Ms. Leanora Pereira Madeira Research Student Department of English Goa University, Taleigao Plateau, Goa. India-403206 Date: August 2020 iii Acknowledgement The path God creates for each one of us is unique. I bow my head to the Almighty acknowledging him as the Alpha and the Omega and Lord of the Universe. Gratitude is too lukewarm a word to describe the appreciation for my guide and mentor Dr. Nina Caldeira. This vision could not materialize without her genius and acumen. To my vision she added clarity of thought and direction. Even though she was loaded with responsibilities as Dean of Faculty and Head of Department, she humanely made time for me. To the skeleton of my findings she added the skin of finesse. Beyond doubt she is one of the best theorist Goa has ever had. Her patience and guidance have given this work the credibility it deserves. My deep gratitude to the Department of English, Goa University, while pursuing my Master’s and PhD degrees. Dr. Prof Kiran Budkuley, Dr. Prof Sripad Bhat, Dr. Prof Nina Caldeira, and Dr. Prof Rafael Fernandes have taken the English Department to unbeatable heights. Although, I have studied in three different boards/ Universities, and even worked in world renowned institutions, this team has constantly impressed and inspired me. I would never exchange this experience for anything in the world. Their proficiency, intellectualism, ability to impart knowledge, and above all their integrity is incomparable. This thesis would not be possible without the inputs of writers like Tony Fernandes (Canada), Ben Antao (Canada), Mel D’souza (Canada), Selma Carvalho, (UK), Victor Rangel Ribeiro (USA), Antonio Gomes (USA) and Damodar Mauzo (Goa). A special thanks to my V.C.’s Nominee Dr. Prema Rocha (St. Xavier’s College). Even though an intellectual, she is always conscientious about her responsibilities. Truly, she is a guiding force for students and professors alike. My greatest treasure is my family. I thank my husband for his constant support and my children for their prayers. My parents have always been my driving force and my strength. I thank them for their blessings.

Together with the publication of books, novels and journals, various conferences on Diaspora have also been held. People of almost all societies have part of their family or friends in Diaspora. Initially, Diaspora was a term associated with the Jewish Exodus. Later, it also included the Greek and Armenian Diaspora. In contemporary times, each community has a strong presence in Diaspora. Some prominent Diasporas are the Chinese, Italian, French, Caribbean, Spanish, etcetera. These various Diasporic communities have broadened the connotations of the term Diaspora. Closer to home, we have the Indian Diaspora which has the distinction of being the largest Diaspora in 2019. According to The Economic Times, dated September 18, 2019, the Indian Diaspora consists of a total of 17.5 million international migrants followed by Mexico (11.8) and China (10.7). Taking into consideration the cultural diversities in India, the Indian Diaspora is again divided into sub-groups such as the Tamil, Punjabi, Gujarati and Goan, to name a few. The late nineteenth century, twentieth century and the twenty-first century have all witnessed large scale emigration of indentured and contract laborers, traders, professional and skilled workers. The post 1960s witnessed a monumental rise in migratory movement. “The number of international migrants rose from 75 million in 1965 to 120 million in 1990. International migration contributed close to half the population growth in the developed countries and about 90 percent in Europe (United Nations, 1998: 96).” (Kadekar 2) The consequence of mass emigration has been the birth of Diasporic communities. Laxmi Narayan Kadekar emphasizes, “The present day global migration has produced transnational diasporic groups related by culture, ethnicity, language and religion” (3). The Goan Diaspora can be categorized into one such transcultural groups. Developments in travel and cyberspace have insured close interactions between the Goans in different communities around the globe and again between these global Goans and Goans at home. These transnational communications have created circulation of wealth, culture, technology, ideology and lifestyles. Diaspora as an emerging migratory experience creates a hybridized culture. Culture and cultural studies are both concerned with the development and evolution Madeira 2 of practices. A major part of Diasporic studies is also concerned with the evolution and development of new métissaged cultural practices. This establishes the significance of Diaspora as an important part of cultural studies. Conflicting between two or more cultures, lifestyles, socio-political upheavals and occupying a transnational space, Diasporics retain their heritage and sport their culture, thereby, creating a transnational Identitarian Space. The term ‘Identitarianism’ was used to describe a movement having its origin in France in the 1960s. Identitarianism is a term used to refer to a European New Right movement and its sympathizers. Identitarianism may have had its roots in France, but it spread to Scandinavia and other parts of Europe. Identitarianism advocates the preservation and development of ethnic and cultural identity as its central ideological principle. Therefore, it has its roots in Traditionalism. In his article “HNH explains… the Identitarian movement and the alt-right”, Joe Mulhall explains that Identitarianism “[I]s a metapolitical framework within which Identitarians work to influence political and socio-economic activity in an effort to protect and preserve racial, ethnic, and cultural identity.” (https://hopenothate.com/2017/10/31/hnh- explains-identitarian-movement-alt-) In the same article, Martin Sellner de facto spokesperson of Generation Identity says, “We want to preserve our national identity but in a way that is not chauvinistic, and in a way that is not considering others inferior or wanting to exterminate them. We want to preserve our ethno cultural identity, our traditions but not at the expense at others.” Identitarian Spaces are fluid spaces in which individuals can live their native identity.

