Sommario/riassunto

The studies of poverty, progress and development in this volume, first published in 1991, by a distinguished international roster of authors and researchers, aim to increase knowledge of the social mechanisms of pauperization, marginalization, and the exclusion of certain categories of society; to bring to light the potential and creative role of socio-cultural, intellectual, ethical, moral and spiritual values in progress and the development process; and to examine the links and contradictions between development and progress in order to propose ways of reducing social inequalities.

Sommario/riassunto

This volume examines the vital interplay between acoustic techniques and modernist practices in the growth of radio. Concentrating on the period from the 1930s to the 1970s, but also speaking to the rising popularity of today's narrative broadcasts, Porter's close readings of key radio programmes show how writers adapted literary techniques to an acoustic medium with great effect.
