Book Voices from the Fortress

Download or read book Voices from the Fortress written by Paul Rea and published by Dogwise Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Rea uncovered the extraordinary story of an Australian ex-prisoner of war who had been illegally thrown into a Nazi concentration camp called Terazin in Czechoslovakia, now known as the 'Living Grave'. This soldier was stripped of any protection offered by his national and military status and was punished for doing no more than his duty: escaping from a POW camp. Further investigation tracked down more than a dozen Australian and New Zealand veterans who broke a long silence to speak about their horrendous ordeals. These soldiers' British counterparts were awarded Nazi war crime compensation, but all the ANZACs receiveved was denial by their Army and their governments. VOICES FROM A SMALL FORTRESS is a record of the extraordinary experiences of the men who survived.

Book Electrified Voices

Download or read book Electrified Voices written by Dmitri Zakharine and published by V&R unipress GmbH. This book was released on 2013 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to explore the phenomenon of the electrified voice through interdisciplinary approaches such as media and technology studies, social history, and comparative cultural studies. The book focuses on three problem clusters: reflections on the societal level about the task of electronic voice transmission; the mediation of gender- and occupation-specific vocal stereotypes in audio and audio-visual formats; and the genesis of such vocal stereotypes in national radio and film cultures. Such a historicizing approach to societal experience in the field of voice mediation, including the use and interpretation of voice media, is today of great relevance in light of the collective learning processes currently triggered by rapid advances in technology.
