Transnational Radio Conference 2018

ARCHIVE

The Radio conference 2018 lands in Prato, Italy. Organized by Monash University and hosted in its Monash Arts Centre in Prato, from July 10th to July 13th, the conference will gather scholars from all over the world to discuss and present their rearches on the sate of the art in radio studies.

 

And Radio Papesse is very happy to live stream selected panels form the conference.

 

The conference takes inspiration from its location in Italy and the Libertà d'antenna ‘Free Radio’ movement of the 1970s through which civil society and commercial organisations pushed for greater access to the media and forced an end to the state’s broadcasting monopoly. At the height of the movement, in mid-1978, more than 2000 independent radio stations were on air, making Italy the world leader in stations per capita. The movement not only freed up the Italian broadcasting landscape so new voices from across the political spectrum could be heard, but some stations also actively sought to break radio free from its established aesthetic through experiments in production technology, style and form.

Drawing on the theme of ‘Free Radio’ the conference will feature papers reporting on a range of radio and audio media research, including studies investigating: production and aesthetics, community radio, public service and policy, commercial industries, technology and innovation, podcasting and webstreaming, sound and radio history, education and training, storytelling and narrative, art and creative practice, radio & audio media translation...and a whole lot more.
