"Cet ouvrage propose une incursion au coeur d’une radio communautaire silencieuse, mais résiliente. Mise en place par une association de femmes au début des années 2000, la station Manoore FM a subi plusieurs pannes au cours de la décennie 2010, jusqu’à cesser d’émettre en 2015. Pourtant

, la radio survit. Ses défenseurs occupent encore les lieux, bénévolement pour la plupart, tout en conservant un lien fort avec leurs auditeurs et auditrices les plus fidèles. Une enquête de terrain ethnographique menée dans les locaux de la radio nous a permis de creuser les motivations et les relations qui unissent les participants de cette « famille associative », producteurs et auditeurs, évoluant entre liens affectifs et stratégies professionnelles, au sein de leur "radio refuge."

ill these needs to an extent, and offers a fresh perspective to look at the ways community radio can be evaluated. Women’s narratives about the influence on health aspects by Henvalvani Community Radio situated in Chamba, a region of India, provided the necessary data and helped in finding the role of such participatory technologies in affecting the agency of the women. Habermas’ Theory of Communicative Action and Kleine’s Choice Framework guided the analysis. Empowerment through Communication (ETC) framework is proposed to provide a new perspective for comprehending the impact made by a community radio in influencing health seeking behavior of women. The study establishes Henvalvani Community Radio as a feminist public sphere helpful in altering the socio-cultural praxis of health communication." (Abstract)

les y de opresión política. En este proceso se articulan diferentes actores, entre ellos el movimiento de la CNTE, detonando un movimiento sui generis como fue el de la APPO en 2006, la lucha del 2016, y que dejarían su impronta hasta la fecha. La paulatina apropiación de esos medios, va sacando de las sombras una cotidianidad local y regional culturalmente densa y vital que potencia a hombres, mujeres niños y ancianos, y que se orienta a otros horizontes civilizatorios. Y va nutriendo y se va nutriendo de los movimientos sociales. Sin embargo, el patriarcado que históricamente ha determinado la sumisión de la mujer, la subordinación del espacio doméstico al espacio público, la negación de la participación de las mujeres en dicho espacio público, se hace visible también en la forma de funcionar de las radios comunitarias, con mayor énfasis en el ámbito rural que en el ámbito urbano. La mayoría de las mujeres entrevistadas, fuimos expulsadas de los propios procesos que encaminamos, expulsadas por la violencia que en esos espacios se reproduce y se controla. Espacios que, si cumplen con una función social, que están ahí siendo contestarías para otras causas, pero no para defender la vida e integridad de sus mujeres. Ocurre que mujeres que habían ya problematizado los roles de género, gracias a la influencia de maestros, al hecho de haber salido de sus comunidades, al rechazo al prototipo de mujer vivido en el hogar, se encuentran que, en las radios, que pretenden subvertir un sistema injusto, se reproducen las relaciones de género machistas. Eso no les impide seguir luchando a contracorriente en un proceso que va reconfigurando sus identidades e impactando las identidades masculinas. Al finalizar esta investigación, arribe junto a una serie de reflexiones que me hacen abrir la mirada con mayor profundidad. Iniciaré compartiendo desde una mira en perspectiva que si bien la situación de las mujeres en los medios de comunicación se presenta como un objeto estereotipado y cubriendo las cuotas de género que se exige en la sociedad."

Die Empfangsgeräte sind zugleich Sender, die das Radio ganz im Sinne Brechts als partizipatives Medium auch für jene öffnet, die keine schriftlichen Eingaben machen und keine Protestschreiben verschicken können. Ein Community Radio ist freilich nicht schon per se emanzipatorisch, und nicht jeder Freie Sender hat antirassistische und antisexistische Sprachregelungen in den Statuten stehen. Wann also ist die Aneignung von Kommunikation ein emanzipatorischer Akt? In unserem Dossier fragen wir außerdem: Welche Relevanz hat das Radiomachen heute für die Wahrnehmung des Rechtes auf freie Kommunikation? Sind Freie Radios und Piratensender ein Auslaufmodell, oder sind sie eine Avantgarde?" (Editorial)

Voluntary organizations, civic groups, NGOs, Women’s groups/organizations, etc. are now entering into broadcasting to share, express, empower, give voice, to many communities to benefit them with the broadcast. In community radio the public are voluntarily participating and producing programmes for themselves for their own benefit. CR plays an important role in the lives of women as it creates awareness, provides information and education, improves their skills and on the whole it promotes social, cultural, political and economic development or empowerment of women. Many studies have proved that community radio is an instrument of power in changing the lives of women." (Abstract)

cilities. The analysis focuses on various levels of women‘s participation as listeners, programmers and managers in community media. Methods used in the study include key informant interviews, semi-structured interviews, and observation. Community radio creates interest among women listeners in communities by using local content in local languages as well as providing opportunities for women to be involved with local media. The study finds however, that women are not participating at a level where they can manage communication processes or use their own knowledge and resources. The study concludes that in order to sustain community media, women need to be recognized and involved as an important part of the community. This study supports that women want to own their communication processes through developing their capacity in community radio." (Abstract)

The first part of this study examines the situation. The second part of the study focuses on the debate on the right to communicate in the 20th and 21st century, which reached a peak in 1980 with the publication of the MacBride report, and provides an overview of important organisations in the field of media. The third part looks at different definitions of community and alternative media and highlights the differences between them and state-owned, public, and commercial media. It also provides a closer look at the media landscape of the regions under review, Central America and southern Africa. The fourth and final part shows examples of strategies individual women and women’s organisations use to spread their messages through the media and achieve social change." (Introduction)

o’s revolutionary potential for development and progressive social change. The findings show that women’s community radio has emerged as a response to women’s marginalization in both mainstream media and in alternative community media, as well as to women’s need to have their own communication means. The findings reveal that Gindiku FM is an outstanding model of a women’s community radio station that has successfully articulated gender and participatory communication to empower rural and poor women living in a context dominated by a Sufy Islamic Order. The findings show that three key factors have contributed to the success of Gindiku FM. The first factor is a clear commitment to integrating a gender perspective in all of their actions and therefore to question gender-based discrimination and marginalization. The second factor is the set-up of a network of 60 rural women reporters and 60 listening groups, in as many villages, as a scheme to ensure women’s inclusion and participation in the radio station. The third factor is the implementation of gendered programming targeting inequality, social injustices, and women’s subordination. The findings of this study indicate that Gindiku FM has produced changes both at individual and community levels. Women have been empowered technically, culturally and socially. The traditional image of a silenced woman, lacking agency and self-esteem, is fading for a new one that is more vocal, dynamic and less entrenched in traditional and patriarchal values. Therefore, Gindiku FM has emerged as a powerful model that can inspire women’s media activists, as well as donors willing to support initiatives in gender and communication for development."

En esta guía no trataremos el aspecto técnico de cómo funciona o se equipa una radio, que aunque vemos importante y necesario conocer, y sobre todo que más mujeres participen en estos trabajos creemos que un primer buen paso es enfocarse en la producción para tener una base firme, establecer un grupo de trabajo y una rutina de producción, y así en muy poquito tiempo y con recursos mínimos comenzar a sacar sus voces al aire."
