The Year the World Was Mine

An Anglophile Hits a Half Century

By: Rochelle Almeida

What happens when a pre-menopausal matron, afflicted with Anglophilia, leaves home and hearth to spend time working in her dream location, London, the same year she hits a chronological half-century? Bizarre encounters and hair-raising adventures come flying at her…that’s what! This fast-paced memoir chronicles an unusual year spent by an Indian-born professor from an American university who undertook field-research in the United Kingdom. In the process, she dodged a global fiscal crisis, was impacted by terrorist activity in her native Bombay, faced sudden homelessness, and coped with debilitating physical constraints caused by an excruciating foot ailment called plantar fasciitis. While she scours Europe during weekends as a footloose solo backpacker accumulating hilarious experiences among a motley lot in youth hostels, stalks royalty in their favorite stomping grounds, and becomes a coconspirator in helping an American friend find Mr. Right, the author provides a page-turning narrative about resilience and tenacity in the face of unexpected odds.

Britain's Anglo-Indians

The Invisibility of Assimilation

By: Rochelle Almeida

Anglo-Indians form the human legacy created and left behind on the Indian subcontinent by European imperialism. When Independence was achieved from the British Raj in 1947, an exodus numbering an estimated 50,000 emigrated to Great Britain between 1948–62, under the terms of the British Nationality Act of 1948. But sixty odd years after their resettlement in Britain, the “First Wave” Anglo-Indian immigrant community continues to remain obscure among India’s global diaspora. This book examines and critiques the convoluted routes of adaptation and assimilation employed by immigrant Anglo-Indians in the process of finding their niche within the context of globalization in contemporary multi-cultural Britain. As they progressed from immigrants to settlers, they underwent a cultural metamorphosis. The homogenizing labyrinth of ethnic cultures through which they negotiated their way—Indian, Anglo-Indian, then Anglo-Saxon—effaced difference but created yet another hybrid identity: British Anglo-Indianness. Through meticulous ethnographic field research conducted amidst the community in Britain over a decade, Rochelle Almeida provides evidence that immigrant Anglo-Indians remain on the cultural periphery despite more than half a century. Indeed, it might be argued that they have attained virtual invisibility—in having created an altogether interesting new amalgamated sub-culture in the UK, this Christian minority has ceased to be counted: both, among South Asia’s diaspora and within mainstream Britain. Through a critical scrutiny of multi-ethnic Anglophone literature and cinema, the modes and methods they employed in seeking integration and the reasons for their near-invisibility in Britain as an immigrant South Asian community are closely examined in this much-needed volume.

Dança moderna 1992-2022

By: Cassia Navas,Arnaldo Siqueira,Henrique Rochelle,Linneu Dias

Dança moderna 1992-2022 reúne textos do livro Dança moderna (1992) com escritos atualíssimos, incluindo imagens inéditas: as fotos da bailarina da Semana de Arte Moderna, evento que em 2022 teve seus cem anos festejados. Sob a curadoria editorial de Cássia Navas, os quatro artigos de 1922 permaneceram intactos: "As mães da modernidade" e "Klauss Vianna em São Paulo", de Cássia Navas, "As companhias estáveis" e "A experiência do Teatro de Dança no Galpão", de Linneu Dias. A eles juntam-se os capítulos: "Dança na Semana de Arte Moderna: importante desimportância", de Cássia Navas; "Dança em São Paulo hoje: continuidade e instabilidade, de 1992 a 2022", de Henrique Rochelle, e "Modernidade, dança no Recife", de Arnaldo Siqueira. Com isso, consolidam-se as escrituras da modernidade em dança (aqui incluídos o pós-moderno, o contemporâneo e até mesmo um "des-moderno" decolonial), desta vez para além de São Paulo, lançando-se uma mirada sobre a dança do Recife. A obra Dança Moderna 1992-2022 é uma realização do Programa de Ação Cultural-PROAC Mecenato Direto, por meio da Secretaria de Cultura, Economia e Indústria Criativa do Governo do Estado de São Paulo, em edital que contemplou a CÁSSIA NAVAS PRODUÇÕES CULTURAIS

English Nouns

The Ecology of Nominalization

By: Rochelle Lieber

Using extensive data from the Corpus of Contemporary American English (Davies, 2008), this groundbreaking book shows that the syntactic patterns in which English nominalizations can be found and the range of possible readings they can express are very different from what has been claimed in past theoretical treatments, and therefore that previous treatments cannot be correct. Lieber argues that the relationship between form and meaning in the nominalization processes of English is virtually never one-to-one, but rather forms a complex web that can be likened to a derivational ecosystem. Using the Lexical Semantic Framework (LSF), she develops an analysis that captures the interrelatedness and context dependence of nominal readings, and suggests that the key to the behavior of nominalizations is that their underlying semantic representations are underspecified in specific ways and that their ultimate interpretation must be fixed in context using processes available within the LSF.
