Radio y prácticas comunitarias para generar ciudadanía e identidad: FM “Los Coihues”

Abstract

From the dynamic concept of “neighborhood”, we understand that “community communication” gives us the tools to make visible the practices and actions that make the territory itself. There and with empirical basis in the case of FM “Los Coihues”, located in the Villa Los Coihues neighborhood of the city of San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina, we understand that community radios generate and enhance spaces and practices of citizen participation, in this particular case with a view to generating “identities”. We will observe how in the very action of the station, strong community ties are developed at the same time that the identity perspective is made explicit as key for this space in citizen key.
