Pessoa's Names
JOHN FROW “A Nonexistent Coterie”: Pessoa’s Names A narrative begins at the end of a journey, at a place where “the sea ends and the earth begins. It is raining over the colorless city. The waters of the river are polluted with mud, the riverbanks flooded. A dark vessel, the Highland Brigade, ascends the somber river and is about to anchor at the quay of Alcântara.”1 A passenger disembarks, a certain Doctor Ricardo Reis, aged 48, born in Oporto and arriving from Rio de Janeiro, as we learn when he signs the register at the Hotel Bragança. He has returned to Lisbon after receiving a telegram from a fellow poet, Álvaro de Campos, informing him of the death of their friend Fernando Pessoa. Reading through the newspaper archives, Dr Reis finds an obituary that reports that Pessoa died “in silence, just as he had always lived,” and it adds that “[i]n his poetry he was not only Fernando Pessoa but also Álvaro de Campos, Alberto Caeiro, and Ricardo Reis. There you are,” the narrator continues, an error caused by not paying attention, by writing what one misheard, because we know very well that Ricardo Reis is this man who is reading the newspaper with his own open and living eyes, a doctor forty-eight years of age, one year older than Fernando Pessoa when his eyes were closed, eyes that were dead beyond a shadow of a doubt. No other proofs or testimonies are needed to verify that we are not dealing with the same person, and if there is anyone who is still in doubt, the narrator persists, let him go to the Hotel Bragança and check with the manager, a man of impeccable credentials (23-24). -
A Transgender's Journey
Journal of Teaching and Research in English Literature An international peer-reviewed open-access journal [ISSN: 0975-8828] Volume 9 – Number 2 – April 2018 Struggle for Existence and Marginalization of the Third Gender in I am Vidya: A Transgender’s Journey Twinkle Dasari [ELTAI Short-term Member – 30015351] Ph.D. Research Scholar, Acharya Nagarjuna University, Andhra Pradesh, India. Email: [email protected] Received: 18 March 2018 Peer-reviewed: 3 April 2018 Resubmitted: 4 April 2018 Accepted: 10 April 2018 Published Online: 30 April 2018 ABSTRACT Gender and sexuality are socially constructed and not natural. Sex is the polarity of anatomy whereas gender is the polarity of appearance and behaviour. Whenever a discussion of gender is presented it mainly takes place about two genders i.e., male and female. The word ‘gender identity’ too might lead one towards feminism. However, there is another gender which is often neglected. It is the third gender i.e., transgenders who are a complex and internally varied group mostly male born and a few biologically intersex persons, who cross-dress and may or may not undergo voluntary castration. The existence of the third gender is as natural as the existence of male or female. But transgenders are looked down with ridicule, disrespect and are marginalized in the society. The present paper is an attempt to analyse the struggle for existence and marginalization of transgenders in the autobiography of Living Smile Vidya, I am Vidya: A Transgender's Journey. KEYWORDS Gender; Identity; Third Gender; Transgenders; Struggle for Existence; Marginalization Living Smile Vidya also known as in documentaries “Aghrinaigal” and smiley is an Indian trans-woman, actress, “Butterfly”. -

Fernando Pessoa, Poet, Publisher, and Translator
FERNANDO PESSOA, POET, PUBLISHER, AND TRANSLATOR R. W. HOWES FERNANDO PESSOA is widely considered to be the greatest Portuguese poet of the twentieth century and a major writer of European stature. His enigmatic personality and the potent combination of poetic genius and metaphysics in his verse have fascinated a wide variety of readers both in Portugal and abroad. His invention of heteronyms, or alter egos, poets of his own creation who conducted a poetic 'drama in people', has found a response in the anxieties of the twentieth century, while the innovations in his poetic style, partly influenced by his fluency in English, have revolutionized modern Portuguese poetry. Pessoa published a relatively small proportion of his work during his lifetime, much of it in ephemeral periodical publications. He left behind a trunk full of manuscript poems and fragments of verse into which successive researchers have delved to produce a seemingly inexhaustible supply of'unpublished' writings. This has tended to divert attention from a detailed study of the works which he did publish while alive. ^ The British Library is fortunate to possess copies of all five of the volumes of Fernando Pessoa's verse which were published in his lifetime as well as some of the periodicals in which he published contributions, together with various other publications associated with him. These help to illuminate not only the bibliographical history of Pessoa as a poet but also his activities as a publisher and translator. They provide too an interesting illustration of the complex way in which a large research library's collections are built up, even where the works of a relatively modern author are concerned. -
Religious Traditions in Modern South Asia
Downloaded by [University of Defence] at 01:29 24 May 2016 Religious Traditions in Modern South Asia This book offers a fresh approach to the study of religion in modern South Asia. It uses a series of case studies to explore the development of religious ideas and practices, giving students an understanding of the social, politi- cal and historical context. It looks at some familiar themes in the study of religion, such as deity, authoritative texts, myth, worship, teacher traditions and caste, and some of the key ways in which Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam and Sikhism in South Asia have been shaped in the modern period. The book points to the diversity of ways of looking at religious traditions and considers the impact of gender and politics, and the way religion itself is variously understood. Jacqueline Suthren Hirst is Senior Lecturer in South Asian Studies at the University of Manchester, UK. Her publications include Sita’s Story and Śaṃkara’s Advaita Vedānta: A Way of Teaching.

