Changing Cultural Coordinates: The Transistor Radio and Space / Time / Identity

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

    Abstract

    In the decade after 1955, the ways in which it was possible to experience listening to radio were transformed in the United States of America: radio, and music listening, would never be the same again. For consumers these shifts were to be found in both when and where people were able to listen, but also in the very sense of how they understood themselves as listeners. In this chapter we explore the ways in which temporal, spatial and identity ?reconfigurations? of listeners? experiences of radio relate to the profound changes in the devices that reproduced the programs for those listeners, in the programs themselves, and in who provided them.
