Why did free radios invaded our dial? Reflections on the communicational anomy concept as the origin of alternative communication projects (1976-1989)
Keywords:

Abstract
During the late 1970’s and the 1980’s hundreds of free radios appeared in Spain. The main goal of these projects was to challenge the hegemonic communicative model and change it for a new one more horizontal, participatory, democratic and inclusive. Where could we place the origin of this practice? This paper aims to answer this question using the concept of communicational anomy, as it seems that these radios stations emerged in response to to a tension between some dominant culture’s values which were socially desirable and the normalized means to reach them.Downloads