Encoding, Visualizing, and Generating Variation in Fernando Pessoa's
Encoding, Visualizing, and Generating Variation in Fernando Pessoa’s Livro do Desassossego Manuel Portela and António Rito Silva Abstract: One of the goals of the LdoD Digital Archive is to show Pessoa’s Book of Disquiet as a network of potential authorial intentions and a conjectural construction of its successive editors. Our digital repre- sentation of the dynamics of textual and bibliographical variation depends on both XML encoding of variation sites (deletions, additions, substitutions, etc.) and metatextual information concerning authorial and editorial witnesses (date, order, heteronym, etc.). While TEI-XML markup may be considered as a particular kind of critical apparatus on its own, it is through visualization tools and graphical interface that users will be able to engage critically with the dynamics of varia- tion in authorial and editorial witnesses. Besides representation of textual and bibliographical variation in the work’s genetic and edito- rial history, the LdoD Digital Archive will enable readers to generate new virtual forms of the work, assuming the roles of editor and/or author. Our paper discusses the theoretical and technical aspects of the various strategies adopted for encoding, visualizing, and generating variation in the LdoD Digital Archive. These issues are discussed with the support of a prototype currently under development. Keywords: Fernando Pessoa, digital archive, social edition, TEI-encoding, visual- ization, variants, variation Fernando Pessoa’s Livro do Desassossego (Book of Disquiet) is an unfinished book project.1 Pessoa wrote more than five hundred texts meant for this work between 1913 and 1935, the year of his 1 “Nenhum Problema Tem Solução: Um Arquivo Digital do Livro do Desas- sossego” [No Problem Has a Solution: A Digital Archive of the Book of Disquiet] is a research project of the Centre for Portuguese Literature at the University of Coimbra (2012‒2015), funded by FCT (Foundation for Science and Technology). -
The Transgender Question in India: Policy and Budgetary Priorities
About Praxis Praxis - Institute for Participatory Practices is an NGO specializing in participatory approaches to sustainable development which aims to enable excluded people to have an active and influential say in equitable and sustainable development. Praxis is committed to mainstreaming the voices of the poor and marginalized sections of society in the process of development. This stems from the belief that for development to be sustainable, the process must be truly participative. Praxis acknowledges that ‘participation’ is not a technical or a mechanical process that can be realized through the application of a set of static and universal tools and techniques, but rather a political process that requires challenging the existing power structure. Thus, for Praxis, the community is not seen as an object but rather as an agent of change. It endeavours to work towards participatory democracy through social inclusion, public accountability and good governance. The primary focus is democratization of development processes.

Resistance is bi-dimensional, carried out both through reading and writing of texts and may be applied to a gamut of discourses such as: colonial discourse, imperial culture, gender issues, caste and class differences, imbalances due to cultural clashes and so on. Resistance has existed as long as human history and culture that it attempts to counter and will continue to exist as long as civilisation does. -
The Lonesome Death of Bridget Furey Or: Pessoa Down Under
ka mate ka ora: a new zealand journal of poetry and poetics Issue 17 October 2019 The Lonesome Death of Bridget Furey or: Pessoa Down Under Jack Ross The Dead this is the war I lost a woman versus three poets – Bridget Furey, ‘Brag Art’ (brief 7 (1997): 31) New Zealand poet Bridget Furey flickered into existence for a brief moment between the late 1980s and 1990s. Her contributor’s bio in Landfall 168 (1988), describes her as ‘22 years of age. Recently returned from an extended working holiday overseas; presently living and working in Dunedin.’ That would put her date of birth sometime around 1966. Her next, and final, contributor note, in A Brief Description of the Whole World 7 (1997), says simply: ‘Bridget Furey has just returned to Dunedin after a stint overseas.’ (brief 56) The rest, it would appear, is silence. In her brief period in the limelight, Furey contributed three poems – ‘Ricetta per Critica,’ ‘The Idea of Anthropology on George Street,’ and ‘The Book-Keepings of a Ternary Mind in Late February’ – to our most celebrated literary periodical, Landfall. And another, ‘Brag Art,’ which must now be regarded as her swansong, to its antithesis, the avant-garde quarterly A Brief Description of the Whole World. Out of curiosity, I spent some time recently trying to track down an image of Bridget Furey. I drew a blank in the local repositories, but the photograph opposite, taken by Alen MacWeeney and dated ‘Loughrea, 1966,’ though clearly not of the poet herself (unless she was unusually prone to concealing information about her age) may come, perhaps, from some cognate branch of the family? Loughrea is in County Galway, Ireland. -
