Presentation in english : This workshop is an opportunity for discussion and encounters between seemingly sealed academic fields around the topic of radio during the 20th Century, in global perspective. The emphasis is placed on processes of reappropriation from publics of broadcasts that were initially created to rely on their consent. We can observe converging dynamics accross the globe in that matter. However, the outcomes differ according to local contexts.
This workshop intends to be a platform for dicussion over methodological and conceptual approaches. While the concept of race is omnipresent in the United States, it can be absent in other area studies, where concepts such as community or nation are preferred.
The discussion will take place in the form of a roundtable to suggest the main results of international research over radio, community and power.
