Having once been considered a ‘forgotten medium’, as Edward Pease and Everette Dennis put it (Pease and Dennis, 1995), the intervening twenty-five years have witnessed a resurgence of interest in the radio, particularly in the emerging disciplines of radio studies and sound studies. Taking radio as a focus for the study of musical modernism allows several different contemporary methodologies to be brought into conversation, from science and technology studies and actor-network theory to recent theorizations of “vernacular” or “popular” modernisms (Lacey, 2018; Nemmers, 2017) and sound studies’ concern for the political valences of listening (Radano and Olaniyan, 2016).
This conference seeks to bring together scholars from established and emerging disciplines and provide a platform for new research on radio, modernism, and technological cultures of listening more broadly, from the birth of radio to the post-war era.
We invite proposals for papers (20 minutes with 5–10 minutes for questions) and organised sessions (three thematically linked papers, totalling 90 minutes) on topics including but not limited to:
Institutional relationships between radio and musical or literary modernism;
Literary, filmic and musical representations of the radio and radio listening;
Modernist aesthetics and the technological affordances of radio;
Radio, modernism and empire, nation, region;
Radio, modernism and the high/low culture divide;
Radio, modernism and the aesthetics of sensation;
Radio as musical instrument in aleatory music and beyond.
