This collection interrogates and stimulates deep,
cross-disciplinary engagement with the various understandings and
interplays of 'radio modernisms' from the early decades of the
twentieth century through to the 1950s. Academics from a range of
different disciplines explore their common interests in the
richness and heterogeneity of BBC Radio's imaginative programming -
in terms of sound; as cultural events from specific moments in
time; as team creations; as something experienced live in the
domestic context; and as cultural works that, in many cases,
attracted a certain canonical pedigree. Radio modernisms are, as
these chapters demonstrate, a combination of the particular, the
contingent, and the contextual. More than a decade after the
publication of the first scholarly works to yoke together
'modernism' and 'radio', this collection emphasises the plurality
of 'modernisms' as a defining aspect of contemporary BBC
historiography. The authors bring multiple lenses to bear -
including race, gender, and transnationalism - in order to
(re)locate twentieth-century radio programming in broad, expansive
contexts. They also underline the dynamic entanglements of radio -
and radiogenic feature programmes, in particular - with other kinds
of media and cultural forms and formats, reframing radio as a site
of and vehicle for remediation and intermediality. In examining the
myriad ways in which radio gave shape to new modernities, and both
evolved and constituted new forms of modernism, this collection
offers fresh perspectives on the interconnected significance of
'radio modernisms' within the socio-cultural, literary, and
political landscapes of twentieth-century Britain. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Media History.
