Enigmas of the Third Space: Mingus and Varèse at Greenwich House, 1957

Abstract

In 1957 Edgard Varèse led a series of improvisation sessions in Greenwich Village with jazz musicians who included Charles Mingus, Art Farmer, Don Butterfield, Teo Macero, and Ed Shaughnessy. Few scholars have explored this episode, a lacuna that speaks to a wider, racially inflected rift in historiographies of jazz and non-jazz musical avant-gardes. Against this tendency I bring new light to the sessions as a messy and fleeting exchange characterized by mutual curiosity and crossed signals, drawing on analysis of session recordings, original interviews, and archival research. Within the larger ensemble of musicians I focus on Edgard Varèse and Charles Mingus in particular, in order to address dilemmas of race and citizenship in downtown New York during a period of postwar American cultural ascendency and national canon formation. To this end I claim Homi Bhabha's notion of “third space” as the most promising sign under which to construe the sessions, a concept that foregrounds ambivalent and transient cultural crossings that play out across an uneven field of power.

The Third Design Space: A postcolonial perspective on corporate engagement with open source software communities

“…The concept of a third space has been taken up enthusiastically in interesting and useful ways by numerous scholars outside of the information systems discipline (Aaen & Dalsgaard, 2016;Brueckner, Spencer, Wise, & Marika, 2016;Chase, 2018;Chulach & Gagnon, 2016;Cohen, 2018;Dudgeon & Fielder, 2006;Fowler, 2007;Furman, 2016;…”

They have all found Bhabha's concept of a third space useful in illuminating their specific fields of study ranging from critical human geography studies to jazz music as shown chronologically in Table .…”

A Research on Solar Greenhouse Dryer

“…It reasoned the process that was drying permit the manipulation of Poly Ethylene green houses at the summertime if used [9].Jain and also Tiwari learned of mass transport coefficient and achieved moisture removing speed in peas and cabbage to get greenhouse drying and sun. It reasoned in an organic manner, the convective mass transport coefficient was to reduce within the rainwater drying compared to receptive sun-drying and also at the first phase of drying, and its own worth was dipped below driven manner in rainwater drying compared to ordinary convection [10].Tiwari et al generated an endeavor to take a look at the convective mass transport coefficient from a regression investigation throughout jaggery drying at the roofing type much length greenhouse under forced and natural convection manner. It had been revealed the whole drying of jaggery underneath forced convection as faster than beneath standard convection because expectable and convective mass transport coefficient in forced convection was significantly greater compared to A Research on Solar Greenhouse Dryer Kanika Jindal, Jitendra Kumar organic convection modes [11].Jain and also Tiwari offered mathematical design to look into the results of rainwater on plants drying (Cabbage and Peas) underneath forced and natural convection as well as also to get receptive sun-drying (normal convection) [12].Jain made a model to research the operation of the period greenhouse with bed for drying out blossoms saline storage has been completed outside.…”
