“爵士远远不止是音乐，它是一种生活方式和一种对话，甚至是社会变革的工具。爵士的历史叙述了音乐把不同文化和背景的艺术家聚和在一起的力量，就像一个整合和相互尊重的驱动器”。
-- 联合国教科文组织总干事伊琳娜.博科娃
“爵士世界主义-——从西方到东方”国际研讨会将关注爵士做为一个国家和跨国文化的实践，比较其音乐在不同国际语境下的使用和体现，探索有关文化发展、同化、采用和交换的问题。爵士在不同国际场景的文化以及亚文化生活中扮演了复杂的角色，此次会议将探讨爵士研究者、音乐家和爱好者们对音乐的演绎和同音乐互动的方式。爵士网络在各种文化中构成和建立的方式，音乐是如何被解释，并被作为社会和文化变革的的驱动力。此次研讨会将探索爵士音乐对国家和地区格局，以及“东方”和“西方”概念的挑战。

International symposium: Jazz Cosmopolitanism from East to West
A 3 day symposium hosted by Ningbo University College of Arts in partnership with the School of Arts & Media, University of Salford.
Location: Ningbo University College of Arts, Ningbo, China
Dates: 9-12 January 2015
Call for Papers
"Jazz is so much more than music: it is a lifestyle and a tool for dialogue, even social change. The history of jazz tells of the power of music to bring together artists from different cultures and backgrounds, as a driver of integration and mutual respect."
Irina Bokova, Director General, UNESCO
Jazz Cosmopolitanism from East to West will focus on jazz as both a national and transnational cultural practice, comparing the uses and representations of music in different international contexts in order to explore questions relating to the development, assimilation, appropriation, and exchange of culture. Jazz plays a complex role in the cultural and sub-cultural life of different international scenes and this event will examine ways in which jazz scholars, musicians and fans interpret and interact with the music, the ways in which jazz networks are constructed and established in various cultures, how music is translated, and serves as a driver for social and cultural change. Jazz Cosmopolitanism from East to West will investigate ways in which the music can challenge established stereotypical distinctions between national settings and regions, including concepts of East and West.
The organising committee welcomes proposals for presentations which focus specifically on the following themes:
· Jazz as a tool for social change and/or cultural understanding
· The relationship between jazz, national cultural values, and transnational influences
· Jazz in translation: the cultural meanings of jazz in different international settings
· Challenging dominant representations of jazz as evidenced in the attitudes and practices of critics, musicians and audiences as well as representations in film, television and literature. This could include the exploration of established mythologies and stereotypes distinctions between East and West
