The dancing shall be analyzed as part of the Franquist nation-building that was based on a nexus of inseparably linked gender- and colonial-politics. The project shows how in rhizomatic material/semiotic processes the dancers were built as female bodies with certain characteristics, that should make them suitable instruments of that nation-building. Those processes didn’t always turn out as intended and showed some ‘mis-features’ that endangered their political mission. As causes of those ‘accidents’ – a certain genderblurring of the dancers being one of them – I’ll investigate the ambivalence of that mission, colonial encounters and the différance of the dancing that opened up space for hybridity. | | Keywords: | Colonial politics, politics of sentiments, selftechnologies, dance, nation building, Spain, Equatorial Guinea | | Methoden/Theorien: | Diskursanalyse, Epistemologie, Erkenntnistheorie, Ethno-/Psychoanalyse, Experimentelle Meth., Feldstudien, Feministische Theorien, Hermeneutik, Kritische Theorie, Machtanalyse, Metapherntheorie, Netzwerkanalyse, Oral History, Poststrukturalismus, Qualitative Methoden, Quellenkritik | | Attachments: | - |
