JazzDias traces the transnational influence of postwar American crime films in terms of their musical aspects, examining their cultural impact on British and European (French, Polish, Italian) cinemas-and these cinemas' influence on Hollywood in turn. The project explores how the urban crime genre is assimilated and reimagined in terms of modern jazz's potential to signify primal impulses gendered as "masculine" violence and "feminine" sexuality. After accumulating evidence available in film archives within the UK and Europe, the ER shall apply an interdisciplinary theoretical apparatus to this specific global media-manufacture of racial prejudice spanning well beyond the United States. Through an ambitious programme of dissemination, JazzDias will raise academic and popular awareness of crime-jazz "diasporas" emanating from the globalized distribution of Hollywood mainstream product, as well as "counter diasporas" of foreign art house films in the USA. And it will provide a more nuanced understanding of American and overseas audiences' cultural ambivalence toward these films in ways both universal and idiosyncratic.

JazzDias 追溯了战后美国犯罪电影在音乐方面的跨国影响，考察了它们对英国和欧洲（法国、波兰、意大利）电影的文化影响，以及这些电影对好莱坞的影响。该项目探讨了城市犯罪类型如何被同化和重新想象，现代爵士乐具有象征“男性”暴力和“女性”性欲的原始冲动的潜力。在积累了英国和欧洲电影档案中的可用证据后，急诊室应将跨学科的理论工具应用于这一特定的全球媒体制造的种族偏见，其范围远远超出了美国。通过雄心勃勃的传播计划，JazzDias 将提高学术界和公众对好莱坞主流产品全球化发行所产生的犯罪爵士乐“侨民”以及美国外国艺术电影“反侨民”的认识。它将让我们更细致地了解美国和海外观众对这些电影的普遍和特殊的文化矛盾心理。
