Colloquia

"During the first seven years of project activity, ICASP will present a total of twenty-one international general-audience colloquia."

Overview

Since 1996 the Guelph Jazz Festival Colloquium, co-presented by the University of Guelph and the Macdonald Stewart Art Centre in partnership with the Guelph Jazz Festival, has brought together diverse communities of interest by providing a scholarly forum for dialogue among researchers, creative practitioners, arts presenters, and members of the general public. In many ways, this colloquium has been the driving force behind the larger project. It has already fostered an impressive record of publication including two scholarly books and numerous published articles. As part of this project, colloquia on related themes are also presented every year at the University of British Columbia, in partnership with the Coastal Jazz and Blues Society, and at McGill University, in partnership with Montreal’s La société des arts libres et actuels.

    • Listening itself, an improvisative act engaged in by everyone, announces a practice of active engagement with the world, where we sift, interpret, store and forget, in parallel with action and fundamentally articulated with it ("Mobilitas Animi" 113).
