Jazz Everyday Aesthetics

项目摘要

Aesthetic relations and qualities inform our experience of the world in powerful ways, and they exert this influence through their presence in our daily activities, from working with others to our most intimate exchanges with family and friends. While issues of everyday aesthetic value have been widely discussed within popular music studies (Clark et al, 2010; Frith, 1996, 2004; DeNora, 2000; Hesmondalgh, 2013), jazz scholars have largely avoided a direct engagement with this theoretical literature. This network is an attempt to explore through an innovative series of participatory workshops the role of the aesthetic experience of jazz is on people's everyday lives. Meetings will focus on the transmission and reception of jazz in everyday contexts and examine the ways in which individuals and groups evaluate the music's artistic meaning and significance. Instances in which the experience of jazz is either lost or missed will also inform workshop exercises, and focus participants' attention on understanding what is most ordinary about their relationship to music (Cavell, 2005). We believe that the study of the everyday aesthetic value of jazz informs not only our understanding of cultural practices; but it also provides a lens through which people's everyday experiences can be examined more broadly. The overall aim of the network is to develop a better understanding of the cultural value of jazz for its audiences and to connect its value to the both the individual and collective dimensions of aesthetic experience and everyday life (de Certeau, 1998; Danto, 1981; Goffman, 1967; Highmore, 2002, 2011; Heller, 1984; Lefebvre, 2000; Light, & Smith, 2005; Sheringham, 2006; Stewart, 2007).This will be accomplished primarily through a series of networking events involving academics, particularly those with interests in reception theory in media and cultural studies, history, psychology, philosophy, and musicology, along with musicians, promoters, music journalists, and the wider public. International keynote speakers will be invited to address each event and the attendance of new researchers and research students will be encouraged through bursaries and other forms of financial support. Network events will be held in London, Edinburgh and Cheltenham, and Amsterdam and each will include a public performance by emerging jazz artists that engage with the workshop themes. We will seek to establish an audience focus group at the Cheltenham event. In addition to the events, the network website will provide an interactive space for participants to experiment with aesthetic experiences of jazz and respond to project performances.The intention of the network is to build relationships which open new paths of inquiry and will lead to further collaborations within and beyond jazz studies, especially between academics working in different disciplines, and between academics and jazz practitioners, jazz promoters and producers, and audiences outside the academic community. We are aiming to create a network which will be equally beneficial to all these groups, particularly to provide opportunities for the public dissemination of academic research. The network will provide a platform through which each of these groups can explore their relationship to jazz and contribute to the group's discussions. The network will encourage research that can be put to practical use, for example working in collaboration with venues, jazz festivals, and promoters, to inform their understanding of the music's significance to their audiences and to institute appropriate changes in policy where the research indicates this appropriate.

审美关系和审美品质以强大的方式影响我们对世界的体验，并通过它们出现在我们的日常活动中发挥这种影响，从与他人合作到我们与家人和朋友最亲密的交流。虽然日常审美价值的问题在流行音乐研究中得到了广泛的讨论(Clark等人，2010；Frith，1996,2004；Denora，2000；Hesmondalgh，2013)，但爵士乐学者在很大程度上避免直接接触这些理论文献。这个网络试图通过一系列创新的参与性研讨会来探索爵士乐审美体验在人们日常生活中的作用。会议将集中于爵士乐在日常环境中的传播和接受，并审查个人和团体评估音乐的艺术意义和意义的方式。丢失或错过爵士乐体验的例子也将成为研讨会练习的依据，并使参与者的注意力集中在理解他们与音乐的关系中最普通的是什么(Cavell，2005)。我们认为，对爵士乐日常审美价值的研究不仅有助于我们对文化实践的理解，而且还提供了一个视角，通过它可以更广泛地审视人们的日常经历。该网络的总体目标是为观众更好地理解爵士乐的文化价值，并将其价值与审美体验和日常生活的个人和集体层面联系起来(de Certeau，1998；Danto，1981；Goffman，1967；Highmore，2002,2011；Heller，1984；Lefebvre，2000；Light，&Smith，2005；Sheringham，2006；这将主要通过一系列网络活动来实现，包括学者，特别是那些对媒体和文化研究、历史、心理学、哲学和音乐学的接受理论感兴趣的学者，以及音乐家、推动者、音乐记者和更广泛的公众。将邀请国际主旨演讲者在每个活动上发言，并将通过助学金和其他形式的财政支持鼓励新的研究人员和研究学生参加。网络活动将在伦敦、爱丁堡、切尔滕纳姆和阿姆斯特丹举行，每个活动都将包括与研讨会主题有关的新兴爵士乐艺术家的公开表演。我们将寻求在切尔滕纳姆活动上建立一个受众焦点小组。除了这些活动，该网络网站还将为参与者提供一个互动空间，让他们体验爵士乐的审美体验，并对项目表演作出回应。该网络的目的是建立关系，开辟新的研究途径，并将导致爵士乐研究内外的进一步合作，特别是在不同学科的学者之间，在学者和爵士乐从业者、爵士乐推广者和制作人之间，以及学术界以外的观众之间。我们的目标是建立一个对所有这些群体都同样有益的网络，特别是为公众传播学术研究提供机会。该网络将提供一个平台，通过这个平台，这些团体中的每个人都可以探索他们与爵士乐的关系，并为该团体的讨论做出贡献。该网络将鼓励可以付诸实践的研究，例如与场馆、爵士音乐节和推广者合作，让他们了解音乐对观众的意义，并在研究表明适当的情况下对政策进行适当的改变。
