A filosofia e as ondas radiofônicas

Abstract

Radio broadcasting is one of the oldest and most popular means of communication in the world, having played a remarkable role in the history of humanity. Since its first broadcasts, from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day, radio has been used as a tool for entertainment, information and education, directly impacting the culture, politics and philosophy of the society in which it operates. This research work aims to analyze the sociocultural and philosophical influences of radio broadcasts over time. To this end, a bibliographical review will be carried out on the history of radio, theories of mass communication and their epistemic implications, as well as a survey of concrete examples of how radio influenced popular culture and philosophical ideas at different historical moments. The dissertation aims to bring a broader view of the role that radio played and still plays in society, demonstrating its relevance in the formation of understandings and the construction of collective behavior. In addition, it is hoped that this philosophical essay can contribute to a critical reflection on the role of mass media in the formulation of the social body and contemporary thought.
