Abstract
This article summarizes my research on propaganda discs produced in France in the 20th century. I introduce the new notion of “fluid mediator” to describe the capacity of these discs, bearers of sound political cultures, to be heard in social spaces hostile to these cultures. Using historical cases, I analyze this capacity through the prisms of the imaginary and the temporalities of the disc and the sound recorded.
