Resumen
El cine ha surgido como un foco de producción en el que las representaciones de las sexualidades se construyen e inscriben dentro del discurso simbólico del poder y la película cubana Fresa y chocolate representa un ejemplo esclarecedor. El objetivo de Gutiérrez Alea y Juan Carlos Tabío es hacer explícita la construcción social del orden simbólico dominante y los problemas involucrados en su deconstrucción, para mostrar hasta qué punto la política sexual está profundamente arraigada en todas las formaciones culturales y sociales a lo largo de la historia. Este estudio intenta dilucidar la relación dialéctica entre el orden simbólico social —la norma— y la conciencia individual. Los cineastas construyen estratégicamente la relación y los conflictos y contradicciones que surgen de ella, incluida la crítica de algunos aspectos de la Revolución Cubana, a saber, el pathos de la cultura queer, lo que potencia la diferencia sexual como un elemento de cambio social.

Gutiérrez Alea and Juan Carlos Tabío´s goal is to make explicit the social construction of the dominant symbolic order and the problems involved in its deconstruction—to show the extent to which sexual politics are deeply rooted in all cultural and social formations throughout history. This study attempts to elucidate the dialectical relationship between the social symbolic order—the norm—and the individual consciousness. The filmmakers strategically construct the relationship and the conflicts and contradictions that arise from it, including criticism of some aspects of the Cuban Revolution, namely, the pathos of queer culture, thus empowering sexual difference as an element of social change.
