  • Anne Karpf/The Sound of Home? Some Thoughts on How the Radio Voice Anchors, Contains and Sometimes Pierces (Pre-Print Version; Published in The
    1 Anne Karpf/The sound of home? Some thoughts on how the radio voice anchors, contains and sometimes pierces (pre-print version; published in The Radio Journal, vol.11, no.1, April 2013, pp.59-73) Abstract This article argues that while psychoanalytic theory has been valuably employed by television, film and cultural studies, there has been no comparable 'psychoanalytic turn' in radio studies. It suggests that the concept of 'containment', as developed variously by Wilfred Bion and Esther Bick, might go some way to explain the powerful role that the voice of the radio presenter can play in the regular listener's internal world, with the capacity both to 'hold' the listener together, and to transform overwhelming fears into more manageable feelings. It argues that the disembodied radio voice does this partly because it recalls the prenatal power of the maternal voice, and partly through the temporal order that regular radio voices impose on the internal and external world. Both Second World War British radio catchphrases and Roosevelt's Fireside Chats are discussed in relation to their containment function. The article also explores the radio as a transitional space, as defined by Donald Winnicott, through which it can constitute listeners into an 'imagined community'. It ends by reflecting on the impact of the angry voice of 2 the 'shock-jock' which, it suggests, amplifies rather than contains overwhelming feelings.1 Contributor's details Anne Karpf is Reader in Professional Writing and Cultural Inquiry at London Metropolitan University. A journalist, broadcaster and radio critic of The Guardian for seven years, her books include 'The Human Voice' (Bloomsbury, 2006; Ehrenwirth, 2007; Autrement, 2008; Soshisha, 2008).

  • Other People's Pain: Trauma and Testimony in Australian Museums
    Other People’s Pain: trauma and testimony in Australian museums Joanna Ruth Besley Bachelor of Design Studies A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2018 School of Social Science Abstract This thesis examines how testimony has emerged as a key strategy for representing and interpreting the past in contemporary museums, particularly in the context of traumatic histories. When testimony appears in exhibitions, personal trauma becomes public memory. The thesis asks of this transformation: how, why and with what effects? Through three case studies, the thesis explores how traumatic testimony is curated and encountered in exhibitions. In deploying testimony, museums seek not only to give recognition to those who have experienced traumatic pasts and advance human rights claims, but also to solicit empathic, ethical response and action on the part of audiences. Now positioned as witnesses to traumatic testimony, museum visitors are challenged to feel, acknowledge and take responsibility for the suffering of others. Empathy is widely accepted to be the vehicle through which this takes place. My research critically examines the social, political and ethical consequences of these new museological strategies and claims. As such, its aims are twofold. Firstly, the research contributes to a critical examination of contemporary museum practice, highlighting how some contemporary museums, in taking on the responsibility of “working through” traumatic histories, are intervening in issues with high political, ethical and social stakes and positioning themselves as agents of social inclusion and advocacy, even activism. Secondly, it aims to make a theoretical contribution about how testimony impacts upon the ways that museums shape and consolidate collective narratives and understandings of the past, especially regarding contested or suppressed histories.

  • Simonelli on Hendy, 'Life on Air: a History of Radio Four'
    H-Albion Simonelli on Hendy, 'Life on Air: A History of Radio Four' Review published on Friday, January 28, 2011 David Hendy. Life on Air: A History of Radio Four. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2007. Illustrations. ix + 518 pp. $55.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-19-924881-0. Reviewed by David Simonelli (Youngstown State University) Published on H-Albion (January, 2011) Commissioned by Thomas Hajkowski David Hendy’s introduction opens with a pair of extreme vignettes that aptly capture the nature of the Radio Four audience. In May 1988, an elderly woman strode into Broadcasting House and opened fire with a pistol full of blanks when she could not receive Radio Four in Blackpool; more tragically, a vicar in Surrey beat his wife to death with his radio when he objected to someone’s musical tastes as broadcast on the program Desert Island Discs. As a loyal National Public Radio (NPR) listener, one sniffs at the idea that NPR could elicit the same response, no matter how demented the listener might be. To my knowledge, there is no true equivalent in any other Western nation-state’s culture to match the role that Radio Four plays in Britain. The founder of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Sir John Reith, declared that the entire service had a mission “to inform, to educate, and to entertain” (p. 400). In post-Victorian terms, Reith’s idea was to improve people through listening and get them to like the effort. While other branches of BBC radio and television have drifted off to serve each single aspect of that mandate, only Radio Four has kept a true balance between information, education, and entertainment.

  • A Prayer on the Anniversary of the First Moon Landing
    The Church of England is marking the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing with the publication of a special prayer, as events take place around the world to celebrate the event. The prayer, which is being shared on social media, speaks of man’s drive to “explore the mysteries of creation” and the need to cherish our world. Churches and cathedrals across England are marking the anniversary with special events. At Lichfield Cathedral, One Small Step, a 36 metre artwork replica of the lunar surface opens on Saturday morning – the anniversary of the landing - giving visitors the chance to ‘walk on the moon’ until the end of September. Also on Saturday, Birmingham Cathedral is hosting two showings of ‘Interstellar’, an immersive sound and light show celebrating the moon landing. The Bishop of Kingston, Richard Cheetham, who is a Co-Director of Equipping Christian Leadership in an Age of Science, a project to promote greater understanding between science and faith, encouraged churches to use the anniversary of the moon landing as an opportunity for prayer and reflection. “After decades of space travel, including the iconic moon landing 50 years ago, we are more aware than ever of the vastness and complexity of the cosmos,” he said. “Living, as we do, in a scientific age it is vital that our understanding and practice of Christian faith celebrates and engages deeply with the huge potential which science brings to our understanding of the universe, and ensures it is used wisely. “The Equipping Christian leadership in an Age of Science project has sought to help the church to do that in many ways.
