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)

This 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.
