《绝世爵士》选载

什么是爵士乐?不同年代的作者们都曾经试图回答这个问题,他们对“什么是爵士乐”和“什么不是爵士乐”做了太多的限定,所以都不免显得短视。在很长一段时间里,爵士乐受到诸如古典音乐、进行曲、福音歌曲、劳动号子、拉格泰姆音乐(Ragtime)、布鲁斯以及流行音乐的影响。最基本的。     

The Jazz Archives Fellowship: Professional Development and Diversity at the Institute of Jazz Studies

The Institute of Jazz Studies (IJS) started the Jazz Archives Fellows program in 2012 with two purposes in mind. First, the program focuses on improving diversity in the archives profession. Second, it provides a meaningful professional development opportunity for archivists in the early stages of their careers and for students in graduate programs who intend to become archivists. In addition, the IJS benefits directly from the fellows' work to process a collection and create a digital project. This article presents a case study of the Fellowship with a focus on program design, values, and lessons learned and includes recommendations for establishing similar programs.     

Jazz discometrics – A network approach

‘Discometrics’, a long neglected area of informetric studies was revisited in a network context. Cooperation between jazz musicians was analysed using the recent ‘Hirschian’ concepts of network informetrics. Partnership Ability Index (φ) was found to be a useful measure to characterize the way performers are embedded in their partnership network. Indications of some positive relations between φ and other ‘qualities’ of the performers were found.     

The Institute of Jazz Studies and Rutgers University

This institutional history of the Institute of Jazz Studies traces its development from 1952 to 1990. It traces the institute from its non-profit private corporation status through its acquisition by Rutgers University and its subsequent evolution to a nationally recognized scholarly resource. Special attention is given the individuals who fostered the idea and then worked actively to nurture it in the university setting. This paper relies upon primary sources consisting of tape recorded interviews with ten of the individuals intimately involved in the struggles of the institute and a number of internal documents. The author hopes that telling the tale will give these individuals their due and, at the same time, give hope to others with similar enterprises in mind.     

关联数据在数字人文领域中的应用剖析——以关联爵士项目为例

关联爵士项目是一项探索关联数据在数字人文领域中应用的实验项目,主要关注如何利用关联数据提升文化遗产文献的可视性,即通过爵士历史的数字档案揭示音乐家之间的关系以及他们在爵士领域的社交网络.介绍关联爵士项目产生的背景、具体内容、开发步骤以及项目中的关键问题,认为其可以为我国关联数据与数字人文领域的结合研究带来一定的启示:采用挖掘实体关系为目标的研究路线与方法、最大化文本来源、发布中文名称规范关联数据、对现有本体进行选择和映射、利用众包方式开展文本分析工作.
