Múzeum krt 6-8., HUNGARY

We invite scholars of radio drama studies and related fields, and 
practitioners, to contribute to the European Symposium of the History of 
Audio Drama, held in Budapest, Hungary.

The genre of radio drama has many names, including podcast fiction, 
scripted audio fiction, radio theater, or radio play and includs genres 
such as ars acustica, radio / audio feature or documentary play. The 
acces to these works are significantly more limited than of any other 
literary/media production. After a recent low, with the popularity of 
podcasts, audio dramas now again play an important role in our acustic 
media ecosystem. With this, old, long time not aired pieces are 
rediscovered and newly built online databases enable us to have an 
overview of the corpus of past audio drama productions. However, since 
the genre is language-locked, each country has different pathways in the 
preservation, rediscovery and production and exchange of audio dramas, 
from original productions to adaptations. The goal of this symposium is 
to inspire discussion between scholars and producers of radio dramas to 
have an overview of these national pathways, and to gain insight into 
the new national and international rediscovery of the genre. Our 
ultimate goal is to lay out the foundation of a European radio drama 
study group where key works, authors, directors, national or period 
styles and subgenres are explored to get a deeper understanding of how 
this „invisible” genre developed over the last 100+ years responding to 
artistic and political needs.

This is a nonprofit symposium organized by scholars and no registration 
fee is requested.
