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 centers 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. 606 $aCommunication in anthropology$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aRadio$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aCommunication and culture$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aTechnology$xAnthropological aspects 615 0$aCommunication in anthropology$xHistory 615 0$aRadio$xHistory 615 0$aCommunication and culture$xHistory 615 0$aTechnology$xAnthropological aspects. 676 $a070.194 701 $aBessire$b Lucas$01660625 701 $aFisher$b Daniel$01660626 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910806202403321 996 $aRadio fields$94190662 997 $aUNINA
