A gripping essay on the role that Italian intellectuals played in the organization and scheduling of Swiss public radio between the Fascist period and the so-called Anni di Piombo (Years of Lead). The book What was the role of Italian intellectuals in the history of Swiss radio broadcasting culture? And what images of Switzerland and Italy were conveyed between 1930 and 1980?Ever since it began in the 1930s, Italian-language Swiss radio, a national public service broadcaster addressed to a linguistic minority, drew from intellectual resources external to its own political borders, a characteristic that contributed to defining its profile. During the Fascist period, for example, Italian intellectuals could express themselves from the microphones of this radio with a freedom that they were not allowed in their home country: Benedetto Croce's 1936 speech is a memorable case in point. Subse-quently, when the interview and debate formats tended to undermine that of the radio lecture, journalists and writers such as Pier Paolo Pasolini and Eugenio Montale took advantage of the debating space that Swiss Italy offered them. By analysing the written and audio sources, many of which unpublished, Nelly Valsangiacomo's essay reconstructs a complex as well as fascinating radio broadcasting panorama, brought to life by the voices of some of the greatest Italian intellectuals, such as Elio Vittorini, Maria Corti, Indro Montanelli, and Dario Fo. (Radiotelevisione svizzera di lingua italiana/Italian-language Swiss Radio and Television) . Qual è stato il ruolo degli intellettuali italiani nella storia della cultura radiofonica svizzera? E quali immagini della Svizzera e dell'Italia sono state veicolate tra il 1930 e il 1980?Fin dai suoi esordi negli anni Trenta, la Radio svizzera di lingua italiana, emittente nazionale di servizio pubblico rivolta a una minoranza linguistica, attinse a risorse intellettuali esterne alle proprie frontiere politiche, caratteristica che contribuì a definirne il profilo. Durante il ventennio fascista, ad esempio, gli intellettuali italiani poterono esprimersi ai microfoni di questa radio con una libertà che in Patria non si sarebbero concessi: memorabile in tal senso il discorso di Benedetto Croce del 1936. In seguito, quando le forme dell'intervista e del dibatti-to tenderanno a scalzare quella della conferenza radiofonica, saranno giornalisti e scrittori come Pier Paolo Pasolini o Eugenio Montale ad approfittare di quello spazio di confronto che la Svizzera italiana offriva loro.Attraverso l'analisi delle fonti scritte e sonore, molte delle quali inedite, il saggio di Nelly Va-lsangiacomo ricostruisce un panorama radiofonico complesso e affascinante, animato dalle voci di alcuni tra i più grandi intellettuali italiani, come Elio Vittorini, Maria Corti, Indro Montanelli e Dario Fo.

Figure dominante du monde culturel actuel, l'intellectuel·le médiatique a mauvaise réputation. Capable de parler de tout sans être spécialiste de rien, il ou elle occupe les studios de radio pour y déverser un discours souvent déférent envers toutes formes de pouvoir et acritique face aux idées reçues.Cette figure récente est le résultat d'une longue histoire. En effet, les intellectuel·le·s ont entretenu dès ses débuts une relation difficile avec la radio, faite d’intérêt et de scepticisme, d’enthousiasme et de crainte. Cette relation se reconfigure tout au long du XXe siècle, en fonction à la fois de l’évolution des pratiques radiophoniques et des redéfinitions du rôle des femmes et des hommes de culture dans la société.Ce livre pointe quelques-unes des étapes de cette reconfiguration, en s’interrogeant sur l’influence réciproque entre les acteurs intellectuels et le vecteur radiophonique, dans le monde francophone, durant une période qui couvre presque un siècle
