  • Summary

    Chapter 3 develops a typology of varieties of participatory technologies. It argues that participatory technologies vary along three key dimensions: informational output, individualization, and personalization, and that this variation influences the relative benefits and costs for authorities. The chapter then identifies and details three main types of participatory technologies – appeals systems, public consultations, and call-in shows – illustrating each of these ideal types through cases in Russia and around the world.

  • Radio Call-In Shows on Intimate Issues in Benin: “Crossroads of Sentiments”

  • Journal:
    African Studies Review / Volume 57 / Issue 1 / April 2014
    Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    09 April 2014, pp. 25-48

The popularity of this emerging format exemplifies current processes of appropriation of electronic media in West Africa, including its impact on contemporary public communication. The article argues that the current public prominence of these programs corresponds to considerable shifts in the media landscape that are enabled by a variety of factors, including an increasing expertise among presenters and technicians and the influence of mobile phones.
