Gli studi comparativi, ancora poco frequentati dalle ricerche sulla danza, procedono all’articolazione dell’influenza di un “classico” in un repertorio di forme d’incidenza e di modi di ricezione. In questa prospettiva analizzeremo criticamente il canone della danse d’école e la sua influenza sulle esperienze pedagogiche e rappresentative di Carlo Blasis (1795-1878) a Milano e di August Bournonville (1805-1879) a Copenaghen, nel tentativo di individuare i rispettivi processi di appropriazione e di rielaborazione culturale di tale ideologia del corpo danzante, a partire dall’analisi di come si è costruita l’identità del danzatore intellettuale ottocentesco attraverso la dinamica delle relazioni personali e sociali, nazionali ed internazionali, che si riflettono nella scrittura di sé e della danza all’interno del panorama del primo Ottocento, alla ricerca di un proprio spazio e di riconoscimento nella cultura intellettuale.

Abstract
Dance researches are not yet familiar with comparative studies, which consist in describing the authority of a “classic” through a repertoire of incidence forms and of reception manners. Our aim, following this perspective, is to critically analyze the canon of the danse d'école and its authority on the pedagogical and performing experiences of Carlo Blasis (1795-1878) in Milan and of August Bournonville (1805-1879) in Copenhagen. By this, we will attempt to identify their processes of appropriation and cultural reworking concerning this ideology on dancing bodies. Our starting point is the analysis of the way the intellectual dancer creates his identity through relationships personal, social, national and international. During the first half of the nineteenth century these relationships are reflected in self-writing and dance-writing, in seek of its own place and praise within the intellectual culture.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
