Tourisme radiophonique et imaginaires touristiques : quand les sons rendent sensibles les lieux, les pratiques et les acteurs

Abstract

This article is an argumentative semio-discursive analysis of the radio tourism magazine Et si on partait? broadcasted on radio station Europe1 during the summer of 2020. It reveals the discursive processes and mechanisms that “make tourism” and territories, practices and actors sensitive to the listener. The question here is not to consider radio as a media without image but to take into account its mediativity and the specificities of the sound space in order to analyze the radio productions dedicated to tourism and the tourist imaginaries that they convey and build.
