Call For Papers:
"Jazz Perspectives" Journal
Routledge announces "JAZZ PERSPECTIVES," the world's first
peer-reviewed journal entirely devoted to jazz scholarship. As an
international, cross-disciplinary platform for jazz studies, the
journal will consider all articles reporting on original research and
analysis (musical, historical, cultural, or otherwise). The journal
additionally welcomes articles on topics in biography, oral history,
discography, and primary source studies. The first issue of "Jazz
Perspectives" will appear in January 2007. Thereafter, the journal will
be published biannually with issues released each April and October.
The deadline to be considered for the first issue is 1 April 2006.
The birth of "Jazz Perspectives" is an exciting event in jazz
scholarship. While there continues to be a growing number of large and
small commercial periodicals devoted to jazz, this new academic jazz
community has yet to find a collective international forum to promote
cross-disciplinary scholarly dialogue. This is the goal of "Jazz
Perspectives." As a refereed academic journal with an international
editorial board, "Jazz Perspectives" aims to bridge the
jazz-as-music
and jazz-as-culture divide of contemporary jazz studies, as well as to
promote broader international perspectives on the jazz tradition and
its legacy. The pages of the journal will be devoted to all aspects
of—and all approaches to—jazz scholarship. The journal will be an
open
platform for historical inquiry, music analysis, and cultural studies.
Our mission is to stimulate the international study and appreciation of
the rich legacy of jazz and its many musical and cultural tangents,
both past and present.
