  • The Postcolonial Exotic: Marketing the Margins/Graham Huggan
    The Postcolonial Exotic Travel writing, it has been said, helped produce the rest of the world for a Western audience. Could the same be said more recently of postcolonial writing? In The Postcolonial Exotic, Graham Huggan examines some of the processes by which value is attributed to postcolonial works within their cultural field. Using varied methods of analysis, Huggan discusses both the exoticist discourses that run through postcolonial studies and the means by which postcolonial products are marketed and domesticated for Western consumption. Global in scope, the book takes in everything from: • the latest ‘Indo-chic’ to the history of the Heinemann African Writers series; • the celebrity stakes of the Booker Prize to those of the US academic star system; • Canadian multicultural anthologies to Australian ‘tourist novels’. This timely and challenging volume points to the urgent need for a more carefully grounded understanding of the processes of production, dissemination and consumption that have surrounded the rapid development of the postcolonial field. Graham Huggan is Professor of English at the University of Munich. His publications include Territorial Disputes: Maps and Mapping Strategies in Contemporary Canadian and Australian Fiction (1994), and Peter Carey (1996).

Gilliland, Chair Portuguese colonial periodicals of 19th century India represent a rich source of information that might be used by scholars in comparative literature, history, post-colonial studies, and other humanities and social sciences-related disciplines. These periodicals are markers of modalities of colonial dominance and the ensuing hybridities that led to formation of the complex Indo-Portuguese identity (-ies) in the 19th century Indian sub-continent. Although the majority of these collections remain in India and Portugal, these periodicals also form a part of extensive South Asia collections held in academic libraries in the United States. These periodicals have often been overlooked as a source of information on the colonial milieu of 19th century India because access to them has been problematic for several reasons.

    ZESZYTY NAUKOWE UNIWERSYTETU RZESZOWSKIEGO SERIA FILOLOGICZNA ZESZYT 100/2018 STUDIA ANGLICA RESOVIENSIA 15(1) doi: 10.15584/sar.2018.15.1.6 Susheel Kumar SHARMA University of Allahabad [email protected] WHAT IS IN A NAME?: PROBLEMATIC OF ANGLO-INDIAN LITERATURE Abstract: Anglo-Indian Literature is not literature produced by or about Anglo-Indians but a distinct category of literature in English about India by the British. Many independent and appended Glossaries of Indian terms had also been published before George Clifford Whitworth’s An Anglo- Indian Dictionary (1885) as a prelude to this literature. Later, even Indians’ contributions in English were brought under this class. Scrutiny of several English and Indian historians’ take on this literature-type reveals that Anglo-Indian Literature has been changing its contours quite frequently. What is amazing is that even the names of this literature have been changing with time and the new avatars keep on taking place by embracing new genres / literatures / litterateurs. The term Anglo- Indian is used both as an adjective and a noun. It is heavily loaded as it points towards paternal lineage, colour, religion, culture, mind and the location of the author that distinguishes one from other British nationals. It was introduced as the official description of the Eurasian communities for the first time in 1882. Viceroy Charles Hardinge, in 1911, sanctioned the use of the term Anglo-Indian in the official census. An insight into the community’s history will certainly be helpful in understanding the cultural concerns of the community and issues in their literature. Confusion among the editors, literary historians and academic scholarship is no less responsible for the changing names and adopting the new ones for this hybrid literature.

  • 1 Revue De Presse Du 26 Mars Au 14 Avril 2020 Si Le Transport Aérien A
    1 Revue de presse du 26 mars au 14 avril 2020 Si le transport aérien a été frappé de plein fouet par l'effondrement du trafic, les effets du coronavirus ont mis quelques semaines de plus à se faire sentir dans l'industrie aéronautique. Personne ne doutait que cette crise sanitaire allait avoir des conséquences à moyen terme sur les commandes, les livraisons, le rythme de production..., mais la célérité de la propagation du virus en Europe et les mesures de confinement décidées par une partie des gouvernements ont accéléré le cours de l'histoire. Certes, les acteurs de l'aéronautique - en France du moins - avaient commencé à préparer la mise en place de mesures pour le télétravail, la distanciation des employés, voire la séparation des équipes. Jusqu'au 15 mars environ, tout semblait réuni pour que l'industrie continue de tourner. Le confinement total annoncé le 16 mars puis effectif le lendemain midi a tout changé. Il n'en fallait pas moins pour jeter le doute sur le niveau des mesures prises, notamment pour la protection des fonctions de production très exposées et non éligibles au télétravail. Plusieurs syndicats ont rapidement exigé un arrêt total et immédiat du travail pour protéger les salariés. Une mesure extrême, sans doute indispensable, à laquelle les industriels se sont résolus avec plus ou moins de bonne volonté. L'enjeu est désormais la reprise du travail dans des conditions sanitaires satisfaisantes. Si la santé des personnes doit rester la priorité absolue, directions comme syndicats savent qu'ils ne doivent pas tarder à s'accorder sous peine de compromettre l'avenir des entreprises.

