Starting from the political pilgrimage cinema this article examines several issues concerning to the militant feminine body’s representation in the Cuban Revolution. It discusses specifically some visual and ideological components of the militant body's representation, such as the military uniform, the voluptuousness, the revolutionary sacrifice or the self-control of the woman with regard to the (macho) revolutionary power. What we call political pilgrimage cinema has a seminal value with regard to the foundation and reproduction of the Cuban revolutionary imaginary, and the development of the Left’s imaginary in general. The symbolical register of this cinema was negotiated between the political Other and Self, that is: between the Cuban Revolution as a way to look for its legitimation at an international level, and those European filmmakers who went to the island as political pilgrims in order to appropriate the Cuban Revolution’s militant precepts.
