Summary:
Depuis leur village du Nunavik, dans la cuisine de leur petite maison, Hannah et Niap écoutent la radio. Source ininterrompue de musique, d'information et de lien social entre les membres de la communauté, la voix des ondes est le personnage principal de la pièce. C'est d'elle que proviennent les témoignages de cinq jeunes femmes, dont la vie est partagée entre le sud du Québec et le Grand Nord. Un texte sensible et poétique qui s'appuie sur l'expérience de la radio comme sur celle de la scène pour faire entendre et vivre le Nord à travers les voix, les souvenirs et les espoirs de celles qui l'habitent.

Summary:
As our society is stricken with repeated technological disasters, and the apocalyptic problems that go with them, the "neo-primitivist" essays of John Zerzan seem more relevant than ever. ''Future Primitive,'' the core innovative essay of Future Primitive Revisited, has been out of print for years. This new edition is updated with never-before-printed essays that speak to a youthful political movement and influential writers such as Derrick Jensen and Paul Theroux. An active participant in the contemporary anarchist resurgence, John Zerzan has been an invited speaker at both radical and conventional events on several continents. His weekly Anarchy Radio broadcast streams live on KWVA radio.

Summary:
L'espace radiophonique, non comme outil de vulgarisation mais pour l'intérêt qu'il suscite auprès d'un large public, devient pour Benjamin le lieu par excellence d'application pratique de ses réflexions sur les moyens de reproductibilité technique et la popularisation de la culture. Il esquisse ici une théorie de la radio, comme le montre un ensemble de lettres et de textes inédits en français qui viennent compléter cette édition. Un nouveau visage de Walter Benjamin, ou plutôt une voix nouvelle, se fait ici entendre. Avec humour, un talent incontestable de metteur en scène et une verve de dialoguiste, Walter Benjamin montre que la radio est un outil, littéraire, pédagogique et culturel, d'exception.
