Abstract (English)

Weiss, devoting each chapter to a major work of audio art, rethinks radio, the “wireless imagination,” as a disarticulatory site of the symbolic that transforms the body, blurring distinctions between the listener and the receiver. He describes radio as a realm where ontological status is given not only to the body, but to voice, expression, and phantasms, thereby giving rise to a new politics supported by the prosthetic language of the radio. Biographical notes. Bibl. 10 p., index 2 p.
