The same dialectic between internal and external perspectives, between construction and attribution of italianicity/italianness and the re-appropriation of such meanings by the national community, will then be addressed with regard to the peculiar industrial dynamics of Italo Disco – and of dance music in general – within the Italian media system of the 1980s. Finally, we will consider Italo Disco from the point of view of its retrospective narration in different media, from documentaries to streaming platforms, by highlighting what strategies have been used to frame its cultural memory - as well as a specific imagery of the 1980s - using a number of tropes related to authenticity, performance and performativity.
