It will be argued that not only did these accidents invert the ideal image of the romantic neoclassical ballerinas by foregrounding their place as working women, but also that these accidents intensified, in the audience, the experience of the sublime. In this sense, we will also try to approach other dangers (political and/or moral) with which the profession was associated and which had as their center the bodies of these 19th century women who -literally or metaphorically- lived for (and died for) moving on stage. A partir de ciertos casos de accidentes de bailarinas ocurridos a mediados del siglo XIX y mencionados en la llamada historia de la danza escénica occidental, este ensayo intentará reflexionar sobre lo que esos accidentes revelaban. Se planteará que no solo estos accidentes invertían la imagen ideal de la bailarina neoclásica romántica al poner en primer plano su lugar como mujeres trabajadoras, sino además que estos accidentes intensificaban, en la audiencia, la experiencia de lo sublime. En ese sentido, se intentará vislumbrar también otros peligros (políticos y/o morales) con los cuales se asociaba la profesión y que tenían como centro los cuerpos de estas jóvenes mujeres del siglo XIX que —literal o metafóricamente— vivían para (y morían por) moverse en escena. application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/telondefondo/article/view/12684 10.34096/tdf.n37.12684 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/telondefondo/article/view/12684/11599 Derechos de autor 2023 telondefondo.

Based on certain cases of female dancers' accidents that occurred in the mid-nineteenth century and are mentioned in the so-called history of western stage dance, this essay will try to reflect on what those accidents revealed. It will be argued that not only did these accidents invert the ideal image of the romantic neoclassical ballerinas by foregrounding their place as working women, but also that these accidents intensified, in the audience, the experience of the sublime. In this sense, we will also try to approach other dangers (political and/or moral) with which the profession was associated and which had as their center the bodies of these 19th century women who -literally or metaphorically- lived for (and died for) moving on stage. |
