16 - 18 January 2020
Birmingham City University, Birmingham, United Kingdom.
Birmingham City University is pleased to announce the Call for Papers
for the Documenting Jazz 2020 Conference, being held on 16–18 January 2020. Now in
its second year, Documenting Jazz 2020 Conference brings together colleagues from across the
academic, archive, library, and museum sectors to explore and discuss
documenting jazz. Since its first edition in Dublin 2019, the Documenting Jazz 2020 Conference aims to bring together an unparalleled variety of experiences drawn
from across the world.
In Ways of Seeing, John Berger argues that though every image embodies a
way of seeing – every photograph is the photographer’s selection from an
infinite number of other sights – so too our perception of an image changes
with our personal way of seeing. The act of documenting jazz embodies ways of
documenting that reflect assumptions of the past. As changes in technology,
cultures and economies have profoundly influenced and affected our perception
of music, alternative ways of documenting jazz must be considered, explored,
and discussed.
Documenting Jazz 2020 Conference invites proposals on this year’s theme of
ways of documenting jazz, either as individual or collaborative projects. The
programme committee welcomes submissions focusing on ways of documenting jazz
as visual culture, and its distinct representations: photography, press,
cinema, television, and web. We also invite proposals that address ways of
documenting that challenge the traditional narratives surrounding jazz as a
male-dominated domain. This year’s conference also aims to consolidate
discussions around issues of gender, and the way those have been documented or
marginalised in this music history.
While not restricted to these themes, we
invite submissions that address critical ways of documenting jazz around the
following areas:
- Jazz in Photography
- Jazz on/in Television
- Jazz in the Press
- Jazz online
- Jazz on/in Cinema
Proposals are invited as individual papers, joint papers, proposals for
themed panels and round-table discussions. Further information regarding
submitting proposals.
Deadline for submissions: July 25, 2019
Enquires and submissions can be sent to Dr Pedro Cravinho
