Thesis outline

Structure of the text: radio show, song, theatre play, script, python script, structure of phonetic rules (ref: "Speech for the stage"), structure of pocketsphinx

Statement: How communication platforms like radio electromagnetic spectrum raise questions on limited and restricted public spaces. How the voice and speech give presence.

Motivation: (gender) exclusion in communication platforms like radio because of the exclusion in the technical knowledge of them. Redefining those mediums by appropriate them in a way that follows up the "situation"/position (cultural, political) of that person.

invisible frequencies

Radio stations: a tool to appropriate physical space and electromagnetic spectrum (ref:"Take it to the air"). Being present in the space and radio at the same time. Multiple voices (presence and absence). Voice based communication platforms. Scanning through weird sounds, broadcasters. Mapping the frequencies through 'live' speech recognition.

Documentation of: making antennas, scanning through frequencies, interviews with pirates. Radio airwaves restrictions

speech/voice/phonetics

How voices of the voiceless becomes present in counter- communication platforms. The need for embodied presence (ref:"Orality and literacy"). The practice of gossiping (ref: text of Amy, "practices of everyday life"), phonetics

Control over voice (ref: articles of Gizmodo): when the voice and speech data become material for control by using speech recognition. Speech

leave a trace: politics of presence

Public space and pirate radios. Walking (ref:"Walking and mapping"), mapping, tracing, tracking, listening, murmuring. The spatial perspectives of sound/the physical dimensions of it. The private soundscapes created by it. The parallel presence of it. Relation with public space.
