    The photo-dramatics of atọ́ka photoplay magazine
    (Yorùbá Studies Association of Nigeria, 2014-06) Akangbe, C. A.
    The photo-dramatics of Atoka implies the various dramaturgical devices employed in creating Atoka photoplay magazine. The composition of the photoplay magazine relies extensively on the editorial and creative ingenuity of Olotuu (editor) who controls the three-modal arts of Atoka, namely: dramatic art, photographic art and publishing art. Atoka tells its stories primarily in photographs, hence series of artistic and technical manipulations to convey its dramatic story vividly to its readers. This paper which adopts Roland Barthe‟s photo-semiotics examines the photo-dramatics of Atoka, dwelling on its various dramaturgical devices of adaptation techniques; photographic shots, shots imposition and continuous dialogue; editorial intervention: speech balloons, thought bubbles, and cap prints; and intro and recap devices.

    (Centre Universitaire de Recherche et d’Etudes de Langues (CUREL), Institut Universitaire Panafricain, Porto-Novo, and Linguistic Immersion Centre for Foreign Students, University of Ilorin, Kwara State, Nigeria, 2018-06) Akangbe, C. A.
    Photoplay magazine was a veritable media of dramatic production for Yoruba theatre practitioners in South-West Nigeria between 1967 and 1991. It was a secondary media of production as the plays published in photoplay magazines were first usually produced on stage, which is the primary home and the homing ground of drama. Atoka was the first and the prime of all photoplay magazines that existed in Yoruba. This paper focuses on the principal arts of photoplay which are dramatic arts, photographic arts and publishing arts. Employing the theory of New Historicism, this study traces the evolution of Atoka photoplay magazine; identifies the three- modal arts of Atoka; examines the concept, constituents and interrelationship of these arts and their impact on the overall success of the magazine as a publication.