    WOMEN´S WRITING AND WRITINGS ON WOMEN IN THE GOAN MAGAZINE O ACADÉMICO (1940– 1943)1 A ESCRITA DE MULHERES E A ESCRITA SOBRE MULHERES NA REVISTA GOESA O ACADÉMICO (1940 – 1943) VIVIANE SOUZA MADEIRA2 ABSTRACT: This article discusses some texts, written by women, as well as texts on women, written by men, in the Goan magazineO Académico (1940-1943). Even though O Académico is not particularly aimed at women’s readership, but at a broader audience – the “Goan youth” – it contains articles that deal with the question of women in the spheres of science, politics and literature. As one of the magazine’s objectives was to “emancipate Goan youth intellectually”, we understand that young women’s education was also within their scope, focusing on the question of women’s roles. The Goan intelligentsia that made up the editorial board of the publication revealed their desire for modernization by showing their preoccupation with forward-looking ideas and by providing a space for women to publish their texts. KEYWORDS: Women’s writing, Men writing on women, Periodical Press,O Académico, Goa. RESUMO: Este artigo discute textos escritos sobre mulheres, por homens e por mulheres, na revista goesa O Académico (1940-1943). Embora não tenha sido particularmente voltada as leitoras, mas a um público mais amplo – a “juventude goesa” – a revista contém artigos que abordam a questão da mulher nas esferas da ciência, da política e da literatura. Como um dos seus objetivos era “emancipar intelectualmente a juventude goesa”, entendemos que a educação das jovens de Goa estava no escopo da publicação, focando também na questão dos papéis que essas mulheres cumpriam em sua sociedade.

  • If Goa Is Your Land, Which Are Your Stories? Narrating the Village, Narrating Home*
    If Goa is your land, which are your stories? Narrating the Village, Narrating Home* Cielo Griselda Festinoa Abstract Goa, India, is a multicultural community with a broad archive of literary narratives in Konkani, Marathi, English and Portuguese. While Konkani in its Devanagari version, and not in the Roman script, has been Goa’s official language since 1987, there are many other narratives in Marathi, the neighbor state of Maharashtra, in Portuguese, legacy of the Portuguese presence in Goa since 1510 to 1961, and English, result of the British colonization of India until 1947. This situation already reveals that there is a relationship among these languages and cultures that at times is highly conflictive at a political, cultural and historical level. In turn, they are not separate units but are profoundly interrelated in the sense that histories told in one language are complemented or contested when narrated in the other languages of Goa. One way to relate them in a meaningful dialogue is through a common metaphor that, at one level, will help us expand our knowledge of the points in common and cultural and * This paper was carried out as part of literary differences among them all. In this article, the common the FAPESP thematic metaphor to better visualize the complex literary tradition from project "Pensando Goa" (proc. 2014/15657-8). The Goa will be that of the village since it is central to the social opinions, hypotheses structure not only of Goa but of India. Therefore, it is always and conclusions or recommendations present in the many Goan literary narratives in the different expressed herein are languages though from perspectives that both complement my sole responsibility and do not necessarily and contradict each other.

  • Chapter Twelve Jesuit Schools and Missions in The
    CHAPTER TWELVE JESUIT SCHOOLS AND MISSIONS IN THE ORIENT 1 MARIA DE DEUS MANSO AND LEONOR DIAZ DE SEABRA View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Missions in India brought to you by CORE provided by Repositório Científico da Universidade de Évora The Northern Province: Goa 2 On 27 th February 1540, the Papal Bull Regimini Militantis Eclesiae established the official institution of The Society of Jesus, centred on Ignacio de Loyola. Its creation marked the beginning of a new Order that would accomplish its apostolic mission through education and evangelisation. The Society’s first apostolic activity was in service of the Portuguese Crown. Thus, Jesuits became involved within the missionary structure of the Portuguese Patronage and ended up preaching massively across non-European spaces and societies. Jesuits achieved one of the greatest polarizations and novelties of their charisma and religious order precisely in those ultramarine lands obtained by Iberian conquest and treatises 3. Among other places, Jesuits were active in Brazil, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan and China. Their work gave birth to a new concept of mission, one which, underlying the Society’s original evangelic impulses, started to be organised around a dynamic conception of “spiritual conquest” aimed at converting to the Roman Catholic faith all those who “simply” ignored or had strayed from Church doctrines. In India, Jesuits created the Northern (Goa) and the Southern (Malabar) Provinces. One of their characteristics was the construction of buildings, which served as the Mission’s headquarters and where teaching was carried out. Even though we have a new concept of college nowadays, this was not a place for schooling or training, but a place whose function was broader than the one we attribute today.
