Radio Venceremos

In Vera Burrows’s AVAnnotate project “The Power and Reality of Radio During Revolution / El poder y la realidad de la radio durante revolución,” Burrows presents her research on a collection of civil war recordings from a Salvadoran rebel radio station, Radio Venceremos, to both anglophone and hispanophone audiences. She does so by creating two sets of annotations on the same audio events: one annotation set translates the transcripts of these Spanish recordings into English (useful for anglophone audiences) and the other presents contextualizing research on the violence of these recordings into Spanish (useful for hispanophone audiences). This project was originally built for AudiAnnotate, and was re-created with AVAnnotate by Jack D. Riordan.
