Jazz y todo lo demás
Los diferentes capítulos que componen el cuerpo de este libro trazan un recorrido espacio-temporal, descendente, desde una mirada cenital inicial que se deriva en frecuencias ondulantes desde la llegada del jazz a Europa, bajando en espiral hacia el surgimiento y sofisticación de las tecnologías electrónicas y digitales, asi como su impacto en la globalización de la industria musical, hasta concluir en los clubes y bares que componen la escena jazzística más cercana del autor, la de su ciudad, Sevilla. Jazz y todo lo demás abona en la comprensión del jazz como música global, sus materializaciones en diferentes lugares del mundo, su apropiación por músicos de otras culturas en contextos sociales diferentes al de su origen. Suma así a la reflexion de la diversidad y extensión de este género musical en su difusión por las diferentes escenas locales (Nueva York, Cuba y Latinoamérica; África y Asia; España y Suecia) y lo que estas han generado en riqueza y variedad a lo largo y ancho de todo el planeta.

Global Jazz
Global Jazz: A Research and Information Guide is an annotated bibliography that explores the global impact of jazz, detailing the evolution of the African American musical tradition as it has been absorbed, transformed, and expanded across the world’s historical, political, and social landscapes. With more than 1,300 annotated entries, this vast compilation covers a broad range of subjects, people, and geographic regions as they relate to interdisciplinary research in jazz studies. The result is a vivid demonstration of how cultures from every corner of the globe have situated jazz—often regarded as America’s classical music—within and beyond their own musical traditions, creating new artistic forms in the process. Global Jazz: A Research and Information Guide presents jazz as a common musical language in a global landscape of diverse artistic expression.

Argentine Queer Tango
Argentine Queer Tango: Dance and Sexuality Politics in Buenos Aires investigates changes in tango dancing in Buenos Aires during the first decade of the twenty-first century and its relationship to contemporary social and cultural transformations. Mercedes Liska focuses on one of the proposed alternatives to conventional tango, queer tango, which proposes to rethink one of the alleged icons of a national culture from a feminist conception and to imagine social transformation processes from bodily experiences. Specifically, this book analyzes the value of bodily experiences, the redefinition of the mind-body relationship, and the transformation in the dynamics of the dance from the heteronormative movements of tango. In doing so, Liska addresses the ways in which bodily techniques and gender theories are involved in the denaturing and corporeality decoding of tango and its historical senses as well as the connections between different tango dance practices spread throughout the world.
Black USA and Spain
During the 20th-century, Spaniards and African-Americans shared significant cultural memories forged by the profound impact that various artistic and historical events had on each other. Addressing three crucial periods (the Harlem Renaissance and Jazz Age, the Spanish Civil War, and Franco's dictatorship), this collection of essays explores the transnational bond and the intercultural exchanges between these two communities, using race as a fundamental critical category. The study of travelogues, memoirs, documentaries, interviews, press coverage, comics, literary works, music, and performances by iconic figures such as Josephine Baker, Langston Hughes, and Ramón Gómez de la Serna, as wel...
