description The revolutionaries’ narratives Latin-American of XX century reiterate asymmetries of power and acquire patriarchal and religious traditions. Women occupies subaltern places marked for a strong moral imprint. Her biographies draw exemplars lives. I am Interested to read in counterpart two histories of women related with Cuban revolution. They represent two moments from the Cuban project -national and international. In different geographies – Cuba and Bolivia- vinculated to masculine myths- Fidel Castro and El Che. Celia is the “new woman”, Castro’s couple, motherless figure of Revolution. Her body – warrior, ´mother in god or lover- is central in the Cuban revolutionary imaginary. Sickness and death consecrated her enthronization in the revolutionary pantheon. Tamara Bunke (Tania) argentine- germane, educated in soviet world works as intelligence agent in Bolivia and dead in the guerrilla at the same time that Guevara. She demonstrates her loyalty as militant in Cuba then she works as intelligence agent infiltrate in Bolivia. The official history immortalizes his image as warrior in the side of Guevara: She was a foreign in the Cuban revolution nationalist- as the argentine- called stateless. Both cases the popular and institutionalized mythologies hide the truth that appears in the margin- The feminine bodies without brands converts then in the other in the foundational couple- one successful another frustrated- exhibit the contradictory gender position of the revolution.

Las mujeres ocupan un lugar subalterno, marcado por una fuerte impronta moral, y sus biografías se arman como vidas ejemplares. Me interesa leer en contrapunto dos historias de mujeres ligadas a la revolución cubana a través de heterogéneos materiales: Celia Sánchez Manduley y Tamara Bunke. Representan dos momentos del proyecto cubano ‒nacional e internacional‒ en espacios diferentes ‒Cuba y Bolivia‒ vinculadas a mitos masculinos ‒Fidel Castro y el Che. Celia es la “mujer nueva”, la mujer detrás de Castro, la figura materna de la revolución. Su cuerpo ‒sea de guerrera, madrina o amante‒ es central en la imaginería de lo cubano revolucionario y forma parte de la épica y la institucionalización. La enfermedad y la muerte acaban de consagrarla en el panteón revolucionario. Tamara Bunke (Tania) es argentino-alemana educada en la Alemania soviética, desarrolla tareas de inteligencia para Cuba en Bolivia y muere en la guerrilla casi al mismo tiempo que Guevara. Si bien se destacó por su labor de inteligencia, su imagen de guerrera se inmortaliza junto con la del Che. En este caso se trata de una “extranjera” dentro del relato revolucionario ‒al igual que el Che‒, a la que incluso se califica de apátrida. En ambos casos, la mitología oficial y popular oculta la historia que se dice en los márgenes. Los cuerpos son velados por los relatos que transforman el uniforme en la negación de la sexualidad distinta y de toda autonomía. Parejas míticas de los líderes (en ambos casos, alimentadas por los relatos oficiales) se convierten en centro de relatos contradictorios ‒y a veces opuestos‒ donde se dice lo femenino revolucionario.
