Resumen
Memory on the Air: Governmentality, Broadcasting and the Nation in Colombia (1940-1973) is a book that exposes how built various nation projects in Colombia, throughout this period, through the performative nature of the speeches and narratives broadcast by the National Radio Broadcasting Station of Colombia (RNC). The RNC not only intended to be an informational organ but was a constituent part of a series of government technologies that performed different functions in the population. These government technologies were made up of two configuration planes of the social order: the rationality of government (through the implementation of nation projects) and the conduct of conduct (based on the government management of the Colombian citizen). After exposing in chapter one the reconstruction of the media field, national projects and popular cultures in Latin America and Colombia, chapter two presents the first moment (1940-1945), which shows how, through the RNC and the official press, emphasis was placed on a nation that is “culturalized,” that is integrated into its government as a single social body and that is physiologically sanitized. and the moral. The third chapter (1946 and 1957) explains how the nation moves towards a project of national reconstruction, re-Christianization and popular integration. Finally, in chapter four (1958-1973), the national project is oriented towards development, influenced by the Alliance for Progress program. In addition to the implications that the Front National and pacification strategy to mitigate “independent republics,” development brought with it corpopolitics, a crucial strategy in which the individual body, family, and parenthood became matters of government.
