Abstract:

Diaspora, one of the major disciplines in post-colonial studies, extensively deals with migration, displacement and its consequences. The idea of displacement tells that it may occur in two ways voluntary and involuntary. While involuntary (forced) displacement happens due to the natural calamities, political, social, religious turmoil and what not, voluntary displacement, more over psychologically, takes place due to mainly aspiration for better life, globalization and its offshoots. Though the displacement helped to have developments in all fields to the diasporic people as well as the peopl

Abstract:

Aspects of theory surrounding both narrative and reception of film is examined and interrogated. The structural analysis offered by Propp, among other theorists, and insights of psychoanalysis are considered to rework the Oedipal scenario. This paper draws on ideas around transgression and refers to aspects of Oedipus’s life which are largely ignored as the focus of psychic scenario. The narratives of two films. On the Wire and Mississippi Masala are examined in relation to contradictions surrounding their reception.

Thesis (MDram (Drama))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of this thesis is to study the themes of identity and belonging in the films of Mira Nair. Three films form the basis of this study namely Salaam Bombay!, Mississippi Masala and Monsoon Wedding. The approach is thematic, i.e using the film to explore different socio-political themes of identity rather than looking at the methodology she uses as a filmmaker. The analysis of each of the three films looks at a particular form of identity namely national, cultural or personal identity, and makes reference

Abstract:

In 1833, the abolition of slavery in the British Empire led to the import of exploited South Asian indentured workers in the Caribbean under extreme oppression. This book concentrates on the Indian descendants' processes of mixing, assimilating, and adapting while trying desperately to hold on to that which marks a group of people as distinct. In some ways, the lived experience of the Indian community in Guyana and Trinidad represents a cultural contradiction of belonging and non-belonging. In other parts of the Caribbean, people of Indian descent seem so absorbed by the more dominant African

Abstract:

This chapter discusses the emergence of Asian American literature and film about the South as they disrupt multiple narratives about race relations and racial subjectivity. It particularly studies Susan Choi's novel The Foreign Student (1998), Mira Nair's feature-length film Mississippi Masala (1992), and Paisley Rekdal's creative nonfiction collection of autobiographical essays, The Night My Mother Met Bruce Lee: Observations on Not Fitting In (2000). Asian American stories set in the South erupt the myth of imaginary lines between the past and present, arguing that the inclusion of Asian Ame

Abstract:

This chapter presents theoretical and historical sketches of Guyana and Trinidad. Both countries share a similar colonial history and ethnic makeup, with people of Indian descent representing 39.3 percent of the total population in Guyana and 35 percent in Trinidad. The focus on Trinidad and Guyana, then, stems from the social and political significance of the Indian communities in these countries. The problematic coexistence of the dominant African creole culture and Indian culture in the Caribbean is central to explaining the location of Indo-Caribbean populations within their particular soc

Abstract:

This chapter discusses the nexus between globalization, racial identity, and public policy in Trinidad. Specifically, it analyzes how racial identity can be used to contest public policies that are enacted to facilitate the globalization process. In the case of Trinidad, the foundation of racial identity was established in the colonial state with its race, class, and color hierarchy. Racial groupings were defined within this framework vis-à-vis other groups in society, and power was an essential element with respect to how those positions evolved. In a society such as Trinidad's, where race ha

Abstract:

This chapter examines the Matikor or “Dig Dutty” ritual in Guyana and Trinidad. The Dig Dutty/Matikor ritual is an important part of Hindu ethnic identity. It is central to the story of historical displacement and reterritorialization, and it is a testimony to the tenacity of a people for whom such practices have long been seen, by many in the Guyanese and Trinidadian communities at large, as backward, pagan, and even a bit coarse. In the face of modernization, the Matikor/Dig Dutty ritual has shown remarkable resilience. However, while modernity has not rendered Matikor/Dig Dutty irrelevant,

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on the lived, everyday experience of masculinity in Guyana. Indian men in Guyana, like other men in the region, have long lived with stereotypes about who they are and how they behave. Even as Indo-Guyanese men define their own masculinity, they are often viewed in different ways by society. In constructing their masculinity, men of Indian descent in Guyana are often forced to confront these stereotypes, which become embedded as racial markers in the context of a multiracial society, ultimately assuming political implications which in turn separate communities. Indeed, def

Abstract:

This chapter explores changing notions of masculinity among Indo-Trinidadian males as the processes of globalization and modernization intensify in Trinidad. Indo-Trinidadian men are redefining their own perceptions of masculinity and how it is portrayed and exhibited. Their redefinition, however, is contradictory. At times, it is in opposition to African Trinidadian masculinity, while at other times it appropriates some dimensions of that same masculinity. Sometimes it challenges the traditional Indo-Trinidadian patriarchy, and sometimes it reinforces certain dimensions of the same traditiona

Abstract:

This concluding chapter argues that creolization is not a linear process that leads to a more homogeneous society but rather a dialectical process that is negotiated along lines of race, class, and gender. The fact that Indo-Guyanese and Indo-Trinidadians are expressing their differences does not negate the creolization process. Many see creolization as a movement toward one homogeneous culture that has elements of all previous cultural influences. However, creolization is a dialectical process whereby multiple changing cultures exist side by side, each reformulating elements within their resp

Abstract:

La formación de tapones de sal, i.e., bloqueo al intercambio de agua en estuarios, suele estar atribuida a estuarios de flujo reducido cuando su tasa de evaporación excede o es similar a la tasa de aporte de agua dulce. Datos mensuales y anuales en este estudio mostraron un tapón de sal formado por un pulso de agua dulce procedente de la plataforma oceánica hacia la entrada de una bahía somera, bahía de Barataria, localizada en el delta del rio Mississippi. Un mes de datos de corrientes mostró dos patrones predominantes: una circulación verticalmente homogénea y una circulación bidireccional.
