    TURBANS AND TOP HATS Indian Interpreters in the Colony of Natal, 1880-1910 by PRINISHA BADASSY A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Social Science – Honours in the Department of Historical Studies, Faculty of Human Science, University of Natal 2002 University of Natal Abstract TURBANS AND TOP HATS Indian Interpreters in the Colony of Natal, 1880-1910 by PRINISHA BADASSY Supervised by: Professor Jeff Guy Department of Historical Studies This dissertation is concerned with an historical examination of Indian Interpreters in the British Colony of Natal during the period, 1880 to 1910. These civil servants were intermediaries between the Colonial State and the wider Indian population, who apart from the ‘Indentureds’, included storekeepers, traders, politicians, railway workers, constables, court messengers, teachers and domestic servants. As members of an Indian elite and the Natal Civil Service, they were pioneering figures in overcoming the shackles of Indenture but at the same time they were active agents in the perpetuation of colonial oppression, and hegemonic imperialist ideas. Theirs was an ambiguous and liminal position, existing between worlds, as Occidentals and Orientals.

  • The Evolution of the Film and Photography Industries
    Join us for a fascinating panel discussion that traces the trajectory and evolution of the Film and Photography Industries For Immediate Release Avid Learning presents The Changing Face of the Image: The Evolution of the Film and Photography Industries – a live session on how the image making industries of film and photography have changed and evolved – over the years – with the advent of newer technologies and the emergence of fresh artistic perspectives, philosophies and concepts. Award-winning Photographer and Installation Artist Samar Singh Jodha, Award-winning Filmmaker and Photographer Sooni Taraporevala and Oscar-nominated and Two-time National Award-winning Filmmaker Ashvin Kumar will be in conversation with Media Expert and ex-head of the SCM (Social Communications Media) Post-Graduate Course at Sophia Polytechnic Jeroo Mulla. Please read on for more details: Photography and film are two genres that share many synergies and which have both had an interesting history, first being connected to science and the various iterations and adaptations of light, then struggling to be recognized as fine art, and now, with the digital age, the concept of what these two fields entail is constantly changing as are the practitioners themselves. Our cell phones are now packing image making tools that surpass the technology of most digital cameras from fifteen years ago. The shift from analogue to digital photography has elicited diverse reactions from media scholars. While some have written the obituary of photography as the dominant visual medium of the modern world, other scholars see digitisation as merely a means for the continuation or enhancement of this dominant medium.

  • An Analysis of South Asian American Gendered Ethnicity Formation in Visual Media Portrayals
    Pardes vs. Swades: an Analysis of South Asian American Gendered Ethnicity Formation in Visual Media Portrayals Honors Research Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for graduation with Honors Research Distinction in Comparative Ethnic and American Studies in the Undergraduate Colleges of The Ohio State University By Andrew Philip and Tanya Srivastava The Ohio State University May 2014 Project Advisor: Professor Binaya Subedi, Department of Teaching & Learning 2 ABSTRACT: As the number of South Asian Americans in the United States grows, so does their presence in mainstream American media, their production of alternative sources of Asian American film, and their cachet to develop Indian film industry (Bollywood) abroad. All three sources of media employ and depict South Asian Americans in various portrayals; some have been noted to perpetuate patterns of representation around ethnic identification, gender roles, citizenship, and socio-cultural ties. The consumption trends and effects these South Asian American portrayals have on South Asian American second-generation youth is largely unknown. The purpose of this study is to collect data concerning the media consumption patterns of our defined population of South Asian American youth, and how they negotiate gendered portrayals of their ethnic compatriots in their formation of ethnic identity. Using socialization theories and other data from previous ethnographies of South Asian Americans, we employ online surveys and personal interviews geared towards monitoring the consumption of South Asian American media portrayals and their effects on how South Asian American youth view themselves and their community. Findings of this study are among the first in the field of South Asian American Studies to indicate how South Asian American media portrayals affect the growing number of South Asian American youth, and how the pervasive growth of South Asian American media portrayals may be affecting the gendered ethnic identity formation of youth who consume these types of media.

This appalling gap helps to explain why the adult literary mafia (as they're lov­ ingly known) are so ignorant of writers as successful as Robin Klein or Paul Jennings.
