This essay explores the role of art periodicals in art worlds past and present. It examines the histories of Artforum and October within the context of the North American art world of the 1960s and 1970, and contextualizes these publications within a larger field of publishing practices, including self-published Salon pamphlets, little magazines, and artists' periodicals. It explores how the distribution form of the periodical affects the politics of art criticism, and considers how art magazines have served as sites of critical publicity, mediating publics and counterpublics within the art world. It also reflects on the role of magazines and newer online media in the contemporary, globalized art world.

In this chapter, the authors will report evidence for the potential of MMORPGs for social studies education by providing a detailed review of relevant literature from the fields of game studies, educational technology, and the social networking universe. This evidence will include game scholars’ efforts to develop classroom applications of MMORPGs in the social sciences and related disciplines, and also provide examples of ‘citizenship education’ already occurring with MMORPGs. The authors will also provide an overview of perceived costs and benefits associated with classroom MMORPG use, including logistical hurdles that need to be overcome. They will also share a list of recommendations to the field for classroom use of MMORPGs, as well as implications for policy changes and future study.

Introductory Discussion

This essay argues that the ‘thought figure’ of world literature has been under incalculable strain from its inception, given the diversity of linguistic and cultural contexts within which it must be understood. After a brief introductory discussion of Rabindranath Tagore’s talk on world literature (1907), the essay goes on to connect world literature debates with those in global modernism, especially modernism in the colony. Looking at the networks of modernism, and the role of little magazines in India, particularly Bengal, in creating a sense of world literature through reviews and translations, it stresses the importance of location, language, and perspective in the wake of decolonization. However, in the present time of ecological and planetary crisis, with a global upsurge of xenophobia, insularity, and ethnic, racist, or communal violence, the notion of a world, or of a world literature, is hard to sustain.

Space Material

This essay explores the formative but largely unacknowledged role played by women in shaping the material and intellectual cultural productions of the mimeograph revolution in mid-century New York City. I argue that women poets used their positions as editors of little magazines to claim space – material, textual, cultural, and metaphorical – in literary and social networks in which they faced gendered marginalization. I suggest that the varied success with which they were able to do so reveals the complexities of editing, the uneven nature of the influences of gender, the determining role of domestic spaces, and the significance of affective labor in relation to the mimeograph revolution.

Crucial Part

The first half of my Introduction to Political Science course deals with normative theory, in particular the theories underlying the American method of organizing a polity. I agree with C.B. MacPherson that Locke's Second Treatise provided the “title deeds” of the liberal state and is a crucial part of American thinking on politics, the individual, and the state. Madison's Federalist #10 is an extension of Locke into the practical matters of organizing a new constitution. This essay describes the classroom use of games, lecture and discussion to introduce students to these theorists.The course begins with Madison, mainly because students can understand and apply the concepts of the entire argument much more quickly. The successful use of games and exercises in the classroom requires an immediate start to student participation, an active expectation of student roles in the course. Two hours of class time is sufficient to discuss and review Madison's argument. Time is spent on its implications for the role of the individual, the state, and the dynamics of politics.

SummaryThis paper examines the continuities and discontinuities in language teaching between the Middle Ages and the early modern era by drawing attention to the role of bilingual Latin-vernacular proverb collections in premodern education, a subject that has hitherto been neglected in the historiography of linguistics. The focus is on bilingual collections that are of Dutch origin. The paper aims to show that there was an active culture of teaching Latin through vernacular proverbs in Western Europe from the 11th century to the 17th century. After presenting some collections and surveying the arguments in favour of classroom use, it investigates the impact of humanism and the reformation on proverb-based teaching.

As transformações no Ensino Superior estão relacionadas também às condições da realidade externa, interna em relação aos investimentos e às perspectivas educacionais, que são impulsionadas pelas demandas sociais, do mundo do trabalho, da globalização e do novo papel do conhecimento. O hibridismo tem se consolidado em experiências diferenciadas e entende-se que este não pode ser considerado como um modelo estático, mas que tende a transformar o contexto no qual está inserido cada vez mais, com os resultados de reflexões acadêmicas a respeito de propostas implantadas, como a sala de aula invertida, uso de diversos aplicativos, entre outros, no Ensino Superior em diferentes países.Palavras-chave: Educação a Distância.

Looking Back

A survey of the Afrikaans literary scene of 1983 might one day prove to be a survey of this literary system on the eve of a “new dispensation”. From the ranks of the Afrikaans literary establishment there was a resounding “Yes” to the 1983 referendum which effectively compartmented ‘culture’ to ‘own affairs'. In this time of political change and adjustment the role of the Afrikaans intellectual and writer within the South African community has once again become an urgent point of debate. From literary texts themselves, from established journals and ‘little magazines' there are clear indications that a reflection on ideology keeps recurring. There are also voices on the periphery of the literary system which demand attention - young black poets and dramatists have for some years been involved in enacting and reciting their Afrikaans works on the Cape Flats and in townships on the Rand. Looking back at the Afrikaans literary scene of 1983, and its relationship with the socio-political context, one is left with two main impressions. On the one hand the literary establishment has confirmed its faith in reform under the leadership of the National Party. On the other hand there are developments in extra-parliamentary politics and within the literary system itself which threatens the equilibrium. Which of these trends will be the decisive factor with regard to the literary dispensation must be awaited.
