Abstract

Abstract:Radio Tunis's The Hebrew Hour (1939–56) was the first and longest running Jewish radio program in North Africa. From its debut just before World War II and through its final broadcasts just after Tunisian independence, its announcer Félix Allouche, a Zionist activist and journalist, brought together a diverse range of personalities, subject matter, political preferences, and musical repertoires in a single, multi-lingual forum. In this article, I demonstrate that, unlike the printed press, the radio allowed for such convergence due to its aural quality. In doing so, I reconsider the seemingly divergent ideological trajectories of Tunisian Jewry between the interwar and postwar periods while also treating the consequences of the program's drift toward Zionism after 1948. Finally, by conceiving of early- to mid-twentieth century Jewish radio in global terms and Arab radio beyond the framework of resistance, I suggest that new models are needed for both.

突尼斯电台的《希伯来语一小时》（1939–56）：微观历史

摘要：突尼斯电台的《希伯来语一小时》（1939–56）是北非第一个也是播出时间最长的犹太广播节目。从第二次世界大战前的首次亮相到突尼斯独立后的最后一次广播，其播音员、犹太复国主义活动家和记者费利克斯·阿洛切在一个多语言的单一论坛上汇集了各种各样的人物、主题、政治偏好和音乐曲目。在这篇文章中，我证明了，与印刷媒体不同，无线电由于其听觉质量而允许这种收敛。在这样做的过程中，我重新考虑了突尼斯犹太人在两次世界大战和战后时期看似不同的意识形态轨迹，同时也处理了1948年后该计划转向犹太复国主义的后果。最后，通过设想20世纪初至中期的全球犹太广播和抵抗框架之外的阿拉伯广播，我认为两者都需要新的模式。

期刊介绍： Jewish Social Studies recognizes the increasingly fluid methodological and disciplinary boundaries within the humanities and is particularly interested both in exploring different approaches to Jewish history and in critical inquiry into the concepts and theoretical stances that underpin its problematics. It publishes specific case studies, engages in theoretical discussion, and advances the understanding of Jewish life as well as the multifaceted narratives that constitute its historiography.
