Broadcasting in the Portuguese Empire: Nationalism, Colonialism, Identity

Project Details

Description

Throughout most of the 20th century, radio broadcasting took on a central role in the construction of national and imperial identities, as it was the main source of news and popular culture available to the majority of the population.

This project aims to add complexity to the scholarship on Media & Empire by producing a comprehensive and comparative history of broadcasting during the Portuguese dictatorship, discussing how the regime lead by António de Oliveira Salazar used radio as a communication tool.

The project is financed by FCT and the European Union (via Lisbon 2020).
