The event with a scientific lecture focuses on the Cuban writer José Martí (1853-1895). In Cuba in the 19th century, he campaigned for his country's fight for independence. The literary scholar Dr. Ottmar
Ette paints a picture of José Martí as a pioneer of globalization. According to him, Martí initially saw the island of Cuba as the antithesis to mainland Europe. He later developed a more comprehensive view in which Cuba as an archipelago is integrated into the global context. Martí is a contemporary thinker who is connected to Heinrich Heine in many ways and who also explored Heine's ideas.
