Making Jazz in Contemporary Japan

A Passionate Search for Self-Expression

By: Marie Buscatto

Making Jazz in Contemporary Japan: A Passionate Search for Self-Expression explores the ways in which Japanese jazz musicians express themselves through their art—not to “japanize” jazz, but to assert one’s creativity, passion, and capacity for self-expression—establishing it as an art form with its own sense of musicality and cultural, social, and economic concerns. This ethnographic survey contextualizes a shift in the Japanese jazz world over the last 30 years: What once was a culture dependent on the American influence is now a thriving local scene creating a wide variety of original, transnational compositions. Based on digital and physical observations and extensive interviews with nearly three dozen Japanese professional jazz musicians while featuring portraits of well-known artists, this empirical investigation into how, where, and why jazz is performed, opens doors to touch on culturally sensitive and taboo topics such as gender, sexuality, and indigenization. Suited for readers in global jazz studies and cultural study programs alike, this book is a timely sociological consideration of the Japanese jazz diaspora, a necessary update to break free of established tropes and clichés envisioning Japanese artists as mere imitators.

Women in Jazz

Musicality, Femininity, Marginalization

By: Marie Buscatto

Women in Jazz: Musicality, Femininity, Marginalization examines the invisible discrimination against female musicians in the French jazz world and the ways in which women thrive as professionals despite such conditions. The author shines a light on the paradox for women in jazz: to express oneself in a "feminine" way is to be denigrated for it, yet to behave in a "masculine" manner is to be devalued for a lack of femininity. This masculine world ensures it is more difficult for women to be recognized as jazz musicians than it is for men – even when musicians, critics and audiences are ideologically opposed to discrimination. Female singers are confined by the feminine stereotypes of their profession, while female instrumentalists must comport themselves into traditionally masculine roles. The author explores the academic and professional socializations of these musicians, the musical choice they make and how they are perceived by jazz professionals as a result. First published in French by CNRS Editions in 2007 (and later reissued in paperback in 2018, with the author’s postscript that "nothing much has changed"), Women in Jazz: Musicality, Femininity, Marginalization expands the conversation beyond the French border, identifying female jazz musicians as a discriminated minority all around the world.

Teachers, Gender and the Feminisation Debate

By: Marie-Pierre Moreau

Teachers, Gender and the Feminisation Debate critically engages with the claim that teaching is a feminised profession and offers a comprehensive and authoritative analysis of the way gender and power play out in the lives of male and female teachers. Informed by social constructivist, feminist theories of work and education, the book adopts a relational and intersectional approach to gender. Drawing on a range of primary and secondary sources, including national and international datasets, policy and research texts, and an original corpus of interviews conducted by the author in England and France, the book provides a timely assessment of a view of teaching as feminised. It explores the various discourses and debates about the feminisation of teaching which circulate in media and policy circles in a range of local, national and international contexts, and questions some of the claims underpinning these discourses. It also analyses the experiences of men and women who teach, looking at the way gender and power impact on their careers and private lives in the context of the feminisation debate. Teachers, Gender and the Feminisation Debate offers a research-informed and comprehensive account of gender issues in the teaching profession and will be of great interest to academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of education, sociology and gender studies.

Nicole Kidman

By: Marie Lerault

Vingt ans après ses débuts à Hollywood, Nicole Kidman n'en finit pas de surprendre. La belle Australo-Américaine collectionne les distinctions comme les échecs : des blockbusters aux films d'auteurs, cette grande rousse au regard énigmatique s'est construit un parcours hors norme. Les films qui jalonnent sa carrière résonnent en écho aux événements les plus marquants et les plus tragiques de sa vie : coup de foudre, maternité contrariée, séparation... Dirigée par les plus grands réalisateurs (Gus Van Sant, Baz Luhrmann, Jane Gampion, Lars Von Trier, Stanley Kubrick ou encore Rob Marshall), Nicole Kidman est une perfectionniste. Elle n'a pourtant jamais su résister aux sirènes des grosses productions. Aujourd'hui, celle qui figure toujours parmi les actrices les mieux payées d'Hollywood, ne serait plus rentable... De ses débuts à la télévision australienne à son mariage, puis son divorce, avec Tom Cruise, de Prête à tout à une nouvelle vie de famille, c'est le parcours d'une actrice tout à la fois timide, audacieuse et ambitieuse qui est ici retracé. Le portrait d'une femme complexe. Fille et soeur dévouée, actrice passionnée, épouse exigeante, mère inaccomplie... A 40 ans passés, la plus hitchcockienne des actrices contemporaines découvre finalement la maternité. Ce rôle, elle veut le jouer à la perfection en attendant son retour en grâce dans les salles obscures. Marie Lherault enseigne la sociologie des médias à Sciences Po. Auteur de plusieurs ouvrages sur la télévision, elle a également été journaliste pour le site Internet du magazine Première.
