Johannes Guttenburgs’ printing press (1450) was a tool used to primarily move the standardization of thought against clerical rule on the medieval period via the Gutenburg Bible; influencing the printing of many bibles alike, standardizing language systems throughout Europe. These literary systems improve the ability of organisations countering clergy. Such as those of enlightenment and construct what becomes the political communication platform that great thinkers used to to begin an inquisition against the Catholic Church of which resulted in international nationalisation or independence of countries within the regions of the Holy Roman Empire.

The most printed books in the early stages of te medieval period were attempts at literary systems however the Guttenberg Bible was a legal collection of writings that enabled the people to reading the bible at home. Where the Guttenburg printing press was quintessentially important to the improvement of literary systems, the reformation occurred in a multitude of ways…. In understanding what the reformation is and what exactly contributes to the events of Europe's construction and transformation in systems of governance, there are imperatives in understanding its entirety.

From the structure of feudalism and monarchy brings forth governance of despotic, Catholic control. It is the reformation in thought against the belief system that first allows academic figures influence to question the boundaries of clerical rule and suggest towards an idealism of representative governance and democracy through dialect and constructivist produce of thought on reformation; enabling such appreciation for the debased position of unrest in feudalism society.

On Bennedict Andersons’ Imagined Communities.

Benedict Andersons' Imagined Communities;

What does he mean by imagined communities?

The ordain ideas of Andersons' depiction.

Imagined communities could refer to a number of different depictions. The community is a collection of like minded societal units that vary in size, a group of people living in the same place that have particular characteristic in common or a group of people practicing common ownership. Benedict Andersons' views on communities are that although they may be living together or share a particular characteristic, particular things create and destroy communities and from the initial circumstance of nationhood is the phenomena of nationalism that furthermore destroys and creates phenomena... community.

To begin, Anderson states that the nation is an imagined community because 'the members of even the smallest nation will never know of their fellow members.'-pg.6. Where these societal groups compile to make a nation exist together in the same boundaries, they may not be as one by the previous quotation and if not then we could presume for the nation to still be but not as a full harmonious system and so it's insinuated by his use of varying examples of Nationalisms that that the community is imagined. It's nationalism that's explained to affect the concept of community and nationhood and so ' "Nationalism" is the pathology of modern developmental history...'-pg.5. Thus the community is perhaps imagined in the initial circumstances of nationalisms however is only imagined since the fall of the Catholic Church and the people of the same boundaries not knowing one another.

Furthermore, communities are imagined unto their own depiction... Benedict Anderson then goes on to explaining that the nations communities are limited for its the ordain notions entailing their nationality that are bound and not so much the nations borders that are however they're also bound to a particularly limited area. 'No nation imagines itself coterminous with mankind.'-pg.7. With this being said, it's much rather the community that imagines it own boundaries through diktat or nationalism as these notions of border or religion aren't always pre-ordain.

Beyond Andersons' explanation; Media.

Though described are some notions of Benedict Andersons' explanation, there are many ideas that compile to the imagining of a community. These ideas aren't necessarily stated by the writer to be the imagining of a nation however do constitute towards the the paradox of community. The paradox being that between a sense of community and it being noticing more then a figure end of imagination.

Language and the standardisation of literary systems unify people until becoming a community. 'we're imaginable largely through the medium of sacred language and written script'-pg.13. This is exemplified in the Catholic Reformation and liturgy of ancient Egypt at the formation of the cult Osiris. These two examples of "pre-nations" show that with the use of common ideograph such as bibles or hieroglyphics; socio-religious communities such as the cults or the Protestants come to formation and political standing. These emerging communities perhaps couldn't communicate through language for even today England speaks three different regional dialects however, through memes, one can disseminate a message of which then standardises thought and language -thus evolving the language to a likeminded tongue. Visuals also enable the imagining of community. 'The figuring of imagined reality was overwhelming visual and aural'-pg.23. Communities such as the medieval Christian Europeans would hugely benefit as 'illiterate masses'-pg.23 without the ability to speak verbally, the decoration of stained glass would surely spark the christians' imagination...
