Resumo

The aim of this article is to throw light on the production, financing, distribution, circulation and, to a lesser extent, reception of Jazz and the Night Light, two festive English-language periodicals in interwar Paris, in order to better understand their interactions with the French entertainment press of the time. However, as we will see, both publications should also be understood within the context of the Anglo-American tourism industry that was in full bloom in the Paris of the 1920s, and within the American indigenous cultural context of the time, which involved a liberal protest against Christian conservatism, including Prohibition, censorship, and some sexual restrictions. From a methodological perspective on periodical studies, this case study speaks once more for the fertility of material approaches to periodicals. Production, financing, distribution, circulation and reception data, even when they are partial, are gold mines to refine our understanding of broader cultural phenomena.
