Abstract

ABSTRACT Whereas France owned the second most important empire in the world in 1945, the colonial domination paradoxically leaned very little on radio broadcasting. It was not until 1954 that the French governement, under the impulsion of Pierre Schaeffer, inventor of the “musique concrète,” launched a strong effort to build an overseas broadcasting network. However, that lasting endeavor took place while the French African colonies went into a phase of quick evolution toward independence. It immediately challenged the radiophonic project that colonial authorities had designed and forced French and Africans stakeholders to adapt their strategy according to the new context.

在帝国解体之际建立帝国广播网络——非殖民化期间法国撒哈拉以南非洲殖民地无线电的诞生

摘要尽管1945年法国拥有世界第二大帝国，但矛盾的是，殖民统治几乎不依赖无线电广播。直到1954年，法国政府才在“concrète音乐”的发明者皮埃尔·谢弗的推动下，大力建设海外广播网络。然而，这一持久的努力发生在法属非洲殖民地迅速走向独立的阶段。它立即挑战了殖民当局设计的无线电项目，并迫使法国和非洲的利益相关者根据新的背景调整他们的战略。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
