Michal Zourek, Praga y los intelectuales latinoamericanos (1947-1959), Prohistoria Ediciones, Rosario, 2019, 308 pp. - Historia & Cultura, 18 ÍNDICE, INTRODUCCIÓN, CAPÍTULO 1 Este libro propone un acercamiento original y muy cuidado a un aspecto preciso de nuestra historia cultural latinoamericana. Combinando el género de estudio científico con el de la edición anotada, su autor presenta y analiza testimonios escritos de trece intelectuales latinoamericanos (García Márquez, Neruda, Amado, Guillén, entre otros) sobre sus visitas a Praga. Los textos seleccionados y analizados reflejan el imaginario comunista de la época. Su tono, fuertemente politizado, no obstaculiza sin embargo el vertido de una valiosa información sobre Checoslovaquia y sobre los intelectuales sobre sí mismos. La obra constituye tanto un exquisito ejemplo de historia de los intelectuales tanto como la construcción un valioso corpus para analizar la imagen del otro, tanto como un gran aporte para el estudio de las relaciones entre Europa del Este y América Latina durante el siglo XX.
This study analyses the journeys of Latin American intellectuals to Eastern Europe in order to clarify hitherto unknown links with the region. The focal period is the decade of 1947–1956, which was characterised by the great enthusiasm leftist intellectuals felt towards the Soviet Union and the countries of the socialist block. The first part of the study presents individual written testimonies. These are put into perspective with regard to the role Latin American intellectuals played within the framework of communist propaganda and their relations with international organizations. Special attention is paid to the organization of these journeys, and to the way they contributed to the development of contacts with intellectuals in Eastern Europe. The third part of the study provides an analysis of the discourse of such texts. On the one hand, it is argued that the texts served the political needs of the time, and that their artistic value is disputable. On the other hand, the texts are remarkable testimonies of the period, one in which the connection with Eastern Europe contributed significantly to the “internationalisation” of Latin American artists. This was reflected in the increasing number of translated works of the authors, invitations to various conferences, or international prizes awarded to Latin American artists. One of the major benefits of the testimonies is the fact that they describe the contacts established between Latin American and European intellectuals. It is rather paradoxical that the first reunion of prominent Latin American figures took place in Eastern Europe. In Latin America, where leftist intellectuals were frequently subjected to persecution, such meetings would not have been possible.
This article relates the intriguing story of Chateau Dobříš, a meeting place in Czechoslovakia for Latin American intellectuals during the late 1940s and1950s. Based primarily on the contemporary testimonies of selected authors and their memoirs, the study describes this little known chapter in cultural relations between Latin America and eastern Europe. At that time, Chateau Dobříš, which was administered by the Union of Czechoslovak Writers, played a significant role in the cultural scene of Latin America. It was here that Jorge Amado, Pablo Neruda, Nicolás Guillén, and other luminaries came into contact with one another and started friendships with their European colleagues. At the same time, the chateau became a place in which some of Latin America’s luminaries met for the very first time, because the political situation in their own countries made it impossible to do so otherwise. The experience at Chateau Dobříš was therefore an important phase for Latin American writers. By analyzing this phenomenon, this article aims to contribute to the investigation of “New Cold War History” and our understanding of the Communist cultural politics during the era.
The journal Problems of Peace and Socialism (in the English version World Marxist Review) was published in Prague between 1958 and 1990 and was distributed to dozens of countries in many language editions and it thus featured an important bond between the Communist parties across the continents. The objective of the study is to analyze the position of the Latin American issues in the frame of the journal during the first decade of its operation marked by a number of ideological conflicts within the world’s left wing. The analysis is based on the premise that this was a specific period of relative freedom when it was possible to publish the articles polemizing the Soviet line of Marxism-Leninism. The first part is devoted to the presentation of the journal and a description of its structure with emphasis on the position of the Latin American parties. The following parts deal with the very production of the Latin American representatives published in the journal. The study is supplemented with a list of articles associated with the problems of Latin America which were published in the years 1958–1968.

El yo cubano y el Bloque del Este: percepciones de los países socialistas europeos en los relatos autobiográficos cubanos2017 •
La escritura autobiográfica cubana posterior a 1959 ha dejado testimonios personales de los principales hitos de la política cultural revolucionaria.Fueron numerosos los intelectuales que se adhirieron al proceso iniciado en la Isla tras el triunfo de Fidel Castro. Los viajes culturales hacia los países de la Europa del Este y el desempeño de cargos diplomáticos, administrativos, periodísticos o culturales fueron una constante en la relación entre gobierno e intelectualidad en la década de los años sesenta, especialmente. El campo socialista político cultural del este europeo se ofreció como un espacio de indagación y conexión con la efervescente utopía cubana, que quiso conocer la realidad de estos países y darse a conocer en ellos. La experiencia ha sido narrada recurrentemente por autobiógrafos cubanos como Nicolás Guillén, Heberto Padilla, Lisandro Otero, Manuel Díaz Martínez y Graziella Pogolotti. Desde una perspectiva transnacional, este artículo pone en relación las diversas obras autobiográfcas entre sí y focaliza la mirada memorística que desde ellas ofrece una perspectiva de estos países socialistas.
The study analyzes the policy of Czechoslovakia towards the military regimes of Ar-gentina, Chile and Uruguay in the 1970s and 1980s. The presentations of the military regimes in the Czechoslovak media are compared, by means of archival documents, to the practical policy of Prague towards these three countries. The analysis of the Czechoslovak position gives an unequivocal answer to the question why the Soviet Bloc states were taking completely different approaches to each of these antagonistic regimes characterized by massive violations of human rights. The policy of the Soviet Bloc was driven by pragmatic interests and the violations of human rights were thus reflected particularly in terms of communist propaganda so as to avoid possible negative economic consequences.
The study analyses cultural relations between Argentina and Czechoslovakia during the Cold War. The chapters, divided into decades, describe the most important events aimed at the presentation of Czechoslovak culture in Argentina and Argentine culture in Czechoslovakia. The emphasis is also placed on the political context. Well aware of the fact that the good reputation of Czechoslovak culture could be used to promote its political and economic interests, Prague developed an active interest in cultural cooperation already in the mid-1950s. However, as Argentina’s aims were limited almost exclusively to economic relations, cultural agreements between the countries were only signed in the late 1980s. Until then, cultural relations had developed at commercial level. Czechoslovak music and film were renowned in Argentina. In Czechoslovakia, Argentina was famous mainly for its literature.
