This talk examines how sound broadcasting shaped mass movements, amplifying both utopian promises and dystopian violence, and how Cold War radio traveled across geopolitical borders. I analyze Mao-era radios and loudspeakers in fictional films as media history, then present rare recordings of PRC radio from Hong Kong to consider what sonic archives reveal beyond texts.Speaker's Bio: Jie Li is the Ford Foundation Professor of East Asian Studies at Harvard University.
