Covering radio works from the 1950s until the 2010s, the collection charts how artists across the UK, Europe and North America continued as well as reacted to the legacies of the historical avant-garde and modernism, operating within different national broadcasting contexts, by placing radio in an intermedial dialogue with prose, poetry, theatre, music and film. In doing so, the volume explores a wide variety of acoustic genres – radio play, feature, electroacoustic music, radiophonic poem, radio opera – to show that the medium deserves to occupy a more central place than it currently does in studies of literature, (inter)media(lity) and the (neo-)avant-garde.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I: The poetics of the radiophonic neo-avant-garde\u003cbr\u003e1 Transnational, untranslatable: Apollinaire in Freddy de Vree’s multilingual radiophonic composition \u003ci\u003eA Pollen in the Air\u003c\/i\u003e – Lars Bernaerts\u003cbr\u003e2 Radiophonic art and electroacoustic music: an aesthetic controversy during the establishment of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and the radiophonic poem \u003ci\u003ePrivate Dreams and Public Nightmares\u003c\/i\u003e – Tatiana Eichenberger\u003cbr\u003e3 A forefront in the aftermath?
