From Archibald MacLeish to David Sedaris, radio storytelling has long borrowed from the world of literature, yet the narrative radio work of well-known writers and others is a story that has not been told before. And when the literary aspects of specific programs such as The War of the Worlds or Sorry, Wrong Number were considered, scrutiny was superficial. In Lost Sound, Jeff Porter examines the vital interplay between acoustic techniques and modernist practices in the growth of radio. Concentrating on the 1930s through the 1970s, but also speaking to the rising popularity of today's narrative broadcasts such as This American Life, Radiolab, Serial, and The Organist, Porter's close readings of key radio programs show how writers adapted literary techniques to an acoustic medium with great effect. Addressing avant-garde sound poetry and experimental literature on the air, alongside industry policy and network economics, Porter identifies the ways radio challenged the conventional distinctions between highbrow and lowbrow cultural content to produce a dynamic popular culture.

Le sait-on assez ? À l’exception notable de Robbe-Grillet, qui fut pourtant le principal fédérateur et publiciste du groupe, tous les écrivains liés au Nouveau Roman ont au cours des années 1960, voire durant les deux décennies suivantes, écrit des fictions pour la radio. Certains quelques-unes (Claude Simon, Michel Butor, Nathalie Sarraute), d’autres plus d’une quinzaine (Robert Pinget, Claude Ollier). À côté d’eux, le lecteur rencontrera Beckett, précurseur atypique du Nouveau Roman, Marguerite Duras, Jean Thibaudeau, inscrit à ses débuts en 1960 dans le sillage formaliste du Nouveau Roman. Car, au-delà de la short list labellisée par le colloque de Cerisy de 1971, l’étiquette du Nouveau Roman a plus largement renvoyé à un « air du temps » expérimental du roman contemporain, respiré à l’époque par beaucoup. Autant de parcours, autant de rapports à la radio et à l’écriture audio, dont les contributeurs de cet ouvrage s’attachent à explorer les facettes, les uns sur le mode panoramique de regards d’ensemble, les autres par des études d’œuvres particulières. Certains écrivains s’inscrivent sans peine dans le moule de la « pièce radiophonique » (Beckett, Sarraute, Pinget), qu’ils utilisent surtout comme un instrument de dialogue ; les autres s’en émancipent allègrement et veulent « dresser l’oreille » de l’auditeur à l’écoute du matériau sonore, stimulant l’émergence en Allemagne du Neues Hörspiel vers 1965. Car le phénomène est international, incluant aussi la Grande-Bretagne. Quelle est la contribution propre des auteurs du Nouveau Roman, comme groupe, à l’art de la fiction radiophonique ? Que deviennent dans leurs œuvres ses idées sur la littérature, ses refus de « notions périmées » (personnage, histoire, engagement…), ses principes de réflexivité et de dénonciation des illusions du langage et de la représentation ? Au croisement de l’histoire littéraire, de l’histoire de la radio et d’une esthétique des formes et des médias, Aventures radiophoniques du Nouveau Roman dessine les parcours des uns et des autres, montre ce qui les apparente et ce qui les spécifie, explore des œuvres saluées par la presse. Tout un patrimoine de talents et de grandes productions à (re)découvrir.

"The Wireless Past chronicles the emergence of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) as a significant promotional platform and aesthetic influence for Irish modernism from the 1930s to the 1960s. This is the first book-length study of Irish literary broadcasting on the BBC and situates the works of W. B. Yeats, Elizabeth Bowen, Louis MacNeice, and Samuel Beckett in the context of the media environments that shaped their works. Drawing upon unpublished radio archives, this book shows that radio broadcasting, rather than prompting a break with literary history and traditional literary forms, in fact served as an important means for reinterpreting the legacies of oral and print traditions. In the years surrounding World War II, radio came to be seen as a catalyst for literary revivals and, simultaneously, a force for experimentation. This double valence of radio--conjoining revivalism and experimentation--creates mid-century modernism's radiogenic aesthetics"--
