Cold War Civil Defence in Western Europe : Sociotechnical Imaginaries of Survival and Preparedness
- 2022
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This open access edited collection brings together established and new perspectives on Cold War civil defence in Western Europe within a common analytical framework that also facilitates comparative and transnational dimensions. The current interest in creating disaster-resilient societies demands new histories of civil defence. Historical contextualization is essential in order to understand what is at stake in preparing, devising, and implementing forms of preparedness, protection, and security that are specifically targeted at societies and citizens. Applying the concept of sociotechnical imaginaries to civil defence history, the chapters of this volume cover a range of new themes, from technology and materiality to media, memory, and everyday experience. The book underlines the social embeddedness of civil defence by detailing how it both prompted new forms of social interaction and reflected norms and visions of the ‘good society’ in an age where nuclear technology seemed to hold the key to both doom and salvation.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- On October 2, 1990, the ominous message above marked the end of a radio station with a global reach. For the very last time, Radio Berlin International ’s (RBI) tuning signal—the first eight notes of the GDR national anthem , “Auferstanden aus Ruinen”—sounded on the airwaves. This occurred in the context of the fundamental remapping of the European continent that took place between 1989 and 1991. The city of Berlin was at the heart of these changes, with the wall that separated Germans symbolically and physically torn down on November 9, 1989, making it possible for East and West Berliners to meet for the first time in decades. Although it was a moment of peaceful revolution, the autumn of 1989 was also a turbulent time for the GDR, not least for the country’s governing Communist Party, the Socialist Unity Party (Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands, or SED). Other aspects of East German society, among them the media, also found themselves in between scripts. How were the new realities to be described, depicted, and made sense of in public life? The aim of this chapter is not to once again tell the story of the political 1989 but to approach the peaceful revolution and Europe’s remapping from the perspective of international radio and its audiences. It focuses on the East German broadcaster RBI and its Swedish-language broadcasts, relying on written manuscripts from the German Broadcasting Archive (Deutsche Rundfunkarchiv [DRA]) in Potsdam-Babelsberg. Through the manuscripts Radio Berlin International (RBI) and Its Swedish Audience in November 1989. This broadcast comes to you from Radio Berlin International— the voice of the disappearing German Democratic Republic. Radio Berlin International, October 2, 1990 140 Remapping Cold War Media of the broadcasts from August through December 1989, we can approach the turbulence of this moment from a new angle, revealing some of the predicaments that RBI hosts encountered when trying to combine the old script of socialist state propaganda with a sensitivity to the unexpected and unprecedented events occurring both in the world and at home. In particular, the program The Letterbox (Briefkasten/Brevlådan), which consisted of letters to the Swedish studio in Berlin, testifies to how, even before the Berlin Wall crumbled, RBI hosts challenged the standard procedures of state-socialist broadcasting and sounded notes of disapproval of the SED government— soft at first, but with an increasingly critical tone. Within just a couple of weeks, a new RBI script was in the making—and from a distance, Swedes were listening and commenting on it. International Broadcasting during the Cold War. East German RBI was one of the most prominent international radio stations in the former Eastern Bloc. Officially founded on May 20, 1959 (although broadcasts in German, English, and French had already been introduced in 1956), it was situated within the GDR state radio station Rundfunk der DDR (1952–1991). From the fourth floor of the majestic Funkhaus Nalepastraße in East Berlin, the RBI shortwave signal went to powerful transmitters in Nauen, Königs Wusterhausen, and Leipzig, from which it was sent out to the world. In November 1989, RBI broadcast in eleven different languages: German, English, French, Swedish, Danish, Italian, Hindi, Arabic, Swahili, Portuguese, and Spanish. It is difficult to estimate the number of listeners, but according to one source, fifty-four million people around the world were tuning into RBI’s broadcasts by the 1980s. Most often, RBI staff seem to have been either foreign-born members of communist parties now living in Berlin or East German journalists, editors, teachers, or translators. RBI fell under the GDR’s central authority for broadcasting activity, the State Radio Committee (Staatliches Komitee für Rundfunk). As one party official put it in the early 1960s, the committee’s mandate was to use “radio and television [to] aid the construction and victory of socialism . . . by means of ideological and educational broadcasts from the main centers of the republic.” This dissemination was to extend beyond the borders of the GDR: shortwave radio was seen as a powerful tool for reaching audiences in Africa, Asia, and on the other side of the Iron Curtain, and for informing these foreign audiences about East Germany. RBI’s main content was thus news and information about the GDR; however, light entertainment such as East German (and later, even Western) pop music was a common feature of the broadcasts, showing global...

Framtidskompasser : En akademisk tankesmedja tar ut riktningar
- 2024
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Hur formar vi framtiden och hur lär vi oss av historien? Vilken roll spelar konsten i ett framtida samhälle, hur fungerar framsynthet inom ekonomi och juridik, och hur kan framtidens komplexa forskningsresultat förmedlas och spridas till samhället utanför akademin?LU Futura var Lunds universitets tvärvetenskapliga tankesmedja för framtidsfrågor 2018-2021. Framtidskompasser är projektets slutpunkt, där deltagarna diskuterar framtidsfrågor inom sina specialområden. Essäerna handlar bland annat om våra växande avfallsberg, om vad beredskapen under kalla kriget kan lära oss i dagens krigsdiskussioner, om hur mänsklig hälsa förhåller sig till planetens välmående – och inte minst om vilka förhoppningar och farhågor dagens studentgeneration hyser inför framtiden.
