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

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.

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
