Il les inscrit dans une histoire sociale de la radio et des pratiques musicales ordinaires. Ces documents permettent d’observer, du point de vue de l’audience, les effets de la commercialisation du médium radiophonique et la marchandisation de la musique. L’article montre ainsi que les lettres sont un produit commercial qui permet à l’audience d’aborder sa pratique personnelle de la musique et donnent à voir le rapport marchand qu’entretiennent auditeurs et auditrices avec leurs pratiques musicales.Cairn free access |
