Social Uses And Radio Practices The Use Of Participatory Radio By Ethnic Minorities In Mexico

Social Uses And Radio Practices The Use Of Participatory Radio By Ethnic Minorities In Mexico

Combining concepts and methods from critical cultural studies with the Freirean approach to development Lucila Vargas examines the social value of participatory radio and the possibilities and constraints that participatory radio stations hold for improving the living conditions and the sense of self-esteem of the poor in Mexico. This book provides an ethnographic account of the social uses of radio created by several Mexican ethnic minorities by examining the matrix of interactions between a government-sponsored participatory radio network and its indigenous audiences. Vargas specifically emphasizes how and why the politics of race ethnicity class and gender shape the extent and quality of people's participation in development efforts and she also considers the larger issue of the way subaltern ethnic groups appropriate and refunctionalize modem mass technology. This inquiry leads to a method for analyzing the cultural subtleties and social intricacies of the practices that emerge from participatory radio. Through a thorough investigation of two Tojolabal Maya communities in the highlands of Chiapas Mexico Vargas reveals the conflicts and challenging contradictions typical of many participatory radio stations. She finds that despite the rampant racism against indigenous peoples prevalent at the radio stations groups like the Tojolabal Maya have found creative ways to make the best of the communication resources that this participatory project has made available to them. | Social Uses And Radio Practices The Use Of Participatory Radio By Ethnic Minorities In Mexico

Fashion and Masculinities in Popular Culture

Fashion and Masculinities in Popular Culture

Popular culture in the latter half of the twentieth century precipitated a decisive change in style and body image. Postwar film television radio shows pulp fiction and comics placed heroic types firmly within public consciousness. This book concentrates on these heroic male types as they have evolved from the postwar era and their relationship to fashion to the present day. As well as demonstrating the role of male icons in contemporary society this book’s originality also lies in showing the many gender slippages that these icons help to effect or expose. It is by exploring the somewhat inviolate types accorded to contemporary masculinity that we see the very fragility of a stable or rounded male identity. | Fashion and Masculinities in Popular Culture

The Politics of Verdi's Cantica

The Politics of Verdi's Cantica

The Politics of Verdi's Cantica treats a singular case study of the use of music to resist oppression combat evil and fight injustice. Cantica better known as Inno delle nazioni / Hymn of the Nations commissioned from Italy's foremost composer to represent the newly independent nation at the 1862 London International Exhibition served as a national voice of pride and of protest for Italy across two centuries and in two very different political situations. The book unpacks for the first time the full history of Verdi's composition from its creation performance and publication in the 1860s through its appropriation as purposeful social and political commentary and its perception by American broadcast media as a 'weapon of art' in the mid twentieth century. Based on largely untapped primary archival and other documentary sources journalistic writings and radio and film scripts the project discusses the changing meanings of the composition over time. It not only unravels the complex history of the work in the nineteenth century of greater significance it offers the first fully documented study of the performances radio broadcast and filming of the work by the renowned Italian conductor Arturo Toscanini during World War II. In presenting new evidence about ways in which Verdi's music was appropriated by expatriate Italians and the US government for cross-cultural propaganda in America and Italy it addresses the intertwining of Italian and American culture with regard to art politics and history; and investigates the ways in which the press and broadcast media helped construct a musical weapon that traversed ethnic aesthetic and temporal boundaries to make a strong political statement.

Pakistan As A Peasant Utopia The Communalization Of Class Politics In East Bengal 1920-1947

Pakistan As A Peasant Utopia The Communalization Of Class Politics In East Bengal 1920-1947

During a substantial stay in some East Bengal villages in the summer of 1971 when East Pakistan was in the traumatic process of being transformed into Bangladesh it first dawned upon me that peasants were not stupid devoid of political consciousness. Discussions with different types of peasants revealed that at least the upper echelons were aware of the implications of the liberation struggle for Bangladesh and the superpower involvement in it. Richard Nixon and Indira Gandhi were familiar names. Ordinary peasants often quoted the Bengali news readers and commentators of the BBC world service and the Voice of America. Well-to-do peasants who owned transistor radio sets regularly tuned into the British American and Indian radio stations. Many inquisitive and worried peasants asked me (then a fresh graduate from Dhaka University) how their cherished Sonar Bangla (golden Bengal) would improve their socio-economic conditions. Many peasants also took part in the liberation struggle as members of the Mukti Bahini or freedom fighters. Almost everyone with a few exceptions who collaborated with the Pakistan armed forces was a keen supporter of Bangladesh. After the emergence of Bangladesh things did not change to the expectations of the masses but rather deteriorated so much that Henry Kissinger is said to have coined the phrase ''bottomless basket as a denotation for Bangladesh because of the rampant corruption of a big section of the Bengali bourgeoisie at that time. I was provoked to write the history of the peasants' glorious role in the Liberation Struggle which was being overshadowed by claims and counter-claims of heroism and sacrifice by members of the privileged parasitical urban elites. This work may be regarded as a prelude to the history of the freedom struggle that eventually led to the creation of Bangladesh. This is an attempt to shed light on the peasant politics almost synonymous with Muslim politics in the region during the significant period between 1920 and 194 7 when East Bengal was going through the political process that culminated in the creation of East Pakistan in 194 7. | Pakistan As A Peasant Utopia The Communalization Of Class Politics In East Bengal 1920-1947

The British Folk Revival

The British Folk Revival

Almost 20 years ago Michael Brocken created from his doctoral research what became both a seminal and contested volume concerning the social mores surrounding the British Folk Revival up to that point in time: The British Folk Revival 1944–2002. In this long-overdue second edition he revisits not only his own research but also that of others from the 1990s and early 21st century. He then considers how a discourse of folkloric authenticity emerged in the closing years of the 19th century and how a worrying nationalistic immanence came to surround folk music and dance during the inter-war years. Brocken also proposes that the media: records radio and TV in post-WWII folk revivalism can offer us important insights into how self-directed learning of the folk guitar emerged. Brocken moves on to consider the business structures of the contemporary folk scene and how relationships are formed between contemporary folk business and the digital and social media spheres. In his penultimate chapter he discusses the masculinisation of folk traditions and asks important questions about how our folk traditions are carried and are authorised. In the final chapter he also considers the rise of an exciting new folk live music built environment.
