On a radio show operated by Morocco's National Broadcasting Service, listeners call in to recite the Qur’ān on air and receive critical commentary on their performance from the show's hosts. The show, called Learn Recitation of the Qur’ān, is linked politically and discursively to Morocco's broader “recitational revival” (ṣaḥwa tajwīdīyya) and to its concerns with a distinct “Moroccan” variant of Qur’ānic recitational practice. The show's on-air pedagogical encounter is ultimately mediated by a confluence of technologies, built space, and discursive authority in the “backstage” space of the radio station's studio—producing what I call electrosonic statecraft. Yet this form of statecraft is ultimately caught between guiding the individual pedagogical progress of its subjects and expanding its community of reciters. This forces subjects to endure forms of “latency,” meaning technological interruptions or participatory deferrals that delay their pedagogical progress, rendering a “perfect” recitation, and perhaps the state itself, seemingly imminent yet always just beyond reach.

电声治国

在摩洛哥国家广播服务公司运营的广播节目中，听众打电话朗诵《古兰经》，并从节目主持人那里获得对其表演的批评性评论。该节目名为《古兰经的学习背诵》，在政治和话语上与摩洛哥更广泛的“背诵复兴”（ṣaḥwa tajwīdīyya）及其对古兰经背诵实践的独特“摩洛哥”变体的关注相关联。该节目的广播教学遭遇最终是由广播电台工作室“后台”空间中的技术、建筑空间和话语权威的汇合所调解的——产生了我所谓的电声治国法. 然而，这种治国方略最终被夹在指导其学科的个人教学进步和扩大其朗诵者社区之间。这迫使受试者忍受各种形式的“延迟”，这意味着技术中断或参与性延迟会延迟他们的教学进展，从而呈现“完美”的背诵，甚至状态本身，看似迫在眉睫，但总是遥不可及。[广播、媒体、声音、技术、治国方略、古兰经、伊斯兰教、摩洛哥]
