Mitografía y mitopoeia del jazz y del blues en la cultura estadounidense contemporánea= Jazz and blues-idiomatic mythography and mythopoeia in contemporary american culture Alonso Recarte, Claudia Durán Giménez-Rico, Isabel Valls Oyarzun, Eduardo 785.161(043.2) Jazz Blues Literatura Música instrumental Literatura Música vocal 6203.06 Música, Musicología 5701.07 Lengua y Literatura 6203.06 Música, Musicología Tesis inédita de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Facultad de Filología, Departamento de Filología Inglesa II (Literatura de los Paises de Lengua Inglesa), leída el 17-04-2012 The object of this dissertation is to examine the mythopoeic intricacies involved in the representation of jazz in discursive forms ranging from fiction to non-fiction, from journalism to documentary film. I use Laurence Coupe‟s distinction between mythography and mythopoeia as the starting point. Coupe defines mythopoeia as those literary works “tending to create or re-create certain narratives which human beings take to be crucial to their understanding of their world” (2009: 4), or, in other words, “the capacity to produce myths and to provide a model of the world” (2009: 34). Mythography, on the other hand, is “the interpretation of myth” (2009: 4); it requires the scholar to read “which paradigms are of interest, and how to interpret them” (2009: 13). My role, therefore, is that of a mythographer, as I attempt to decipher the manner by which myth colonizes jazz and the blues idiom to create a cultural construct, one composed of a series of images aiming towards universal representation and eternalization. I have chosen to deal with several genres as part of the corpus because my aim is not to establish the mythopoeic tendencies of jazz solely at a literary level, but to attempt to grasp the impact that these narratives had at a cultural scale. It is hard to say whether the narrative corpus which is the material for analysis has determined the methodological approach or viceversa.
