ballet classique, nationalisme, traduction incorporée, genre, corporalitéRésumé
Le ballet classique produit du sens pour son public par le biais d’une esthétique qui surgit à l’intersection des discours sur la race, le genre et la sexualité. Les modes d’interaction particuliers de ces discours sont ancrés dans des nationalismes inspirés par la modernité. Ainsi, les corps des danseurs qui produisent, alimentent et perpétuent cette esthétique s’inscrivent dans ces discours. L’auteure affirme que les corps des danseurs de ballet sont donc des traductions de ces nationalismes modernes. S’inspirant de Lefevere, elle démontre que les œuvres de ballet classique réécrivent les forces discursives externes sur les corps des danseurs, et que l’esthétique qui permet d’identifier ces corps est liée aux représentations discursives de la race, du genre et de la sexualité qui sont propres à la modernité.
