In a wide-ranging, cross-cultural, and transhistorical assessment,
John Mowitt examines radio's central place in the history of
twentieth-century critical theory. A communication apparatus that
was a founding technology of twentieth-century mass culture, radio
drew the attention of theoretical and philosophical writers such as
Jean-Paul Sartre, Walter Benjamin, Jacques Lacan, and Frantz Fanon,
who used it as a means to disseminate their ideas. For others, such
as Martin Heidegger, Theodor Adorno, and Raymond Williams, radio
served as an object of urgent reflection. Mowitt considers how the
radio came to matter, especially politically, to phenomenology,
existentialism, Hegelian Marxism, anticolonialism, psychoanalysis,
and cultural studies. The first systematic examination of the
relationship between philosophy and radio, this provocative work
also offers a fresh perspective on the role this technology plays
today.
