Estructura socio-espacial y narrativa social en Centro Habana. La subjetivación de formas capitalistas en Cuba

Abstract

The adoption of capitalist forms in Cuba is susceptible to observation at both objective and subjective levels, in the social-spatial structure and narrative of its inhabitants. The distribution and occupation of space, as well as the ownership and conditions of housing, are articulated with class and social origin, skin color, consumption capacity as well as income level. This, together with the category of "private property" that operates as a structuring principle of society, has as its effects the subjectivation of capitalist forms and the (dis)identification of subjects with socialism. To show it, I cross some biographical stories obtained from the field research carried out in the municipality of Centro Habana, with sociodemographic data and indicators on the distribution and occupation of space.
