دانلود کتاب دنیای بی سیم – تاریخچه جهانی پخش رادیویی بین المللی

This book deepens and revises our understanding of global histories of international broadcasting. It explores the idea of a ‘wireless world’, a globe connected, both in imagination and reality, by radio. It examines the extent and limitations of these transnational connections, how their nature and impact varied from place to place, and how they changed over time. It seeks to bring together more traditional accounts, which focus on states and broadcasting organizations and often take the form of institutional and international histories, with new approaches that draw inspiration from the history of technology, media history, cultural history, global and transnational history, and the study of soundscapes. The book has been co-written to allow coverage of a wide range of key themes and significant case studies: the authors have shared their expertise and access to original primary source material with one another. The chapters examine broadcasters and listeners in different countries and cover the entire twentieth century, while also keeping an eye on the first two decades of the twenty-first century, and on the future of international broadcasting. The book is the product of five years of collaboration. By working together, the authors have sought to transcend the conceptual, linguistic, and archival boundaries which have, perhaps paradoxically, rendered many previous histories of international broadcasting essentially national in focus.
