Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Claremont Graduate University, 1998.

This is a genealogy of the acceptance and assimilation of Jazz into French culture which charts this development via the changes in French discourse on Jazz. Today, public discourse contesting the legitimacy of Jazz for French culture is no longer possible: the notion that the French love Jazz has gained standing as a cultural truism. Yet the discursive paradigm supporting this tacit consensus was built on contested terrain, a terrain marked by battles over the legitimacy of Jazz for French culture. French discourse on Jazz functions as a screen for the projection of ideas about culture. One can understand changing perceptions of "true" French culture in relation to the changes in the discourse on Jazz.

520 $a This is a genealogy of the acceptance and assimilation of Jazz into French culture which charts this development via the changes in French discourse on Jazz. Today, public discourse contesting the legitimacy of Jazz for French culture is no longer possible: the notion that the French love Jazz has gained standing as a cultural truism. Yet the discursive paradigm supporting this tacit consensus was built on contested terrain, a terrain marked by battles over the legitimacy of Jazz for French culture.

520 $a Jazz took on significance within different historically specific conversations: each chapter reconstructs one of these conversations. Chapter one examines discourse on pre-Jazz phenomena to show the existence of tropes and descriptive habits--cultural riffs--on American modernity, primitive expression, le negre and "true" French culture before the arrival of Jazz. Chapter two portrays the eruption of Jazz into French culture in the period of carnival and surrealism following the trauma of WWI. Chapter three analyzes the development of two species of Jazz within the discourse along so-called racial lines. Chapter four traces the ethnographic exploration of different elements of Jazz expression in the wake of La Revue Negre. Chapter five examines the focusing of certain cultural projections about "authentic" Jazz in the age of the sound film. Chapter six charts the rise of the Jazz-Hot movement and the professional Jazz critic during a period marked by the rise of authoritarian cultural discourse and the introduction of existentialism. Chapter seven reconstructs the cultural battles over Jazz and Swing during the Occupation, where Jazz became a symptom of judeo-negre-americain cultural disease for the Vichy regime and a symbol of resistance to that order for the Zazou movement. Chapter eight examines the Be-bop reconstruction period where anti-Jazz discourse, now associated with collaboration, was no longer possible and questions of style replaced questions of essence.
