Abstract:

This essay proceeds from the consideration of literature as a medium of disseminating information to society at large, and argues that poetry, being a branch of literature, lends its resources and compact form to this function of information dissemination. It goes further to argue that Niyi Osundare in Village Voices, like the town-crier in our traditional societies, clearly brings to the attention of the leaders and the led important developments within society. However, he does not stop at informing society of those developments, especially the negative conduct of its leaders, but goes furth

Abstract:

The use of new assistive technologies in general, and Socially Assistive Robots (SARs) in particular, is becoming increasingly common for supporting people’s health and well-being. However, it still faces many issues regarding long-term adherence, acceptability and utility. Most of these issues are due to design processes that insufficiently take into account the needs, preferences and values of intended users. Other issues are related to the currently very limited amount of long-term evaluations, performed in real-world settings, for SARs. This study presents the results of two regional proje

Abstract:

This chapter investigates the practical mechanisms of state communication at the level of the municipality, by focussing on the roles and duties of town criers and bell-ringers, and the curious emergence of the aanplakker (the town ‘poster-upper’) as a municipal official. It makes use of archival sources from towns around the Netherlands, focussing in particular on the cities of Amsterdam, Haarlem, Leiden, Utrecht, Leeuwarden and Groningen. The chapter includes a rich array of visual sources to demonstrate the ubiquitous presence of state communication in the Dutch cityscape. It also discusses

Abstract:

In 2020, a study was carried out to show the roles of the new fusion between the indigenous and traditional media (traditional town criers and radio) using indigenous Yoruba language in creating the awareness of COVID-19 among select rural dwellers in Lagos state, and which was published in 2023. This study revealed a novel scene where traditional town criers were brought into language radio stations to create awareness for COVID-19 using Yoruba language. However, this study did not investigate the impact these media fusions had on the minority rural dwellers in Lagos state; rather, it only re

Abstract:

Abstract Bologna’s prestige as a musical centre in the Baroque era rested upon the reputation of two of the city’s oldest institutions: the cappella musicale in San Petronio founded in 1436, and the Concerto Palatino,2 the town band, whose origins can be traced back to the work of town criers in the thirteenth century. They were state institutions, regulated and financed by Senate. The affairs of San Petronio were governed by a Fabbriceria comprising six elected senators, five serving in rotation whilst the sixth, a president, normally served for life.

Abstract:

Abstract Shop signs existed in ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, but the Athenians can probably lay claim to the invention of modern commercial advertising as we know it. In Athens there were town criers, chosen for their mellifluous voices and clear elocution, who interrupted their proclamations with paid-for advertisements (just as advertisements interrupt television newscasts today). Aesclyptoe, an early Athenian cosmetician, promoted his lotions and potions with consummate professionalism:

Abstract:

When he made Torn Curtain in 1966, Hitchcock was sixty-six, the Production Code was thirty-six, and both were in decline. The curtain of the title is the Iron Curtain, and Paul Newman plays a nuclear scientist assigned to travel to East Germany as a Communist sympathizer to bring back the mathematical formula for an anti-missile system. The Production Code had three major concerns with the script. In one of the movie’s earliest scenes, there appeared to be inappropriate ‘intimacies of lovemaking’ between Newman and costar Julie Andrews. Code reviewers also worried that the killing of the East

Abstract The first to jump onto the ground, sinking into mud up to his knees, was Mr. Smith, who at the top of his lungs and in his broken Spanish shouted, “Don’t anybody move, all right? Everybody just stay put!” Numerous heads immediately peered out of the carriage’s windows, now bereft of all glass. The collision that had caused the derailment had also produced some fortunately slight wounds. “What a scare! Enough to make our hearts stand still! Were you very frightened, my love?” Don Fernando said to Lucia. “Terrified, darling! It’s a miracle we’re alive.” “You’re very pale. I wonder wheth
