“A world out there”: notes for a reading of two Cuban digital magazines

Abstract

This article examines two digital magazines –The Revolution Evening Post and 33 y 1/3– that circulated illegally in the first decade of the 21st century in Cuba, in a context in which the State, after the collapse of the USSR, reorients its cultural policy towards an homogeneous national identity. These e-magazines, on the contrary, dismantle those full versions of the community, interrogating the notion of border, and making visible the consumption of a transnationalized culture that begins to circulate through digital media.
