This work has not previously formed the basis for the award of any degree, diploma or certificate of this or any other university. 26 December 2019 FREDERICO NOEL JOHN NORONHA iii ABSTRACT Goa was home to the first movable type printing press in Asia, set up in the year 1556. This thesis aims to explain the growth and decline of the printed text in the region while focussing on the book in twentieth-century Goa in particular. Literature in Goa was shaped by a range of diverse factors, often distant from the writing process itself and beyond the control of the author. This is evident from an examination of the publishing and printing sectors; technology available, deployed or lacking; economic options available to get books into print; political changes of the era; the shifting dominance of different languages; the vast global or limited regional market available for information or creativity; and other such factors. While non-literary factors in the creation of the literature of Goa are focussed on, book publishing in the region is sought to be situated within the context of the Core-Periphery theory, which offers a framework to understand changes in the role that the region has played in the world of the printed word. A background to Goa, and its wider context across past centuries offers insights into what shaped the fate of the printed word. Subsequent chapters of the thesis look at the roles played by policies, printers and publishers; the author’s position and reading in a small society; the role of the diaspora in shaping Goan literature; and the impact of language shifts in shaping the writing of Goa. Four appendices give additional background to framing the issue. iv TO THE UNSUNG HEROES OF THE WORLD OF THE BOOK — PRINTERS AND PUBLISHERS, IN GOA ESPECIALLY, FROM 1556 TO DATE — FOR THE LONG HOURS SPENT, ACKNOWLEDGED (IF AT ALL) ONLY IN THE FINE PRINT OF THEIR SELDOM MENTIONED WORK, FOR THEIR ATTEMPTS TO KEEP THE WOR(L)DS OF KNOWLEDGE AND CREATIVITY FLOWING Contents Abstract iv List of Tables x List of Figures xi 1.

They are the destination, and the journey. They are home. —Anna Quindlen, b.1952. American author, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, opinion columnist, author of How Reading Changed My Life. Introduction The printed word is often taken for granted in the realm of literature. Yet, it is the printed word that is the very material basis for, and a precondition to, the creation and existence of literature as we know it. It is the glue that makes it possible for our ideas and thoughts to be preserved and to proliferate. Many a writer has made, or lost, a reputation depending on the efficacy of the mechanics of how their thoughts were processed. This holds not just in terms of the actual technology available and used in the publishing of books, but also in terms of the economics and politics that this complex process has had to contend with, its positioning in the global marketplace of ideas, and other related concerns. This study emerges from that perspective, as well as from a long personal interest, fascination and dependence in multiple ways on the ‘hardware’ that has made possible the existence of powerful words and ideas. Goa itself has played a significant role in the history of print in Asia; it was home to the first Gutenberg-style movable type printing press in the entire continent. This press reached here way back in 1556, although it arrived in Goa accidentally when it failed to reach its intended destination of Abyssinia, current-day Ethiopia (Windmuller-Luna 239-240). The contribution of this thesis: The contribution of this thesis lies in building an understanding of writing from Goa, by mapping prominent developments in the world of the book since the mid-sixteenth century in general, but with a focus on the twentieth century in particular. It reviews the non-literary influences and factors that have shaped the literature of the region. The thesis also applies the Core-Periphery theory to the world of book production and distribution, involving the region under study. For this study, a case-study has been conducted of writing from twentieth-century Goa. To situate the wider context, a timeline of the history of the book in Goa and among its diaspora is included. Likewise, a tabular comparison of the histories of Goa, Portugal and India, attempts to contrast such developments vis-à-vis the literary developments of Goa.

  • Women´S Writing and Writings on Women In
    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.

  • Amar Chitra Katha and the Construction of Indian Identities
    Karline McLain, Asian Studies The University of Texas at Austin AIIS Dissertation Proposal 2000 Whose Immortal Picture Stories?: Amar Chitra Katha and the Construction of Indian Identities Karline McLain Abstract: Amar Chitra Katha (“Immortal Picture Stories”), the leading Indian comic book series, enjoys a ubiquitous presence among the urban middle-class in India and the South Asian diaspora. These comic books provide a unique opportunity for the study of the definition and negotiation of a modern middle-class Indian identity, as the multiplicity of intended and received messages of the comics can be examined by studying both their creation and consumption in conjunction with a careful reading of the content. My project will challenge traditional approaches to public culture which typically focus on either creation or consumption, one at the expense of the other, by viewing both as active and contested processes which together act with text and image to continually recreate and transform identities. Furthermore, my project will engage identity formation – particularly the formation of religious identities – on both the national and transnational levels and examine the tensions between them. Background: Amar Chitra Katha has dominated the flourishing comic book market since its inception in 1967, selling over 436 titles and more than 78 million issues. Anant Pai, founder of the comics, conceived of them as a means of teaching “Indian themes and values” to western- educated Indian children who knew western history at the purported expense of Indian history and mythology. Hence the comics, which are first produced in English and then translated into Hindi and other languages according to demand, can be loosely grouped into two categories: mythologicals and historicals.

  • The Religious Lifeworlds of Canada's Goan and Anglo-Indian Communities
    Brown Baby Jesus: The Religious Lifeworlds of Canada’s Goan and Anglo-Indian Communities Kathryn Carrière Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the PhD degree in Religion and Classics Religion and Classics Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Kathryn Carrière, Ottawa, Canada, 2011 I dedicate this thesis to my husband Reg and our son Gabriel who, of all souls on this Earth, are most dear to me. And, thank you to my Mum and Dad, for teaching me that faith and love come first and foremost. Abstract Employing the concepts of lifeworld (Lebenswelt) and system as primarily discussed by Edmund Husserl and Jürgen Habermas, this dissertation argues that the lifeworlds of Anglo- Indian and Goan Catholics in the Greater Toronto Area have permitted members of these communities to relatively easily understand, interact with and manoeuvre through Canada’s democratic, individualistic and market-driven system. Suggesting that the Catholic faith serves as a multi-dimensional primary lens for Canadian Goan and Anglo-Indians, this sociological ethnography explores how religion has and continues affect their identity as diasporic post- colonial communities. Modifying key elements of traditional Indian culture to reflect their Catholic beliefs, these migrants consider their faith to be the very backdrop upon which their life experiences render meaningful. Through systematic qualitative case studies, I uncover how these individuals have successfully maintained a sense of security and ethnic pride amidst the myriad cultures and religions found in Canada’s multicultural society. Oscillating between the fuzzy boundaries of the Indian traditional and North American liberal worlds, Anglo-Indians and Goans attribute their achievements to their open-minded Westernized upbringing, their traditional Indian roots and their Catholic-centred principles effectively making them, in their opinions, admirable models of accommodation to Canada’s system.
