Descriptif

Marie Buscatto, "Escaping the Japanization of one’s music, creating a universal art form: self-expression at the heart of Japanese jazz". 

Panel 2 : Son et représentations ethniques / Sound and ethnic representations 

Practising an art form that originated in the United States, Japanese jazz musicians tend to be confronted with an identity assignment based on their supposed ‘Japaneseness’ in order to prove the ‘authenticity’ of their creative approach. This identity assignment is generally associated with a devaluation of their ability to be original creators in their own right. The in-depth ethnographic survey carried out among Japanese jazz musicians since 2017 reveals musicians striving to escape the orientalisation of their creative approach. Admittedly, these musicians sometimes respond to this assignment of identity and put it forward for commercial purposes – by using a repertoire, an appearance, instruments or discourse that emphasise their supposed Japaneseness. But this strategy is usually instrumental and secondary. Instead, Japanese jazz musicians seek to assert themselves as creators of a universal art form. This paper aims to describe the ways in which these musicians escape the ‘Japonisation’ of their art through two original creative paths, which will then be presented in their social, sonic, visual and affective dimensions. 

Colloque "Le Japon sonore : modernité, constructions sociales, rapports de force / Japan and sound: modernity, social constructs and power relations", 14-16 novembre 2024, organisé par Jeremy Corral (UMRU 24140 D2IA, Université Bordeaux Montaigne) et par Chiharu Chûjô (EA 4186-IETT, Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3).
