We visit parks where their dairies once stood (Vasona Park and Raging Waters), and we see their names on street signs. Another special presentation is on the remarkable pavements of the Portuguese world, the black and white mosaic-like stone designs of sidewalks and plazas. Two visitors from Portugal will display photos and a lovely new book on the calçadas (pavements).

CHAPTER I THE PORTUGUESE EMPIRE The boundaries Until well into the seventeenth century, as far as the Iberians were concerned, the way the world was divided and the role they were to play therein as champions of the church was clear-cut and straightforward. Already in the fifteenth century the rights of the Portuguese monarchs on the portus, insulas, terras et maria still to be conquered had been confirmed by Papal edicts. They bestowed the privilege to intrude into the countries of the Saracenes and heathens, to take them prisoner, take all their possessions and reduce them to eternal slavery. Derived from this right of conquest were the rights of legislation, jurisdiction and tribute and the monopolies of navigation, trade and fishing. Besides, the kings were allowed to build churches, cloisters and other holy places and to send clergy and other volunteers, to spread the true religion, to receive confessions and to give absolutions. Excommunication or interdiction were the penalties for Christians who violated these royal monopolies.1 As the Castilians were just as keen on the collection of slaves and gold and the overseas expansion of the mission, a clash of interests was inevitable.2 In 1479, the Castilians used the opportunity of king Afonso V's defeat, after he attempted to acquire the Castilian throne, to establish their rights on the Canary islands.

DEFINING GOAN IDENTITY: A LITERARY APPROACH by DONNA J. YOUNG Under the Direction of David McCreery ABSTRACT This is an analysis of Goan identity issues in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries using unconventional sources such as novels, short stories, plays, pamphlets, periodical articles, and internet newspapers. The importance of using literature in this analysis is to present how Goans perceive themselves rather than how the government, the tourist industry, or tourists perceive them. Also included is a discussion of post-colonial issues and how they define Goan identity. Chapters include “Goan Identity: A Concept in Transition,” “Goan Identity: Defined by Language,” and “Goan Identity: The Ancestral Home and Expatriates.” The conclusion is that by making Konkani the official state language, Goans have developed a dual Goan/Indian identity. In addition, as the Goan Diaspora becomes more widespread, Goans continue to define themselves with the concept of building or returning to the ancestral home. INDEX WORDS: Goa, India, Goan identity, Goan Literature, Post-colonialism, Identity issues, Goa History, Portuguese Asia, Official languages, Konkani, Diaspora, The ancestral home, Expatriates DEFINING GOAN IDENTITY: A LITERARY APPROACH by DONNA J.

  • NOTE : This Is a Pre-Final Version
    ** NOTE : This is a pre-final version. The published version can be found in: Elangayan, R. et al. (eds.). 2006. Proceedings of the FEL X , 23-30. Mysore: Central Institute of Indian Languages. ** --- Challenges to Indo-Portuguese across India Hugo C. Cardoso Universiteit van Amsterdam - Algemene Taalwetenschap Spuistraat 210, 1012 VT Amsterdam THE NETHERLANDS [[email protected]] Abstract This study contrasts the longevity of some Indo-Portuguese varieties with the consummated disappearance of others, to explore the challenges behind its present endangerment. Multilingualism alone is said not to pose a threat to the maintenance of minority languages unless the languages compete for the same domain(s) of usage or social function(s). Despite the territorial dispersion of Indo-Portuguese, data is primarily drawn from Diu, where it is shown that allegiance to (Indo-)Portuguese operates on different levels: a) Religion; b) Social status; c) Ideology; d) Age; e) Economic affluence; f) Education. Religion emerges as a central element, and is therefore an essential domain of intervention for preservation-oriented policies. A distinction is made between the challenges faced by Indo-Portuguese in areas of short-lived Portuguese rule (Cannanore or Korlai) and territories with a longer-standing colonial presence (Diu and Daman), in which Standard Portuguese enters the competitor pool alongside national and state languages (Hindi and Gujarati) or English. Given the status of Indo-Portuguese as a contact language, continuing co-existence with its lexifier and a conspicuous prestige differential between the two conspire to shape Diu Indo-Portuguese’s synchronic pattern of variation and to append an additional factor of endangerment to be separately addressed by policy-makers.
