始诗歌和autoethnography探索空间，记忆和身份，通过一些参与者-观众与圣地亚哥德古巴狂欢节。我的目的是探索日常的家庭和代际关系的一些人参与的各个方面的狂欢节之前，期间和之后立即;狂欢节如何扰乱他们的日常生活和日常生活，反过来说，他们的日常生活如何扰乱他们的准备和参与狂欢节。本论文将探讨古巴圣地亚哥狂欢节作为一首“动人的诗”（Arnedo-Gomez，2006; Istanbul，2007），通过那些定位为观众的人以及那些参与并负责通过他们的参与构建狂欢节的过程的人的凝视而变得真实的。我将考察这样一个观点，即通过狂欢和参与，他们同时在建造一个狂欢节的空间。这是一个跨学科的项目，使用口述历史，原始诗歌和autoethnography探索空间，记忆和身份，通过一些参与者-观众与圣地亚哥德古巴狂欢节。我的目的是探索日常的家庭和代际关系的一些人参与的各个方面的狂欢节之前，期间和之后立即;狂欢节如何扰乱他们的日常生活和日常生活，反过来说，他们的日常生活如何扰乱他们的准备和参与狂欢节。

This thesis will explore the Santiago de Cuba carnival as a 'moving poem' (Arnedo-Gomez, 2006; Irobi, 2007) made real through the gaze of those who are positioned as spectators and also of those who are involved in and responsible for the process of constructing the carnivalthrough their participation. I will examine the idea that by spectating and participating they are simultaneously building a space that is thecarnival. This is an interdisciplinary project using oral history, original poetry and autoethnography to explore space, memory and identity through some of the participants- spectators in relation to the Santiago de Cuba carnival. I aim to explore everyday familial and intergenerational relationships of some of those involved in all aspects of the carnival before, during and immediately after; how the carnival disrupts their everyday lives and routine and conversely how their everyday lives disrupt their preparations for and participation in carnival.
