Radio Public Life and Citizen Deliberation in South Africa

Radio Public Life and Citizen Deliberation in South Africa

This book critically analyses the important role of radio in public life in post-apartheid South Africa. As the most widespread and popular form of communication in the country radio occupies an essential space in the deliberation and the construction of public opinion in South Africa. From just a few state-controlled stations during the apartheid era there are now more than 100 radio stations reaching vast swathes of the population and providing an important space for citizens to air their views and take part in significant socio-economic and political issues of the country. The various contributors to this book demonstrate that whilst print and television media often serve elite interests and audiences the low cost and flexibility of radio has helped it to create a ‘common’ space for national dialogue and deliberation. The book also investigates the ways in which digital technologies have enhanced the consumption of radio and produced a sense of imagined community for citizens including those in marginalised communities and rural areas. This book will be of interest to researchers with an interest in media politics and culture in South Africa specifically as well as those with an interest in broadcast media more generally. | Radio Public Life and Citizen Deliberation in South Africa

The Spatialities of Radio Astronomy

The Spatialities of Radio Astronomy

The Spatialities of Radio Astronomy examines the multidisciplinary overlap between the spatial disciplines and the studies of science and technology through a comparative study of four of the world’s most important radio telescopes. Employing detailed analysis historical research interviews personal observations and various conceptual manoeuvres Guy Trangoš reveals the depth of spatial process active at these scientific sites and the territories they traverse. Through the conceptual frameworks of territory hyper-concentration and contingency Trangoš interprets the telescope as exploded across space and time present in multiple connected sites simultaneously and active in the production of space. He develops a historiographic and contemporary analysis of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA Chile); the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST China); the Arecibo Observatory (Puerto Rico); and the MeerKAT/SKA (South Africa). These case studies are global exemplars of the different spatial transformations that occur through science. Their relationships to surrounding communities and landscapes reveal deeper constitutional processes embodied in each institutional and spatial form. This book spans the modern history of architecture and science the studies of science technology and society and urban theory. It is of specific interest to architects and designers expanding their analysis of spatial production scholars in the study of geography landscape science technology and astronomy and people fascinated with how these radio telescopes were conceptualised built and operate today.

Inside MTV

Inside MTV

MTV is the third major breakthrough in music broadcasting and the first since the late 1960s. Top Forty radio was initiated in the 1950s and along with free form or progressive rock molded rock music exposure for nearly twenty years. Many observers credit MTV with resurrecting the music industry from the throes of the Great Depression of 1979. Few would dispute its impact on contemporary film fashion and radio. Inside MTV examines the world of cablecasting the evolution of WASEC MTV VH-1 and some of their competitors. The strategies personalities promotions and the contents that placed MTV on the road to its dominant position are described. The many controversies surrounding the channel are thoroughly detailed and a good deal of the misinformation on the subject is corrected. It is a mere five years since MTV began as the third of four Warner-Amex Satellite Entertainment Company (WASEC) channels created by two of America's largest conglomerates. Since then it has become a major force. Before MTV was conceived the relationship between television and rock music was weak at best. As the new partnership . developed a story of genius luck and discrimination began to unfold and a corporate innovation of major proportions and psychodemographic success emerged. MTV is now the most profitable 24-hour cable outlet beamed from a satellite. It reaches 30. 8 million households. How all this happened is chronicled in this major new book from a leading authority on the American music business.

Television and the Political Image A Study of the Impact of Television on the 1959 General Election

Television and the Political Image A Study of the Impact of Television on the 1959 General Election

Was the 1959 UK General Election the first television election? Could television be used to create a Party ‘image’? Television and the Political Image (1961) provides answers to both these questions. It surveys two constituencies interviewing the same cross-section of electors before and after the election campaign and analyses and compares the campaigns as conducted by television radio the Press and through the work of the local Parties. Various effects of the political barrage are measured and attributed to their sources; such effects include changes in voting intention during the course of the election campaign changes in attitudes to Parties and their leaders and changes in what the voter knows of the parties’ policies. | Television and the Political Image A Study of the Impact of Television on the 1959 General Election

Media Sociology

Media Sociology

The British post-war campaign to ban American horror comics neatly illustrates many of the pitfalls of media research. It is the first case-study used by David Barrat as he reviews this rapidly growing field of sociology. He gives a clear account of how and why sociologists have studied the media looking in particular at the arguments about the effects of television video comics newspapers and radio on their audiences. He explains how media organizations work how 'news' is manufactured and what the political and commercial constraints can be. He discusses the likely impact on new technologies including satellite and cable television on the media industry. The final chapter is about methods of studying the media such as 'uses and gratifications' content analysis semiology and structural approaches. | Media Sociology

Methods in Practical Laboratory Bacteriology

Methods in Practical Laboratory Bacteriology

The success of laboratory experiments relies heavily on the technical ability of the bench scientist with the aid of tricks-of-the-trade to generate consistent and reliable data. Regrettably however these invaluable tricks-of-the-trade are frequently omitted from scientific publications. This paucity of practical information relating to the conduct of laboratory bacteriology experiments creates a gaping void in the pertinent literature. Methods in Practical Laboratory Bacteriology fills this void. It provides detailed technical information that ensures that you achieve consistent and reliable data. The book addresses the aspects of bacterial fractionation and membrane characterization the analysis of Lipopolysaccharides and the techniques of SDS-PAGE immunoblotting and ELISA. It also describes the methods used for detecting and quantifying bacterial resistance to antibiotics and the analysis of bacterial chromosomes by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Methods in Practical Laboratory Bacteriology also covers protocols for extracting the fingerprinting plasmids as well as the use of non-radio labeled gene probes and ribosomal RNA gene probes.

Kinderculture The Corporate Construction of Childhood

America is a corporatized society defined by a culture of consumerism and the youth market is one of the groups that corporations target most. By marketing directly to children through television movies radio video games toys books and fast food advertisers have produced a 'kinderculture'. In this eye-opening book editor Shirley R. Steinberg reveals the profound impact that our purchasing-obsessed culture has on our children and argues that the experience of childhood has been reshaped into something that is prefabricated. Analyzing the pervasive influence of these corporate productions top experts in the fields of education sociology communications and cultural studies contribute incisive essays that students parents educators and general readers will find insightful and entertaining. Including seven new chapters this third edition is thoroughly updated with examinations of the icons that shape the values and consciousness of today's children including Twilight True Blood and vampires hip hop Hannah Montana Disney and others. | Kinderculture The Corporate Construction of Childhood
