Luoghi di danza
No full textWriter, journalist, theater and film critic, Marco Ramperti is one of the few that deals with dance in the Italian press of the fascist period. For the newspaper «La Stampa», between 1926 and 1928, he edits the column Luoghi di danza (dance venues), dedicated to ballroom and modern dances. The article investigates the performative nature of Ramperti’s writing, dominated by “staging” devices of the subject matter, as well as by an intrusive presence of the body, first of all that of the author. What emerges is an unprecedented image of the dance in the Twenties, at the same time catalysing the most alienating - and Pirandellian - aspects of modernity, but also a place where genuinely experiencing themselves and the others
Afasie e strategie: appunti di metodo attorno a una (quasi) critica di danza in Italia
Full text linkUnlike what happens in the rest of Europe and in America, throughout the first half of the twentieth century Italian press can’t boast the presence of an authentic dance criticism. Grounded on these assumptions, my project focuses on a particular and controversial phase of Italian history such as the fascist period, aiming, on the one hand, to reconstruct the discourses on dance produced by italian journalism in the early twentieth century, and trying, on the other hand,to wonder about the cultural dynamic underlying the lack of a authentic dance criticism in Italy during the Fascism .Starting from the recognition of some formal and conceptual elements characterising the discourses on dance elaborated in daily newspapers and periodicals, I will propose a methodological approach that intertwines an historiographical perspective with concepts derived from semiotics of culture. By this I will analyze the discourses mentioned above by posing the following questions : how can dance become one of the topics of journalistic discourse? What's the image of the dancing body developed in Italian journalism during the fascist period? What kind of cultural dynamics can generate the development of a critical discourse on dance? And, on the contrary, in which case is the emergence of a dance criticism inhibited
La vita quotidiana del danzatore tra letteratura minore, cinema di propaganda e giornalismo d’inchiesta. Gli esempi di “Tersicoreide” (1899), “Fanciulle e danze” (1942) e “I ballerini” (1960)
Full text linkThis essay analyses three different types of representations of the dancer’s daily life produced in Italy between the late 19th century and the 1960s. Through these examples, belonging to the fields of literature, cinema and journalism, I will try to demonstrate how the narrative about the everyday can be a means of expressing some aesthetic ideas on dance, of transforming the vision of reality and trying to affect it, both directly, through the language of propaganda and investigation, and indirectly, through literary transfiguration
Pratiche del classico: Paolo Fabbri e la danza italiana negli anni Trenta
Full text linkDance critic and impresario, Paolo Fabbri makes a short but intense journey in the field of Italian dance during the fascist period. Mainly active at the beginning of the Thirties, Fabbri proposes an idea of modernization of the dance of his time through the regeneration of Italian classical dance. The article focuses on the pivotal elements of his work, such as the sources of inspiration, the characteristics of his critical method and language, the choices he made in terms of conception and realisation of theatrical events

“Imparare dai propri allievi”: ideologia, ricostruzione e trasmissione del classico nelle pagine della rivista «Balletto»
Full text linkIn the European panorama of dance criticism during the Fifties, the reflection around the art of the dancer occupies a central position, weaving together some essential matters as those related to the quality of the fruition and interpretation of ballet or to the different national (and political) identities in dance. Faced with this state of affairs the article investigates the thoughts on the dancer developed by the roman magazine «Balletto» between 1955 and 1962, by analysing, on the one hand, the bonds with English dance criticism and historiography and, on the other hand, by placing the discourses developed in the magazine in the productive and distributive panorama of Italian dance