  • Bata Shoe Organization (Also Known As the Bata Shoe Company and Bata Limited), Toronto
    MS COLL 00686 BATA SHOE COMPANY CREATOR: Bata Shoe Organization (also known as the Bata Shoe Company and Bata Limited), Toronto. DATES OF CREATION: [189-?]-2014. PHYSICAL STORAGE: Downsview Offsite Storage; OVS in Basement 1B and 2B Annex. EXTENT: 282 bankers boxes of textual, visual and audio-visual records (plus 19 flat/oversize boxes, and items on shelf). SCOPE AND CONTENT: Includes corporate files from the Canadian Bata Shoe Company (including correspondence; legal and financial records; product development, marketing and promotional files; technical and production-related files, and human resources files). The bulk of the material was created by the Canadian Bata company, however many records relate to several of the oraganization’s international outposts, including companies headed in Africa, India, Asia and Europe. The collection also includes press clippings and other publications about the Bata Company and its historical significance. There are also a small number of Bata family records, primarily for Thomas J. Bata (1914-2008), Sonja I. Bata, Tomáš Baťa (1876- 1932) and Marie Bata. The collection is comprised of textual records, digital records, photographs and slides, as well as a large volume of audio-visual material: audio recordings on magnetic tape reels and cassette tapes, and video recordings on DVD, VHS, Beta, and U-matic tapes, as well as 8mm, 16mm, and 35mm film. ARCHIVAL HISTORY: The material in this collection was selected, gathered and described over a period of several years by Bata employees and professional archivists hired by the company as part of their internal Bata Archives Canada initiative. Many records have been excluded and, at various points, rearranged, thus this collection should not be considered a complete archive of the Canadian Bata Shoe Company.

  • 5. Recognising Cascades in India and Kashmir
    5 Recognising cascades in India and Kashmir Diverse cascades This chapter suggests that neither a ‘healing touch’ (Ahmed 2010) nor a determined Indian effort to broker a political solution, either in Kashmir or with Pakistan, has ever been accomplished by Indian policy, including during the thaw of 2002–07. Generations of lives have been lost to military overreaction and political underreaction. It shows how the communal violence of the Partition of India cascaded into violence inside Kashmir, into interstate war and to wave upon wave of insurgency across 68 years. The first interstate war cascaded to four more wars in the next half-century. This quickly cascaded to northern Pakistan becoming a training centre for violent jihad in Kashmir, then in Afghanistan and then in Indian Punjab (where Sikhs were dragged into communal conflict, then civil war). This then cascaded to attacks on Indian parliaments and cities and, globally, to diffusion of violent jihad to Indonesia, Chechnya, Britain and beyond. The most deadly cascade in this case is from interstate war to internal insurgency, particularly to Indian military violence against Kashmiri civilians, which cost several times the number of lives of all the interstate wars across the Kashmir border. The most worrying cascade is to nuclear brinksmanship in the gaming of the conflict by the Pakistani military, in particular, and to a nuclear terrorism risk in Pakistan. Our research in 177 CASCAdeS of VioLenCe Kashmir reveals a diversity of less visible cascades down to the creation of organised criminal gangs, assassination of alleged informers, a personal revenge culture, a gun culture, a rape culture, a culture of torture1 and an anomic culture in which domestic violence, crime and suicide have escalated.

  • Workshop on “Canadian Diaspora in India: Policy Implications for Canada”
    Event: Workshop on Canadian Diaspora in India: Policy Implications for Canada Participants: 26 government officials, academics, business and NGO representatives Location: University of the Fraser Valley, Abbotsford, BC. Date: July 7, 2008 Main conclusions: It was observed that a limited number of Indo-Canadians are moving back to India with Canadian citizenship. While limited, this movement raises a wide-ranging set of policy issues which can only be identified by further research. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Workshop on the Canadian Diaspora in India: Policy Implications for Canada Summary Report Prepared by the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada Introduction The Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada and the Centre for Indo-Canadian Studies at the University of the Fraser Valley jointly hosted a half-day workshop entitled Canadian Diaspora in India: Policy Implications for Canada on July 7, 2008 in Abbotsford, BC. India is Canada’s second largest immigrant source country with an average annual inflow of approximately 30,000 newcomers from India, or 12% of Canadian immigrant inflows (CIC, 2007). This has led to an Indo-Canadian community of over 1 million in Canada (Census, 2006). However, the size and other characteristics of the population of Canadian citizens living in India are not well documented. The purpose of this workshop was to provide a forum for an initial discussion of Canada’s diaspora community in India and its potential economic political, security and cultural impacts. The workshop is also part of APF Canada’s three-year project on Canadians Abroad and Transnational Migration which is supported by Citizenship and Immigration Canada, the BC Government and the Gordon Foundation.
