- A complex interdisciplinary investigation into how intellectuals constructed an effective discourse on the homophobic policies of the Cuban regime and its social policy on sexual minorities. Interdisciplinary fieldwork reviewed political manifestos, unpublished correspondence, articles and literary works at Princeton (Rare Book Division), Havana National Library and the Film School of San Antonio de los Baños; interviews with intellectuals in France, USA, Spain; and Ministry of Culture representatives and intellectuals (eg Fuentes and Gutiérrez). Political circumstances (lengthy approval procedures) made some access difficult. The fieldwork identified critical ideas about political mechanisms that silenced homosexual and intellectual communities in Cuba.
