Boris Johnson is <a href="https://www.economist.com/leaders/2022/07/07/clownfall" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">standing down</a> as Britain’s prime minister. We consider his legacy and impact on British politics. Public attitudes on LGBT rights in South-East Asia are <a href="https://www.economist.com/asia/2022/06/16/south-east-asia-is-beginning-to-accept-same-sex-relationships" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">changing fast</a>—and its laws are at last changing, too. And at this week’s Montreal’s Jazz Festival, the pioneering pianist and local hero Oscar Peterson remains the patron saint.

Send out the clown: Boris agrees to go

In the next instalment of our midterms series, we head to the suburbs of Atlanta in search of that rarest of political creatures: the swing voter. There aren’t many of them, but they may well determine which party controls the Senate. Luxury brands are changing their outlooks and offerings as they seek new markets and younger consumers. And our culture correspondent visits a retrospective of William Kentridge’s works.For full access to print, digital and audio editions of The Economist, subscribe here <a href="http://www.economist.com/intelligenceoffer" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.economist.com/intelligenceoffer</a> <hr> Hosted on Acast.

It does mean a thing: America’s swing voters

This is part of an old collection of material from my days near the train station in Pisa, the city of the leaning tower. 

There were some afternoons when I did not know what to do. Then I walked around the city looking for interesting places and faces.

I walked around like a stubborn butterfly. Sometimes I found some odd place, something out of place. This song is dedicated to those places, and to those butterflies.

Coolkraft Speccial 2012 Original Mix

Pendant 90 minutes, le 15 juillet 2018, une grande partie de la planète a suivi la finale de la coupe du monde de football. Nous avons enregistré une soixantaine de radios qui commentaient le match à leur manière, dans le monde entier : Ghana, Mali, Brésil, Argentine, Pologne, Croatie, Thaïlande, Bangladesh, Indonésie et Maroc...
Le traitement sonore du même événement donne à entendre ce qui nous rassemble dans un monde globalisé, mais aussi les différences culturelles qui persistent. Certaines radios entrecoupent la diffusion de publicités, d’autres d’appels à la prière, de dédicaces ou de l’annonce de l’heure locale, bombardant des jingles ou de la musique à la mi-temps.
Dans une époque globalement visuelle, où nous sommes tous connectés via le petit écran et l’internet, écouter la radio semble une pratique désuète, mais le commentateur reste une figure importante pour les amateurs de football du monde entier. Ce collage sonore propose de réécouter un récit dont tout le monde connaît l’issue, à travers ses langues, ses accents, ses rythmes et ses mélodies, sur fond de grésillements et de saturations propres à la radio hertzienne.

Radio Mondial (Español)
Durante 90 minutos el 15 de julio 2018, una gran parte del planeta siguió la final de la Copa Mundial de Fútbol. Grabamos unas 60 estaciones de radio del mundo entero comentando el partido, cada uno a su manera : en Ghana, Mali, Brasil, Argentina, Polonia, Croacia, Tailandia, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Marruecos…
El tratamiento sonoro del mismo acontecimiento nos ofrece escuchar aquello que nos une y nos reúne en un mundo globalizado, pero también las diferencias culturales que persisten. Algunas radios interrumpen la transmisión con publicidad, otras con los llamados del muecín, dedicatorias, anuncios de la hora local, bombardeo publicitario y música durante el medio tiempo.
En una época globalmente visual, donde estamos conectados a través de pequeñas pantallas y el internet, escuchar la radio parece una práctica antigua, pero el comentador sigue siendo una persona importante para los aficionados de la pelota. Este “collage” sonoro propone re-escuchar un relato del cual todo el mundo conoce el final, a través de una variedad de lenguas, acentos, ritmos y melodías sobre un fondo sonoro de interferencias y saturaciones propias de la radio.

Radio Mondial (English)
On July 15, 2018, over the course of 90 minutes, a big part of the planet followed the FIFA’s World Cup final tournament. We recorded around 60 radio broadcasters from all over the world which all commented on the match each in their own way: in Ghana, Mali, Brazil, Argentina, Poland, Thailand, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Morocco, among others.
Through the sound-based coverage of one of the planet’s biggest events the act of listening unites people and brings us together in a global sense, but also gives us the opportunity to identify our cultural differences. For example, during half-time, some radio broadcasters interrupt the match with advertisements, while others have prayer calls, personal dedications, the local hour announcement, or simple bombarding listeners with jingles and music.
In global and mostly visual times, when we are connected through a small screen and the internet, listening to the radio seems like an old-fashioned practice, but for soccer lovers the commentator is still a relevant and an important character in their lives. This sound collage invites us to listen to a story of which we all know the end through a variety of languages, accents, rhythms and melodies within a background of crackling and saturation, very common sounds in radio broadcasts.
