Abstract

Cubans favor public gathering and socializing in common areas such as parks, squares/plazas, or along the malecón—the boulevard that traverses the sea wall along most of the length of the city. However, personal space is a commodity that only a select few can afford, and is often viewed with suspicion. This combination of cultural attitudes and political pressures created particular challenges for individuals and communities whose desires did not fit neatly into the prescribed norms. Queer subjects have had to carefully carve out spaces for clandestine encounters—whether sexual, social, or some combination thereof—for most of the last 60 years. This essay will examine how the landscape of non-normative sexuality is represented in major Cuban literary and cinematic works of the last decades. More specifically, it will focus on Ena Lucia Portela’s Cien Botellas en Una Pared, a work that delves into the complex world of non-normative desires that live beyond the facade of Central Havana. This analysis will then serve as a lens to explore how that landscape is being reshaped by the conditions of the pandemic and what they underscore about revolutionary ideals and the limitations of sexual normativity in 21st century Havana.
