GEnERàl eDITORs’ FOREwORD

et us start wîth the obvîous questîon. What îs the deInîtîon o a  sma natîon? The honest answer o course îs that there are many approaches to such deInîtîons, rangîng rom the more obvîous meas-ures o popuatîon and geographîc scae to more subte measures such as Gross Natîona Product or Mîrosav Hroch’s notîon o ‘subjectîon to a ruîng natîon or such a ong perîod that the reatîon o subjectîon took on a structura character or both partîes’ (cîted în Hjort and Petrîe, 2007: 6). Thîs serîes’ conceptua ramework îs much coser to the ast o these deInîtîons and, în some ways, chooses to take the îdea urther în the way that ît eaves open the opportunîty or voumes on dîferent orms o medîa and cuture to adopt subty dîferent approaches. ïn Mette Hjort and Duncan Petrîe’s coectîon,The Cînema o Sma Natîons, the authors îumînate a sîmîar debate o theîr own by cîtîng a sectîon în Davîd Bordwe and Krîstîn Thompson’s deInîtîveFîm Hîstory: An ïntroductîonentîted ‘Smaer producîng countrîes’. Thîs încuded work on thecînemas o Mexîco, ïndîa, Coombîa, New Zeaand, Austraîa and Canada (2007: 3). Here îs not the pace to debate the vaîdîty o thîsspecîIc îst, but ît îustrates the probem as we as the useu and înter-estîng chaenge o consîderîng the concept o sma natîonhood îndîferent ways. Fundamentay, the serîes îs most înterested în the natîon as a key sîte o power and, în turn, how artîsts and poîcy makers negotîate the questîon o power în dîferent kînds o natîona contexts. Thereore, î Hroch’s deInîtîon above îs sîghty too rîgîd or thîs purpose ît never-theess îndîcates the genera terraîn on whîch thîs serîes operates. ït attempts to gîve contrîbutors the opportunîty to wrîte about natîona contexts wîthîn whîch partîcuar art orms have had to negotîate sîg-nîIcant questîons o power reatîons wîth cose neîghbours at key poînts în recent hîstory. The orm that such ‘negotîatîons’ have taken obvîousy varîes. For exampe, very cose to home, here în the Unîted Kîngdom, the îssue o anguage has been a poweru actor în the reatîonshîp between Waes and Engand în partîcuar. The same îs true to a greater or esser extent wîthîn other European countrîes such as Spaîn and Begîum.

Radio in Small Nations

By contrast, în the context o ‘Fîrst Natîons’, whîch we have taken the decîsîon to încude în thîs serîes, anguage îs requenty just one dîmensîon o a ong hîstory o much broader strugges characterîzed most pressîngy by varîous orms o materîa înequaîtîes and undamen-ta dîsputes over and and ownershîp. At thîs poînt ît îs very împortant to state that thîs serîes îs not con-cerned soey wîth the dîsadvantages o sma natîona contexts. ï any-thîng the baance îs somewhat în the other dîrectîon, though there îs no questîon that many contrîbutîons wî anayse the chaenges o the kînds o power reatîonshîps outîned above. However, one o the Irst înspîratîons or the edîtors’ învovement both în the serîes and în the study o sma natîons în genera was the îdea o the advantages o sma natîona contexts, partîcuary or certaîn kînds o creatîve endeavour. Hjort and Petrîe quote Oafson rom a work that was one o the Irst to make a sîgnîIcant înterventîon în thîs dîrectîon: ‘the cîtîzen o a sma state has a better possîbîîty to înLuence decîsîon makîng than a cîtîzen în a arge state’ (2007: 7). For the socîay and poîtîcay engagedartîst or cutura thînker thîs ofers the most potent o opportunîtîes and îs one o the key reasons why the contrîbutîons to thîs serîes have the potentîa to ofer such împortant însîghts. At the tîme o wrîtîng, the voume o academîc work on the medîa and cuture o sma natîons îs reatîvey sîght. We have aready men-tîoned Hjort and Petrîe’s coectîon on cînema, and the bîbîographîes o a the coectîons în thîs serîes wî attest to a number o outstand-îng smaer-scae însîghts în dîferent dîscîpînes. The aîm o the Sma Natîons and Goba Medîa serîes îs to brîng some o that work together în a sînge recognîzabe source that hopes to make a sîgnîIcant contrî-butîon not ony to debates specîIcay on creatîve endeavour and sma natîons, but by extensîon to the reatîonshîp between the îdea o the ‘natîona’ and the medîa and cuture that îs produced în dîferent kînds o natîona contexts.
