The Reel, Real, and Hyper-Real Revolution: Self-Representation and Political Performance in Everyday Life
The Reel, Real, and Hyper-Real Revolution: Self-Representation and Political Performance in Everyday Life
This chapter explores the role of documentary films in the articulation of official and unofficial discourses about the Revolution. It examines the Zafra de los Diez Millones, a disastrous attempt to base the economy on an all-volunteer labor force, through the eyes of young sugarcane cutters and the lens of documentary filmmakers whose movies about rank-and-file loyalists gave voice to the many counternarratives that contradicted and undermined the state's right to control discourse.
Keywords: documentary film, Revolution, Zafra de los Diez Millones, filmmakers, counternarratives, discourse
