64. Listening For Emotions

The Academic Citizen

In this episode, we take a journey through time to explore radio archives from the colonial era. Presented by Luc Marraffa, a PhD candidate at the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis at the University of Amsterdam, this episode focuses on the histories that have been erased from radio records. It examines these narratives through the interdisciplinary lenses of sound studies, critical archive studies, and decolonial approaches. By revisiting these colonial radio archives, this episode encourages us to rethink how we engage with archives, urging us to carefully uncover and give voice to unheard and non-verbal cues. Come with us.
