De la contraportada

From the postwar period on, radio has functioned as an important site of artistic experimentation, particularly through the form of the radio play and related acoustic genres. The ‘neo-avant-garde’ has demonstrated a strong and enduring interest in aural media, rooted in an appreciation of the seemingly autonomous power of sound and voice.

This is the first in-depth study of radio’s significance for the neo-avant-garde. Examining a wide range of artists and writers from across Europe and North America, itlooks closely at how they have explored the creative possibilities of radio and the semiotics of auditive storytelling through electro-acoustic manipulation, stereophonic positioning, montage and mixing. At the same time, it probes the question of how they have experimented in related genres and media such as music, sound poetry and theatre. The book also reflects on intermedial and material issues, analysing how they have impacted artistic production in different parts of the world.

Featuring chapters on Ernst Jandl and Friederike Mayröcker (Austria), Åke Hodell (Sweden), Glenn Gould (Canada), Caryl Churchill (UK) and more, Tuning in to the neo-avant-gardeis essential reading for students and scholars working in the fields of radio, literature and theatre, media studies and intermediality.
