Radio is the most widespread electronic medium in the world today.
As a form of technology that is both durable and relatively cheap,
radio remains central to the everyday lives of billions of people
around the globe. It is used as a call for prayer in Argentina and
Appalachia, to organize political protest in Mexico and Libya, and
for wartime communication in Iraq and Afghanistan. In urban centres
it is played constantly in shopping malls, waiting rooms, and
classrooms. Yet despite its omnipresence, it remains the media form
least studied by anthropologists. Radio Fields employs ethnographic
methods to reveal the diverse domains in which radio is imagined,
deployed, and understood. Drawing on research from six continents,
the volume demonstrates how the particular capacities and practices
of radio provide singular insight into diverse social worlds,
ranging from aboriginal Australia to urban Zambia. Together, the
contributors address how radio creates distinct possibilities for
rethinking such fundamental concepts as culture, communication,
community, and collective agency.
