  • The Case of Goa, India
    109 ■ Article ■ The Formation of Local Public Spheres in a Multilingual Society: The Case of Goa, India ● Kyoko Matsukawa 1. Introduction It was Jurgen Habermas, in his Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere [1991(1989)], who drew our attention to the relationship between the media and the public sphere. Habermas argued that the public sphere originated from the rational- critical discourse among the reading public of newspapers in the eighteenth century. He further claimed that the expansion of powerful mass media in the nineteenth cen- tury transformed citizens into passive consumers of manipulated public opinions and this situation continues today [Calhoun 1993; Hanada 1996]. Habermas's description of historical changes in the public sphere summarized above is based on his analysis of Europe and seems to come from an assumption that the mass media developed linearly into the present form. However, when this propo- sition is applied to a multicultural and multilingual society like India, diverse forms of media and their distribution among people should be taken into consideration. In other words, the media assumed their own course of historical evolution not only at the national level, but also at the local level. This perspective of focusing on the "lo- cal" should be introduced to the analysis of the public sphere (or rather "public spheres") in India. In doing so, the question of the power of language and its relation to culture comes to the fore. 松 川 恭 子Kyoko Matsukawa, Faculty of Sociology, Nara University. Subject: Cultural Anthropology.

    RJPSSs Vol 42 No 1 2016 ISSN: (P) 0048-7325 (e) 2454-7026 THE LANGUAGE MOVEMENT OF GOA: PAROCHIAL UNDERPINNING AND INSTRUMENTAL CONCERNS *Dr. Joanna Coelho Department of Sociology Goa University [email protected] Abstract: One of the first challenges that threatened the unity of the newly formed Indian nation state was language. With a record of more than 1600 languages, questions of language dominance and contestations were a natural consequence. The situation got heightened with the administrative decision of the Indian State in 1957, to redraw the territorial boundaries of the Indian State on linguistic lines. This opened the floodgates for a series of language movements. The language movement in Goa was one such movement. This paper provides the trajectory of the Konkani language movement in Goa. Based on secondary sources got form books and newspaper accounts, as well as personal interviews with the various players of the Konkani movement this paper attempts to articulate the confluence of language, caste, religion and politics that converged in the language movement in Goa. Keywords: Language, language movement, public sphere, parochial Goa was liberated from Portuguese colonial rule on 19 December 1961. Immediately after Liberation, Goa began the process of integrating with the mainland, from which it had been cut off for over four hundred and fifty years. Goa, like any other unit of the Indian Union, had to experience the process of nation building which was couched in religious, ethnic, and linguistic nuances. While in the early years of Independence, religion posed a grave threat to the making of „India‟, issues pertaining to language soon became a major challenge for nation building.

  • Translation Culture in the West Zone Prashanti Talpankar Associate
    Translation Culture in the West zone Prashanti Talpankar Associate Professor, Dnyanprasarak Mandals College and Research Centre. Introduction Translation “is the communication of the meaning of a source language text by means of an equivalent target language text.”(Wikipedia). It means that the correct and understandable version of the content from source language has to be carried into target language without losing the essence of the original. (Dr Shiben Krishen Raina, 2007) Hence the skill of Translation is an art and also a craft. India is a country of diversity with multiplicity of cultures as well as languages. Our country has 22 languages recognized in the eighth schedule of the constitution, 15 different scripts, hundreds of mother-tongues and thousands of dialects. One can very well say that India's is a translating consciousness and the very circumstances of their real existence and the conditions of their every day communication have turned Indians bilingual if not multilingual. One can even add without exaggeration that India would not have been a nation without translation and we keep translating almost unconsciously from our mother-tongues when we converse with people who use a language different from ours. Translation has helped this diverse India to be linked together throughout her history. (K. Satchidanandan, 2011). If we take into consideration the multilingual nature of our country, it is amply clear that translation must have been part and parcel of the ancient Indian psyche as the cross section of the population had their business interest, relationships by marriage, needs of the conquerors and the conquered. This culture seems to have continued till date.
