Abstract

The proposal of this article is to approach some strategies used for intellectual scholars for the diffusion of the technology of the radio in Brazil from 1923, when Rádio Sociedade do Rio de Janeiro, first regular radio of the country. On the basis of the analysis of the magazine Radio, perceives that it has the attempt to spread the technology, what it allows the public to create multiple material forms for what, later, would be assigned person, in the singular, as radio. At this moment, Edgar Roquette-Pinto led a movement of technological literacy of the citizens for the construction of devices, carried through for the intense exchange of information between the citizens and the just-inaugurated radio. From the creation of a department technician, a Rádio Sociedade do Rio de Janeiro in such a way assisted those that they desired to construct to a radio with artisan apparatuses how much the ones that they opted to a device made with expensive and imported parts, making possible the sprouting of radios for all the different technological desires. The appropriation of specific technological apparatuses still created surrounding possible for the sprouting of multiple forms of listening.
