Radio Fields – Anthropology and Wireless Sound in the 21st Century

Autor Lucas Bessire, Daniel Fisher, Faye Ginsburg
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 noi 2012
Radio is the most widespread electronic medium in the world today. As a form of technology that is both durable and relatively cheap, radio remains central to the everyday lives of billions of people around the globe. It is used as a call for prayer in Argentina and Appalachia, to organize political protest in Mexico and Libya, and for wartime communication in Iraq and Afghanistan. In urban centres it is played constantly in shopping malls, waiting rooms, and classrooms. Yet despite its omnipresence, it remains the media form least studied by anthropologists.Radio Fields employs ethnographic methods to reveal the diverse domains in which radio is imagined, deployed, and understood. Drawing on research from six continents, the volume demonstrates how the particular capacities and practices of radio provide singular insight into diverse social worlds, ranging from aboriginal Australia to urban Zambia. Together, the contributors address how radio creates distinct possibilities for rethinking such fundamental concepts as culture, communication, community, and collective agency.

Recenzii

“Radio Fields cackles and buzzes [with] the social life of radio and the noise of an anthropology of close listening. I can't imagine a more well-theorized and deeply grounded entre to the sensory mediation politics of radiophony in global public culture.” Steven Feld, Distinguished Professor of Anthropology and Music, University of New Mexico
