While the fields of adult learning and career and technical education began in isolated silos, as the fields emerged, their histories became entwined and technology had a profound influence on their growth and direction. This chapter will begin by exploring the beginnings of adult learning and CTE as two fields developing in parallel paths and serving two different audiences. However, as the fields developed, there is evidence of their entwinement in both the literature and programs within organizations. In addition, from the Gutenberg printing press to today’s Web 2.0, technology has played an important part in the development and direction of both of these fields This chapter will examine this history of silos and connections and continue to explore the role of technology in the future growth and meshing of these fields to generate even more effective and efficient learning.

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.

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.

Drama and theater have probably been the first strong and vibrant mass media of mankind for centuries. Along with the changing times and society, its form and concerns also kept changing. In ancient times, classical theater was royal and folk theater was dictated. In the medieval period, Muslim-Mughal rulers developed and expanded almost all forms of arts. With the change of time and society, the medium of expression and the nature of literature and arts also change. Science made unprecedented progress in the modern period. New inventions took place. The printing press achieved immense success in making literature accessible and as a medium of information communication. Newspapers turned rumors into authentic information and played a very important role in creating a mass movement in our freedom struggle. नाटक और रंगमंच सम्भवतः मनुष्य जाति का पहला और सदियों तक एकमात्र सशक्त एवं जीवन्त जन-माध्यम रहा है। बदलते हुए समय और समाज के साथ-साथ इसके स्वरूप एवं सरोकार भी लगातार बदलते रहे। प्राचीन काल में शास्त्रीय रंगमंच राज्याश्रित था और लोक-रंगमंच जनाश्रित। मध्यकाल में, मुसलमान-मुगल शासकों ने कलाओं के लगभग सभी रूपों का खूब विकास और विस्तार किया। समय और समाज के परिवर्तन से अभिव्यक्ति माध्यम और साहित्य एवं कलाओं के स्वरूप भी बदलते हैं। आधुनिक काल में विज्ञान ने अभूतपूर्व प्रगति की। नए-नए आविष्कार हुए। प्रिंटिंग प्रेस ने साहित्य को जन-सुलभ बनाने और सूचना-संचार के माध्यम के रूप में अपार सफलता प्राप्त की। अखबारों ने अफवाहों को प्रामाणिक सूचनाओं में बदल दिया और हमारे स्वतंत्रता-संग्राम में जनान्दोलन पैदा करने में अत्यंत महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाई।

The common denominator of some of the questions and problems raised by the reviewers is represented by the new technological revolution, the role of AI in this revolution, and their impact on the world today. No one doubts the fact that we are living the greatest transformation of the information environment since Gutenberg’s printing press. Nevertheless, as John Naughton emphasized, “we’re as clueless about where it’s heading and what’s driving it as the citizens of Mainz were in 1495” (Naughton, 2019). Four centuries have passed since then; during this time, the printing press shaped society and thinking, introduced new forms of communication, occasioned a massive improvement in the general population’s level of education, made public schools and the mass dissemination of knowledge possible. It radically influenced everything. Now, we are at the dawn of a new era, one which will lead to least as many transformations as print did.

Territorial Unity

This article discusses the propagation of the devotion of the Seven Sorrows of the Virgin Mary in the Low Countries around 1500. The central argument is that the secular goal of the promoters of the devotion was to create a large spiritual and emotional community in support of the Burgundian-Habsburg dynasty and its ideology of peace and territorial unity. To this end a whole array of old and new media was exploited. The article analyses the dynamics of this devotional communication and gives special attention to the role of miracles, vernacular theatre and the printing press.

Court Of Chancery

This chapter focuses on the role of the printing press in the standardization of the English language. A few centuries after the Norman conquest, by the end of the 1300s, English was again a written language. However, there was no agreement on the correct way to write or spell to use as a guide. Some standards started to emerge after the Court of Chancery switched to English in about 1430. This loose, emerging standard came to be known as Chancery English. Then, in 1476, a merchant named William Caxton brought an amazing new invention back to England from the continent: the printing press. This happened to take place during the middle of a major shift in English pronunciation. From the 14th century to the 17th century, the vowel system of English underwent a massive reorganization called the Great Vowel Shift. By the time the Great Vowel Shift had spread through most of the country in spoken language, the writing system, aided by the printing press, had solidified into a standard that was taught, propagated, and reinforced constantly.
