Conclusion: In Praise of Contrapuntal Harmonies

Abstract

The main outcome of this process of reactivation and analysis of unexplored texts of a Catalan diaspora in Havana is that it uncovers and provides insight into the transcultural and processual character of identities in the Cuban context and their contrapuntal relationship with both Catalan and Cuban nationalist discourses. The persistent presence of the topics of nationalism and diverse forms of mobility in the political agenda today makes it relevant to look at local realities from a post-national, anti-imperialist and anti-neoliberal perspective that, without disregarding the multifaceted character and origin of nationalisms, questions the idea of fixed identities.
