Jazz Music in the Educational Institution: A Journey of Translation from the Periphery to the Heart of the Canon of Cultured Music in the West

Abstract

This paper aims to conform a theoretical approach around the process of insertion and translation of jazz music into the canon of cultured western music, monopolized in a paradigmatic way by European classical music. Starting from a theoretical substratum formed in relation to polysystem theory, postulated by the Israeli researcher Itamar Even-Zohar, the synergies, conjunctures and conditioning factors underlying a movement of translation that has led to the change of consideration of a musical genre such as jazz, from a conception as marginal and minority music, associated with a specific socio-cultural context, to its recognition as one of the most avant-garde, refined and valued artistic expressions of Western culture are analysed.
