She also studies subjective and objective ambivalencies affecting artistic practices, careers and professions in Europe, in the US and in Japan. Finally, she reflects on the epistemological status of qualitative methods.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Prof. Alan Stanbridge (University of Toronto)” tab_id=”1552915575728-603cb5bc-3c5d”][vc_column_text]\"\"Alan Stanbridge is an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto, teaching in Music & Culture and Media Studies in the Department of Arts, Culture and Media, and in the Master of Museum Studies Program.

<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Jazz has typically been the music of journeys and mobility. Its history is inseparable from global patterns of migration and changing demographics, as well as new forms of media communication and cultural production. The music speaks as much to dreams of escape as it does to the desire to put down roots; it continually seeks new pathways to meaning, even as it reinforces old boundaries. Jazz Journeys <\/i>seeks to critically explore how ideas of mobility, movement, travel, exchange, voyaging, border-crossing and odyssey have shaped \u2013 and continue to shape \u2013 debates about the music\u2019s past and future.<\/p>\n

Journeys \u2014 Mobility and Travels
\n<\/strong>This theme addresses hemispheric or global cultural movements in jazz, from the legacies of transatlantic slavery to the emergence of jazz communities throughout the world. We invite papers that engage with the different kinds of journeys that musicians undertake, from stylistic development to their involvement in the processes of migration and mobility, cross-cultural exchange, colonialism, and empire(s).<\/p>\n

Journeys \u2014 Journ\u00e9es
\n<\/strong>This theme explores jazz as a companion to everyday life in private and public spaces, in the light of changing modes of interaction with the music. Are new technologies and platforms such as Spotify and Facebook changing the way we deal with jazz? How does jazz feature as a soundtrack to our ordinary existence? How do such regular interactions (or the avoidance of such interactions) reveal ideas about the meaning and value of jazz?<\/p>\n

Journeys \u2014 Journal \u2014 Diary: History, Narrative, (Auto)biography
\n<\/strong>This theme explores the ways in which the experience of music is captured and the story of jazz told, from dominant narratives to (auto)biographies, popular tales to hidden histories. We welcome papers that interrogate dominant forms of causal and linear narration and engage with the ways in which the stories of jazz are written, adapted and changed through time. The theme seeks to engage with the underlying values that shape understandings of jazz and influenced what is celebrated and what ignored.<\/p>\n

Journeys \u2014 Journals \u2014 Research
\n<\/strong>Fifty years ago, the founding of Jazzforschung \/ Jazz Research <\/i>and Beitr\u00e4ge zur Jazzforschung \/ Studies in Jazz Research <\/i>in Graz positioned jazz studies as an important area of musicology and <\/i>related disciplines. We invite papers that explore the gaps, limitations and tensions in our <\/i>understanding of jazz research, as well as new directions in the field.<\/p>\n

Journeys \u2014 Journalism, Media and Technologies
\n<\/strong>This theme investigates the role of writing, mediatisation and technological change in the production, dissemination, and experience of jazz. We invite papers focusing on the ways in which ideas, sounds and images about the music circulate globally between artists, critics, audiences, and producers.<\/p>\n

Journeys \u2014 Time(s) and Temporalities
\n<\/strong>This theme explores concepts of time and temporality in jazz, from the uses of multiple tempos and time signatures to theories and practices of repetition and revision. We invite papers that respond to the different times, temporalities, tempos, moments, instances, junctures, speeds, passages, and movements in and out of time that characterise jazz history and its practices.<\/p>\n

Journeys \u2014 The Seductions of Alliteration
\n<\/strong>This theme addresses the many journeys in language, sound, gesture, and image that shape our understanding of jazz, including spontaneous writing, creative writing from the Harlem Renaissance, and Beat literature. We welcome papers that experiment with how to get from A to B, that sound out new ways of speaking of and thinking about jazz, and envision new practices and processes of writing about, and performing with, the music.<\/p>\n

Jazz Journeys <\/i>continues to build on the legacy of the research project Rhythm Changes: Jazz Cultures and European Identities <\/i>(2010\u20132013), which was funded as part of the Humanities in <\/i>the European Research Area (HERA) Joint Research Programme. In the spirit of Rhythm Changes<\/i>, <\/i>the project team continues to develop networking opportunities and champion <\/i>collaborative research in transnational jazz studies.<\/p>\n

Updates on the conference and information about travel and accommodation will be available at www.rhythmchanges.net<\/a> and https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/jazzresearch\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n
