Szöveg + akusztikum = közvetített kultúra?
Text + acoustics = mediated culture?

Summary/Abstract: Originally, the radio has been considered a simple medium and thought to be to solve the problem of the propagation and levelling of culture at a high level, dating back to the Enlightenment. The study tries to answer the question concerning the association between this belief and the technical sensation of the new medium, respectively the characteristics of live speech. At the same time, the author also asks how the frustration of this faith can be associated with the recognition of McLuhan, according to which the Medium is the Message, or, in other words, there are no merely transmitting media. The recognition of the possibilities inherent in acoustics was favoured by the of the widespread use of the tape recorder, which offered the possibility of sound manipulation. Recorded sounds have become raw material and a loose medium for the form emerging from them, the acoustic production which is broadcasted. The invention of the radio signified not merely a new way of transmitting culture, but a new segment of culture itself, which, of course, can aid the transmission of other cultural segments.
