  Fernando Ortiz
Fernando Ortiz (1881-1969) es hoy principalmente conocido por el concepto de transculturación que se difundió a partir de la publicación de su libro fundacional Contrapunteo cubano del tabaco y el azúcar (1940; 1963).
Ortiz creció en Menorca (1882-1895) donde estudió su bachillerato; regresó a Cuba, y durante la guerra de independencia (1895-1898) comenzó la carrera de Derecho en La Habana.
Ortiz agregaba que "La ley de conservación impone a la sociedad ­dentro y fuera de la filosofía espiritista­ la necesidad de luchar por sí y por su integridad, y de esta necesidad los espiritistas como los positivistas hacen derivar la razón del castigo" (RBC 9.4, p.

THE publication of Brujas e inquisidores (Witches and Inquisitors) from the Fernando Ortiz collection by the learned Cuban of the same name, which he began to write in the 1920s and has remained in the archives of the Cuban Literature and Linguistics Institute to date, is first-hand news of great importance.

Ortiz relata historias que, no obstante, más que veritas, esto es, descripciones fieles de los acontecimientos, tejen en sus redes la estructura del mito, como apelación a la imagen literaria capaz de representar intelectualmente la dimensión cronotrópica de la historia, que el mito capta intuitivamente.

Ortiz’s examination of the impact of sugar and tobacco on Cuban society is unquestionably the cornerstone of Cuban studies and a key source for work on Caribbean culture generally.
Ortiz presents his understanding of Cuban history in two complementary sections written in contrasting styles: a playful allegorical tale narrated as a counterpoint between tobacco and sugar and a historical analysis of their development as the central agricultural products of the Cuban economy.
His work shows how transculturation, a critical category Ortiz developed to grasp the complex transformation of cultures brought together in the crucible of colonial and imperial histories, can be used to illuminate not only the history of Cuba, but, more generally, that of America as well.

Ortiz is also concerned with the weakness (and in the end irrelevance) of the state, but he argues his thesis not by suggesting that the state belongs to history but, quite the contrary, by arguing that the state has never belonged to history.
Ortiz argues that the history of Cuba, subject to the power of transculturation, is a history marked by refusals of or escapes from state discourse: the "Magna Charta of the plantation owners.
Ortiz’s use of the concept of transculturation enables us perhaps to redescribe history and redeploy history against the state’s overcoding of historical processes in terms of the unfolding of identities.
