Synopsis

The book Audio Documentary: A Sociological Perspective offers a unique analysis that significantly contributes to the development of knowledge within the audial paradigm. It is a thorough scholarly study of a phenomenon exceptional in the Polish radio tradition– the audio documentary (prof. Małgorzata Bogunia-Borowska, review)

The work provides an insightful analysis of the audio documentary as a medium of cultural values and a vehicle for the transmission of social memory. It also delves deeply into the context of production and the structural composition of the documentary. All the crucial elements of its construction are examined and problematized in the book. It constitutes a valuable contribution to sociology, communication studies, and media scholarship (prof. Krzysztof Konecki, review)
