SUMMARY:Building Empires on Air: Histories and Geopolitics of Radio and Empire
DESCRIPTION:Building Empires on Air:\nHistories and Geopolitics of Radio and Empire\nMoore Institute \nNational University of Ireland\, Galway \n9am-6pm\, 1 April 2011 \nPart of the Texts\, Contexts\, Cultures research programme. \nSupported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. \nThis workshop will compare scholarly approaches to histories of radio and empire\, in \na broad transnational and geopolitical context. Key questions to be considered \ninclude: \n– How have transnational broadcasters sought to influence society\, politics\, \nand culture in target areas\, at different times and in different settings? \nWhat comparisons and contrasts can usefully be drawn? \n– How might concepts of (soft) power\, territory\, sovereignty and transnationality \ncontribute to critical interdisciplinary engagements with \ninternational broadcasting within historical and contemporary ‰Û÷empires’? \n– What are the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches to the study \nof radio and empire? What is the place of institutional history? How do we \ntackle the cultural history of broadcasting and empire\, and the issue of \naudience reception? \n– How useful are older models of ‰Û÷media imperialism’\, and new ideas about \n‰Û÷cultural diplomacy’ and ‰Û÷globalisation’\, as tools of scholarly analysis? \n– How far have institutions with responsibilities for both domestic and \nexternal broadcasting been reshaped by their overseas obligations? \n– What light do different disciplinary perspectives have to shed on these \ntopics? \nThere is no charge for registration\, but if you would like to attend please email \nSimon Potter (simon.potter@nuigalway.ie) in advance. \nThis event is part of the wider ‰Û÷Texts Contexts Cultures’ research project funded by \nthe Government of Ireland PRTLI scheme and the Andrew W.
