Global Circulations of Jazz - CESSP

« Global Circulations of Jazz »
June 27‐28, 2013
An international conference entitled "Global Circulations of Jazz" will be held on June 27‐28, 2013, at
the Musée du Quai Branly in Paris. Bringing together specialists, anthropologists, historians,
musicologists, sociologists, the dissemination of jazz outside of its places of birth will be explored. We
will look at this ‘other jazz’, whose history is little and poorly known. Jazz music circulated very early
on and engendered particularly rich and fertile musical and cultural progeny around the world.
Papers are encouraged that will increase our understanding of the spread of jazz in South Africa, in
Mauritius and in the Indian Ocean, South America and even in India and Asia. This "global" jazz
prefigured the great movement of globalization of popular music in the twentieth and twenty‐first
centuries, but remains poorly documented. The conference will bring together researchers from
different countries, who have begun to address, preferably on an empirical basis, these secondary
circuits of diffusion.
The conference will conclude with the screening of a documentary on the dissemination of jazz in
India, Finding Carlton. Uncovering the Story of Jazz in India, followed by a discussion with the
director, Susheel Kurien.
