Abstract

Abstract

Coros y Danzas, the dancing and singing troupes of the Spanish female fascist movement Sección Femenina, utilized the film Ronda española (Ladislao Vajda, 1952) as an emotional artifact. Coros y Danzas managed to interlock memory and affectivity by creating a series of fetishized sentiments that could be easily identified with their institution. In this vein, Sección Femenina used folk music and dances to bring the communities of exiles who lived in the countries they visited for their diplomatic actions to confront their past. The film is a valuable tool to unravel how Coros y Danzas define affects as part of their diplomatic task.
