No location, location, identity, CubaAbstract
The article discusses the various relationships established in a non-place, in this case a train in Cuba that takes passengers from the west central region of the country to Havana.
This space is interchangeably used by travelers as transportation and others to introduce in Havana goods that are considered they are illegal both by nature and by the amount of weight set by the railway authorities.
However, these “stealth marketers” have developed the most varied etnometodologías to support a bidirectional black market.
Furthermore, an interpretation of the train as a space where identity components and a culture of resistance emerge offered.
