1. In what ways is radio successful in effecting nostalgia and mediating kinship?<\/p>\n
2. How does Aboriginal radio facilitate social media by linking distinct phenomena e.g. kinship, expressive language, music and remote communities together?<\/p>\n
Main points<\/p>\n
-Fisher discusses the performative, mediated interweaving of speech, song, & kinship on Aboriginal radio broadcasts in Northern Australia.<\/p>\n
-He\u00a0focuses specifically on increasingly popular radio request programs, which have emerged from the activist drives of Indigenous media producers, and invariably involve “shout outs” by callers to close and extended kin. These request programs\u00a0developed as a means for connecting prison inmates to their families and communities; they are the intersection between a history of Aboriginal incarceration, the dispersal of kin networks, and the expressive idiom of radio requests.<\/p>\n
