Autores como Michel Foucault e Franz Fanon têm figurado de forma influente tanto em estudos sobre questões relativas a estratégias de poder e representação em contextos pós-coloniais, quanto em debates e análises de ordem teórica sobre pós-colonialismo. Particularmente, as noções de biopoder e governamentalidade, originárias do pensamento de Foucault, e as reflexões de Fanon sobre a construção de formas de subjetivação racializadas e coloniais, têm ensejado um amplo debate sobre a permanência e circulação de retóricas raciais transnacionais. Através da leitura de David Scott, em Refashioning Futures - Criticism after Postcoloniality (1999), e Paul Gilroy, em Against Race - Imagining Political Culture beyond the Color Line (2000), este ensaio procura identificar a pertinência da combinação de ambos os autores em estudos que, de forma distinta, se debruçam sobre a complexa relação entre corpo e modernidade e suas implicações nos campos político e intelectual contemporâneos.

In the article, I address the issues of the transformation of subjectivity, to which it is subject in the face of changes in the political and cultural status of knowledge in post-modernity. I am trying to identify and define the post-modern deficits of political culture as a consequence of these changes. Looking at the links between subjectivity and politics, I reach out to Charles Taylor, who characterizes the crisis of the ethos of authenticity, Anthony Giddens, who analyses the process of disembedding of a subject, and Michel Foucault describing modern technologies of the self-creation in the context of a concept of politics understood as praxis by Hannah Arendt.

The introduction challenges the widely held view in Western scholarship that the supposed “militarization” of the Cuban Revolution is key to understanding its longevity. While the pervasiveness of the armed forces in revolutionary Cuba is hard to refute, this chapter argues that it is the Revolution’s guerrilla origins, rather than its “militarism,” that partly explains its survival and the political authority of its leaders. Specifically, it is the promotion of a guerrilla ethos in the Revolution’s official, hegemonic discourse that, through the creation of a new political culture since 1959, has afforded historic legitimacy to the ex-guerrilla fighters in power. This chapter explains how the author, through discourse analysis, draws on the works of Michel Foucault and Norman Fairclough to examine a range of texts that span the Revolution’s six decades in power. This analysis reveals a consistent endorsement of the values and attributes associated with the guerrilla fighter, a phenomenon introduced here as guerrillerismo.
