摘要

如何利用声音作为政治觉悟的工具?COVID-19破坏了全球进步运动的面对面组织策略，因此有必要扩展到更具中介性的基层政治组织形式。在这篇文章中，我们探讨了在结构层面的危机和腐败背景下，如何利用声音来唤起一个跨越种族、性别和代际鸿沟的想象中的工人阶级社区。通过仔细聆听南非广播剧《资本王和科罗娜王后时代的瘟疫》(KKQC)，我们发现声音的使用使世界的构建既适应了结构性的不平等，又想象了一个乌托邦式的、团结的工人阶级社区。KKQC提供了一个通过广播剧构建世界和政治意识的案例，这与理解这种类型在当代南非背景下的可能性有关。

Radio drama as a tool for activism in South Africa: The case of Plague in the Time of King Kapital and Queen Corona

How can sound be utilized as a tool for political conscientization? COVID-19 has disrupted face-to-face organizing tactics for progressive movements globally, making it necessary to branch out to more mediated forms of grassroots political organizing. In this article, we explore how sound might be employed to invoke an imagined working-class community across ethnic, gender and generational divides against a backdrop of crisis and corruption on the structural level. Through a close listening of a South African radio drama, Plague in the Time of King Kapital and Queen Corona (KKQC), we find that the use of sound enables a worldmaking that is both attuned to structural inequities and imagines a utopian, solidaristic working-class community. KKQC offers a case of worldbuilding and political conscientization through radio drama that is relevant to understanding the possibilities of the genre in the contemporary South African context.

期刊介绍： Radio Journal publishes critical analyses of radio and sound media across a variety of platforms, from broadcast to podcast and all in between. Articles focus on both historical and contemporary issues in sound-based journalism and media studies. We look for work that explores the production, circulation and reception of radio and creative soundwork, and encourage a wide range of international and interdisciplinary perspectives. Radio Journal welcomes scholarship from early career researchers as well as internationally renowned scholars. It also publishes reviews of recent publications in the field of radio and sound studies. Radio Journal is edited from the US and Australia and has an international scope. It is a refereed publication; all research articles undergo rigorous double-blind peer review. The editors will review other contributions. The process normally takes three months to complete.
