>Music is habitually cited as the core expressive form in African American
>culture, yet the question of what this has meant for both music and other
>art forms has rarely been addressed in detail.
>Focusing on the history of JAZZ and BLUES, our project will endeavour to
>explicate this situation. The central question we intend to confront is:
>what has been the nature and extent of the relationship between black music
>and other African American art forms, particularly PAINTING, POETRY, FICTION
>and FILM?
>
>Following the success of our one-day 'Jazzthetics' colloquium in May 2003,
>we are now planning a three-day conference in June 2004.
>
>Guest speakers will include Robin D.G. Kelley, John F. Szwed and Robert
>Farris Thompson.
>
>Papers are invited on any aspect of the relationship between music and other
>facets of 20th century African American culture.
>
>Please send abstracts (c.500 words) and a brief CV to
>(graham.taylor /at/ nottingham.ac.uk)  [please write 'Conference proposal' in the
>email subject field]. Or write to Dr. Graham Taylor, School of American &
>Canadian Studies, University of Nottingham, University Park, Nottingham NG7
>2RD, United Kingdom.
>
>Closing date for proposals: 15th December 2003.
>
>We hope to respond to proposals by mid-January.
