Nouvelles mobilités à Cuba : penser l’espace relationnel cubano-américain

Abstract

This article deals with the evolution of Cuba’s relational geography and specifically addresses the new mobility with the United States. The paper intends to question the impact of these changes on spatial practices and representations of exteriority from the island. Mobility between Cuba and the USA has changed drastically since the last decade amending, on both sides of the Florida Straits, the way in which people, capital, information, and goods move. This paper underlines that mobility from local to transnational evidences the socio-spatial mutations under way in Cuba and promotes the emergence of a more fluid territoriality. This article examines the modalities of a Cuban-American transnationalism and the transformations of territoriality through the development of ICT and real estate in Havana.
