“…Berger's hypothesis is that perceived reality is constructed by social consensus and that identity is constantly being constructed (and re-constructed) by individuals, groups and institutions. 4 These 'packages' are carried primarily by communication and information networks, rather than political forces. The media today is one place where identities are formed and re-formed along with other communication networks including the established institutions of knowledge and culture in our society.…”

Each year, at the start of the winter semester, undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff, and invited guests come together to take part in the annual Collaborative Exercise (CEx) held at the Department of Architectural Science at Ryerson University. The five-day event challenges students to address an important contemporary issue. The intention of the exercise is to engage students to collaborate, think and design, while investigating a topic related to architecture and the built environment. Through this experience, students have the opportunity to work with students from other years in the Department’s program, to achieve a common design goal. The Collaborative Exercise ends with an exhibition at the Paul H. Cocker Gallery in the Ryerson University’s Architecture Building. This book showcases the outcomes of the 2014 Collaborative Exercise, entitled ‘Identi-city’ – Creating Second Generation Museums for Toronto.

“…64 Whereas in premodern societies, heresy was a deviation from more general situations of religious certainty, in modernity, heresy has become an ''imperative'': it is no longer merely a possibility, but a social necessity. 65 According to Berger, the ''heretical imperative'' is therefore ''a root phenomenon of modernity.'' While heresy had once been ''the occupation of marginal and eccentric types,'' it has now become one of the basic conditions of life: ''heresy has become universalized.''…”

is widely regarded as a forerunner of Lockean liberalism, and so of the political thought of the English Enlightenment. 1 Indeed, already in 1698, Milton's biographer John Toland had constructed a unified tradition of English liberalism running from Milton through Locke, and had exclaimed that ''nothing can be imagin'd more reasonable, honest, or pious'' than Milton's advocacy of religious toleration. 2 This picture of Milton as an ''apostle of toleration'' 3 has continued to shape interpretations of his place in intellectual history. Milton is viewed alternatively as an advocate of human rights, 4 as a proto-Habermasian thinker who conceptualizes the private sphere in distinction from a secular public sphere, 5 and as a writer who ''anticipates with a resounding magniloquence the principles of western liberalism articulated by John Locke and 1 I am grateful to Ian Hunter for discussions of this material, and to the two anonymous JHI readers for their valuable criticisms and suggestions. I am also indebted to the participants in the Contested Histories seminar at the University of Queensland's Centre for the History of European Discourses, where an earlier version of this paper was presented.
