Art making and criticism have focused mainly on the visual media. This                  book, which originally appeared as a special issue of TDR/The Drama Review, explores                  the myriad aesthetic, cultural, and experimental possibilities of radiophony and                  sound art. Taking the approach that there is no single entity that constitutes                  "radio," but rather a multitude of radios, the essays explore various aspects of its                  apparatus, practice, forms, and utopias. The approaches include historical,                  political, popular cultural, archeological, semiotic, and feminist. Topics include                  the formal properties of radiophony, the disembodiment of the radiophonic voice,                  aesthetic implications of psychopathology, gender differences in broadcast musical                  voices and in narrative radio, erotic fantasy, and radio as an electronic memento                  mori.The book includes a new piece by Allen Weiss on the origins of sound                  recording.Contributors John Corbett, Tony Dove, Ren?
