Moving Spaces
Moving Spaces: Creolisation and Mobility in Africa, the Atlantic and Indian Ocean addresses issues of creolisation, mobility, and migration of ideas, songs, stories, and people, as well as plants, in various parts of Africa, the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean worlds. It brings together Anglophone, Francophone and Lusophone specialists from various fields – anthropology, geography, history, language & literary studies – from Africa, Brazil, Europe,…
From the Atlantic to the Indo-Pacific
In this paper I attempt to tackle the issues of creolisation, magic, and mimesis, as well as colonialism. I will approach this last via the the first three. I begin by discussing two travel and ethnographic accounts, and then a piece by Diderot. I also discuss Taussig’s work. My overall argument, following closely on the heels of Diderot’s and Taussig’s work, but also somewhat expanding them, is that writing ethnography or any account of ‘others’…
(Dis)connections in Macau and Melaka
What follows below is a preliminary attempt at reflexively bringing together two Lusophone field experiences, one in Macau and the other in Melaka, both ancient Portuguese colonial harbors in the Indian Ocean.1 I will concentrate on the issue of language, and then link it to some local narratives of identity and local histories. Languages in Macau and Melaka are important because they are a direct link to the past; provide an anchor to local iden…
The Muslim and Portuguese Indian Ocean
This chapter is an attempt to grapple with some aspects of a complex historical textual legacy in several languages, involving two regions of the Indian Ocean, namely the Western coast of India—especially the Konkan and Kerala or Malabar coasts in the Arabian Sea—and the Straits of Melaka. Moreover, it brings out the many intricate issues associated with a perusal, even of a superficial nature, of the origins and trajectories of some texts within…
Conclusion
This book has gone over an almost dizzying array of locales and historical figures, moreover one of great variety and scope. One of the points that comes out strongly in the preceding pages is the interplay between the perspectives of connected histories, on the one hand, and compared history, on the other. As Subrahmanyam (1997) has pointed out in a well-known essay, compared history presupposes a disconnection right from the start. This stateme…
Revisiting Creoles and Other Languages in the Lusophone Indian Ocean
This chapter approaches the issue of Indian Ocean connections from the point of view of Creole languages and Konkani, through scholarship and writing related to them. In particular, it highlights the possibilities partly opened up by the path-breaking work of Monsignor Sebastião Rodolpho Dalgado (1855–1922) in Goa, former Portuguese India, in the domain of, on the one hand, Konkani, and on the other, Indo-Portuguese and Ceylon (Sri Lankan) Creole…

This monograph is an exploration of the historical legacy of the Portuguese in the Indian Ocean, in particular in Goa, Macau, Melaka, and Malabar. Instead of fixing the gaze on either the colonial or
On not being able to read or speak Malayalam
This paper attempts to read aspects of language, history, and literariness historically from the perspective of both Brazil and Kerala. It is also an attempt to compare two very distinct places from within a framework centred on the South. Initially, region and nation are discussed, as well as modernity and development, and the issue of thinking South–South connections from an anthropological perspective. Next, the matter of the complex connected…
The demonstrative copulative or can that lady cook
This paper discusses some African language materials including books for learners, phrase books as well as grammars and dictionaries. The metalanguage created to explain African languages both to learners and scholars alike is very briefly analysed. Furthermore, it is shown that some of the materials contain more than a modicum of references to conditions of subalternity and servility imposed on speakers of African languages in the past. It is su…
