"Californians, this is the time for us to do our utmost for the University because it has done its utmost for us,” said Chief Justice Earl Warren at the April 1967 convocation at Berkeley. And what a time it was—on the heels of the Free Speech Movement in 1964, the Vietnam Day marches in 1965, an escalation of anti-war protests in 1966, and, in January of 1967, the dramatic firing of UC President Clark Kerr by Governor Ronald Regan at a meeting of the Board Regents. The following year the University of California would celebrate its hundredth year, and to celebrate this, the UC hired photographer Ansel Adams to take thousands of images of the rapidly expanding UC system. Adams was charged to take photographs of the future. What might these images from futures past tell us about the future for both this university and the state to which it belongs?

The University of South Carolina used an educational television format for an introductory braille course to reach a population of teachers scattered throughout the state. Results indicate that this format is a viable alternative to on-campus sessions. Three major components of the course were fifteen weekly television class sessions, five Saturday class sessions, and mastery testing on six unit tests. This article reports on the television course, how it was structured, the reactions of students and professor, and its feasibility for use in the future.

In May 2004, the delegates of the Library Commission of the CRuI had already identified the issue of electronic publishing as one of the strategic aspects to be addressed and explored with the utmost attention. The setting up of the working group on Electronic Publishing, co-ordinated by the University of Florence, formalised this interest, stimulating the analysis of the state of the art in this field in Italy, the opportunities which it offered to the academic world and the definition of possible lines of development. The "Recommendations" comprised in this publication are addressed to the delegates of the Chancellors of the Italian universities and their collaborators, and intended to provide information and suggestions for the development of electronic publishing initiatives. They are consequently designed not only as a tool for help and guidance for those who are already moving in the direction of a University publishing initiative, but also as an invitation to reflect on the importance that electronic publishing is acquiring for the teaching and scientific activities of the future.

This is the expanded text of the Henry Mayer Memorial Lecture presented by Graeme Turner at the University of Queensland in November 2015. In it, he outlines his argument from his book, Re-inventing the Media, before going on to draw upon that argument to present a series of issues that need to be addressed by critical media studies in the future: the challenge of a bifurcating field, the thoroughgoing commercialisation of the media, and media studies’ drift away from the interrogation of the operation of power in the relations between the media, their audiences and the state.

Are the elites opposed to NGOs?’ ‘Do the bureaucratic elite see NGOs as threat?’ Do the NGOs enjoy confidence of the community? These questions have been raised and approached from the angles of various theoretical perspectives in civil society literature. The answers have often been tinged with ideological and normative orientation of the scholars than that of empirical analysis. The present micro level exploratory study conducted in the state of Odisha has intersected the empirical referents of these queries. The study makes an attempt to assess the discernment of elites about nature and activities of the NGOs along with present GO-NGO equations in the State. The article also tries to articulate the future course of civil society in Odisha on the basis of the present dynamics in the sector. The findings of the study demystify many common assumptions about elite and NGOs and contribute towards development of ‘middle range theories’ between empiricism and grand theories on State and civil society discourse

Freedom as the ability to act in accordance with its own interests, needs, goals determines not only existing (present), but also future socio-legal reality and defines in it the place of a person. Guaranteed and secured by positive law the possibility of realizing subjective law is the main indicator of democracy, civilization, and humanity of the state. Conversely, the restriction, negation or restriction of rights and freedoms, in particular legal means, creates the ground for the destruction of the state, and at the same time society deprives the future.

In modern developed societies, the phenomenon of social and political passivity of citizens is observed. The high level of indifference to the actions of the authorities and the opposition significantly affects the level of development of the state and society. Can civil inertness be overcome with the help of transmedia technologies? How to make citizens responsible for the future of the country and society? The author tries to find answers to these questions by studying transmedia strategies. One of the features of transmedia projects is the ability to mobilize an audience without letting it go beyond the limits of the proposed narrative. According to the research hypothesis, it is possible to significantly increase the level of activity of civil society by filling the transmedia project with political and social content. The article also analyzes the possibility of increasing the level of project impact on the audience using different transmedia forms. The author analyzes the effectiveness of transmedia strategies to increase the influence of television projects in protecting the interests of the people and society.
