Abstract

The restoration of the diplomatic relations between the United States and Cuba has been staged constantly since December 17, 2014 the leaders of both countries announced the beginning of the process. The final act of the play, however, it has happened on 21st March 2016, with the arrival of Obama to Habana. Throughout the process of normalization, the estatocentric diplomacy managed the estrangement between the parties, producing and reproducing, at the same time, the new strangeness. In this way, it has been staged a particular order, excluding and hiding any diplomatic relationship that may cause uncertainty and disorder, displacing individuals towards the margins, as a last resort.
