XVIII - julio 2015 QUADERNS ISSN (electrónico): 2014-2242 / www.cac.cat DEL CAC Presentación Presentamos una nueva edición de Quaderns del CAC con la voluntad renovada de seguir profundizando en el nivel de impacto de la revista, por lo que recuperamos la edición en lengua inglesa, que se suma a las ediciones en lengua catalana y castellana. En este número 41 hemos querido acercarnos a la realidad de la radio y a los desafíos que afronta en un momento de reconfiguración del ecosistema comunicativo. La radio es un medio que jugó un papel protagonista en el sistema comunicativo del siglo XX. Su emergencia supuso la democratización del acceso a la información y la cultura de una magnitud sin precedentes. Su naturaleza acústica le permitió comunicarse en un código franco para todos los hablantes de cada lengua y, como consecuencia, millones de ciudadanos de todo el mundo, analfabetos o con bajos niveles de alfabetización, pudieron acceder a la información y a la cultura, un acceso que no tenían con los medios de matriz impresa. Toda una revolución. Su reinado en el universo de la comunicación de masas fue indiscutible. Jugó un rol central en la constitución de los estados modernos, como herramienta cultural y educativa, pero también como instrumento político e incluso como arma de guerra. Su aportación a la creación de la opinión pública, a la cohesión social y a la consecución del consenso fue capital. En la vertiente democratizadora también fue una herramienta que permitió experiencias de comunicación popular: las radios libres, comunitarias y municipales permitieron procesos de comunicación que hoy describiríamos como auténticas experiencias de empoderamiento popular de la tecnología. Pese a los competidores que le han ido saliendo en el universo electrónico primero (la televisión) y en el universo digital después (las redes), la radio ha sabido adaptarse y encontrar su lugar en cada nuevo ecosistema. Lo hizo ante las innovaciones del siglo XX y lo está haciendo decididamente ante las del siglo XXI. En este número hemos querido acercarnos a la realidad de un medio que está mostrando un alto dinamismo y sigue teniendo un lugar destacado en el ecosistema comunicativo. Para empezar, el autor invitado ha sido escogido para conectar con una de las características de la radio que anticipó en la práctica una de las señas de identidad más destacadas de las comunicaciones digitales: la participación de los ciudadanos en la producción de contenidos. Nadie mejor que Peter Lewis, Senior Lecturer en la London Metropolitan University, el investigador internacional de referencia en medios comunitarios, para abordar este tema con perspectiva histórica, como lo hace en su artículo Ausencia de discurso: el caso de la radio comunitaria. Abren el monográfico Josep Maria Martí, Belén Monclús, Maria Gutiérrez y Xavier Ribes con La radio, modelo de negocio en transición: estrategias de oferta y de comercialización en el contexto digital, que trata un tema central en el proceso de adaptación de la radio al nuevo escenario mediático como es la búsqueda del nuevo modelo de negocio, en un contexto de crisis en el que las inversiones publicitarias han caído a pesar del crecimiento de las audiencias, y explora las estrategias de los radiodifusores para incorporar los soportes en línea en el nuevo modelo de negocio. Tiziano Bonini aborda precisamente uno de los fenómenos más relevantes de este nuevo entorno en línea en La “segunda era” del podcasting: el podcasting como nuevo medio de comunicación de masas digital, que se centra en la evolución de esta nueva herramienta de radiodifusión del amateurismo a la profesionalización y en su destacada capacidad de engagement. Teresa Piñeiro- Otero explora la adaptación de la radio de proximidad en internet en La mediamorfosi de la radio local. Una perspectiva desde el contexto de la Eurorregión Galicia-Norte de Portugal, donde examina las prácticas, comparativamente en dos mercados, para observar el grado de apropiación de la web, la adaptación de estas prácticas en el ámbito local, el nivel de interactividad y potenciación de la participación, así como los aspectos formales de los mensajes.

Best known for his versatile voice, intense lyrical narratives and dexterity on the acoustic twelve-string guitar, he has been called “one of the most gifted songwriters of his generation” by ABC News and in 1995 named “Male vocalist of the year” by Rolling Stone. Phillips, a Stockton, CA native, founded the seminal LA band Shiva Burlesque with vocalist and childhood friend Jeffery Clark (Nevada City local and owner of The Magic Theatre). After releasing two albums the band broke up in 1990 and Phillips went on to form Grant Lee Buffalo. Grant Lee Buffalo released four recordings on Slash/Warner Bros. in addition to various soundtracks, live releases, and a box set retrospective. The endorsement of some of music’s biggest bands, REM, Pearl Jam and The Smashing Pumpkins (all of whom the group toured with) helped to fuel the band’s popularity.

Abstract “The Lonely Nineties” provides a close reading of six popular series on primetime American television in the 1990s, setting their depictions of community within the context of late 20th century problems and developments in civic disengagement. This dissertation examines Seinfeld, N.Y.P.D. Blue, Law & Order, The X-Files, Touched by an Angel, and The Simpsons within their respective genres, revealing what makes nineties television distinctive, and connecting those distinctions to related developments in American social and cultural history. In the final decade when the medium still offered regularly a simultaneous experience of mass culture, television imagined communities in various states of fragmentation just as America, itself, was grappling with a fragmented age.
