“…This inherently leads to a callous-like state in which the passersby, among other behaviours, ignore nonessential information (Inattentional Blindness) and fend-off others (Milgram, 1970 andCoon &Mitterer, 2008). A robot attempting to instantiate an interaction with a naive passerby is likely to be faced with these challenges, the passersby are likely to ignore the robot or, upon attending to it, perceive its request for an interaction as attempted panhandling and fend-off its attempt (Goldberg, 1995 andLankenau, 1999). However, as previously described, sociocontextual cues can individualise (in this case potentially defeating Inattentional Blindness) and communicate intention (in this case offering, which could defeat the percept of the robot's role as being that of a panhandler).…”

The industrial revolution undoubtedly defined the role of machines in our society, and it directly shaped the paradigm for human machine interaction -a paradigm which was inherited by the field of Human Robot Interaction (HRI) as the machines became robots. This paper argues that, for a foreseeable set of interactions, reshaping this paradigm would result in more effective and more often successful interactions. This paper presents our Robot Centric paradigm for HRI. Evidence in the form of summaries of relevant literature and our past efforts in developing social-robotics enabling technology is presented to support our paradigm. A definition and a set of recommendations for designing the key enabling component, sociocontextual cues, of our paradigm are presented. Finally, empirical evidence generated through a number of experiments and field studies (N = 456 and N = 320) demonstrates our paradigm is both feasibly incorporated into HRI and moreover, yields significant contributions to the successfulness of a set of HRIs.

“…Exceptions include Chaudhuri's (1987) research on women who beg near temples in India, Schak's (1988) research on a community of beggars in Taiwan, and Martínez Novo's (2003) research on indigenous women street vendors and beggars in Mexico. Within North America and Britain, much of the contemporary research on begging explores the issue through the lens of homelessness (Duncan, 1978;Fitzpatrick & Kennedy, 2001;Lankenau, 1999aLankenau, , 1999bSnow & Anderson, 1993;Wardhaugh, 1996). Other literature analyses: public attitudes and the moral discourse surrounding begging (Adler, 1999;Dean & Gale, 1999;Erskine & McIntosh, 1999;Jordan, 1999); begging in the Victorian city (Jaffe, 1990;Murdoch, 2003;Rose, 1988); begging governance (Hermer, 2007;Hopkins Burke, 1999); and begging youth (Coles & Craig, 1999;Helleiner, 2003).…”

‘Bad Mothers’ and ‘Delinquent Children’: Unravelling anti-begging rhetoric in the Ecuadorian Andes

In this paper I examine the rhetorics that circulate surrounding the lives of young indigenous women and children who beg on the streets of Quito, Ecuador. I focus particularly on rhetorics being produced and reproduced by urban planners, social workers, religious leaders and the media. Drawing on in-depth interviews, I reveal how these groups regularly imagine indigenous women and children in terms of child exploitation/child delinquency, false manipulation of public sympathies, ignorance, laziness and filth. Indigenous women and children are further understood as being fundamentally 'out of place' in the city. I unravel these rhetorics in order to draw attention to how begging is differentiated according to gender, race and age and to reveal how these rhetorics become inserted into exclusionary policies and practices. Moreover, and as a counterpoint to such rhetorics, I provide an alternative understanding of women's and children's involvement in begging by drawing upon the perspectives of indigenous women and children themselves. I argue that far from being passive victims, indigenous women and children work with and around oppressive conditions and mobilise them to their own advantage.

“…C'est une condition spectaculaire : l'itinérant occupe les espaces publics et interagit avec les passants. La mendicité s'inscrit d'ailleurs spécifiquement dans l'interface entre le passant et l'itinérant et force une réponse du citoyen ordinaire face à l'itinérance (Lankeneau, 1999 ;Pichon, 1992Pichon, , 1993Pichon, , 1994. Comme le souligne Damon (1998), les mendiants font tache dans une société policée et urbanisée car ils sont le signe de troubles que l'on aimerait oublier et l'empreinte de défauts évidents dans le système de protection sociale.…”
