Visual Jazz : performative Mittel afroamerikanischer Identitätsrepräsentation in Dudley Murphys 'St. Louis Blues' und 'Black and Tan Fantasy' (1929)

Dass die Filmgeschichte des frühen Jazz in weiten Teilen noch Forschungsdesiderat geblieben ist, ist insofern erstaunlich, als die performative Komponente – der Auftritt als solcher, aber genauso die mediale Bannung und Verfügbarmachung des 'unwiederholbaren Moments' - unbestritten als eines der wichtigsten Charakteristika von Jazz gilt. Vorrangiges Medium der Speicherung von Jazzgeschichte sind selbstverständlich die Tonträger. Hinsichtlich der Performance von Jazz - also der körperlichen, Identität vorstellenden oder konstruierenden Präsenz der Musikerin/des Musikers - sind aber gerade Bildmedien und insbesondere Filmkunstwerke aussagekräftige Auskunftgeber (Gabbard 2003). Zu den frühesten tonfilmischen Jazzdokumenten gehören die beiden Jazz-Kurzfilme, die Dudley Murphy im Jahr 1929 für RKO schrieb und drehte: die musical shorts 'St. Louis Blues' mit Bessie Smith (Premiere: New York Ende August 1929) und 'Black and Tan Fantasy' mit Duke Ellington (Premiere: New York 8. Dezember 1929)

MEI Meets NFDI4Culture

NFDI4Culture is the consortium for research data on material and immaterial cultural heritage and offers a user-centered and research-led infrastructure. By focusing on the digital capture as well as data-based research of cultural assets, NFDI4Culture brings together different disciplines in their research interests but also in terms of their infrastructure needs. The consortium has been funded since October 2020 for an initial period of 5 years. Paderborn University is connected to NFDI4Culture via the Center for Music, Edition, Media (Zen-MEM), which bundles activities in the fields of digital musicology, music and film informatics, media science, media technologies, and in several areas of computer science with a special focus on Digital Music Edition and Digital Musicology. With its many projects, ZenMEM contributes a lot to the further development of MEI. MEI will therefore also have a special place in NFDI4Culture. In addition to general community aspects and enhancements of the format, activities will focus on the development of best practice recommendations and training materials, the further development of MEI-related tools, such as MerMEId and the MEIGarage, and concepts for data quality in MEI, but also on the improvement of standard data for musical works. The poster will show the organizational structure of NFDI4Culture and its representation at Paderborn University, its interaction and networking with national and international infrastructures, combined with several examples where MEI is involved

NFDI4Culture - Consortium for research data on material and immaterial cultural heritage

Digital data on tangible and intangible cultural assets is an essential part of daily life, communication and experience. It has a lasting influence on the perception of cultural identity as well as on the interactions between research, the cultural economy and society. Throughout the last three decades, many cultural heritage institutions have contributed a wealth of digital representations of cultural assets (2D digital reproductions of paintings, sheet music, 3D digital models of sculptures, monuments, rooms, buildings), audio-visual data (music, film, stage performances), and procedural research data such as encoding and annotation formats. The long-term preservation and FAIR availability of research data from the cultural heritage domain is fundamentally important, not only for future academic success in the humanities but also for the cultural identity of individuals and society as a whole. Up to now, no coordinated effort for professional research data management on a national level exists in Germany. NFDI4Culture aims to fill this gap and create a usercentered, research-driven infrastructure that will cover a broad range of research domains from musicology, art history and architecture to performance, theatre, film, and media studies. The research landscape addressed by the consortium is characterized by strong institutional differentiation. Research units in the consortium's community of interest comprise university institutes, art colleges, academies, galleries, libraries, archives and museums. This diverse landscape is also characterized by an abundance of research objects, methodologies and a great potential for data-driven research. In a unique effort carried out by the applicant and co-applicants of this proposal and ten academic societies, this community is interconnected for the first time through a federated approach that is ideally suited to the needs of the participating researchers. To promote collaboration within the NFDI, to share knowledge and technology and to provide extensive support for its users have been the guiding principles of the consortium from the beginning and will be at the heart of all workflows and decision-making processes. Thanks to these principles, NFDI4Culture has gathered strong support ranging from individual researchers to highlevel cultural heritage organizations such as the UNESCO, the International Council of Museums, the Open Knowledge Foundation and Wikimedia. On this basis, NFDI4Culture will take innovative measures that promote a cultural change towards a more reflective and sustainable handling of research data and at the same time boost qualification and professionalization in data-driven research in the domain of cultural heritage. This will create a long-lasting impact on science, cultural economy and society as a whole

Lesen und Schreiben im digitalen Dickicht. Musikwissenschaft, Digital Humanities und die hybride Musikbibliothek

Digitalisierung generiert ‚hybride‘ Objekte, die zwar als digitale Datei lesbar und manipulierbar sind, das zugrundeliegende kulturhistorische Objekt jedoch weiterhin ‚enthalten‘. Eine Bibliothek, die Objekte aus ihren Beständen digitalisiert, begründet also eigentlich keine sogenannte digitale Bibliothek, sondern eine hybride Bibliothek. Im Falle musikalischer Überlieferung ist die Sachlage aufgrund der medienhistorischen Komplexität musikalischer Artefakte besonders unübersichtlich. Verschärft wird die heutige Situation noch durch die Erzeugnisse der Digital Humanities, die keineswegs bloß ‚Informationen‘ sind, sondern ihrerseits komplexe und in der Regel hybride Textgebilde, die häufig komplette digitalisierte Re- Publikationen von Kulturobjekten einbinden, die digital ‚beschriftet‘ und vernetzt werden. Das digitale ‚Dickicht‘ erfordert daher einen gleichsam genetischen und relationalen Katalog, in dem die konkreten kulturhistorischen Objekte in ihren konkreten Sammlungskontexten – also als Unikate Ankerfunktion haben.Digitization produces ‚hybrid‘ objects that are readable as digital data files but at the same time still ‚contain‘ the original cultural-historical object. In this perspective, ‚digital collections‘, ‚digital libraries‘ and so on are in fact hybrid collections, or libraries. For musical artefacts, the range of historical media is especially complex, which again concerns the digital world. Digital Humanities publications also contribute to the complex and confusing situation as they themselves are not only ‚information‘, but as a rule, complex and hybrid textual systems that often contain complete digitized re-publications of cultural objects, providing them with digital ‚inscriptions‘, and interlinking them. So the hybridity of ‚digital libraries‘ increases as soon as Digital Humanities publications are being integrated. Therefore, metadata should mirror precisely the hybrid nature of the digitized/digital objects catalogued
