This book clarifies the crucial role of periodical press in the advance of colonial print cultures and public debates in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The Colonial Periodical Press in the Indian and Pacific Ocean Regions is a venture of the International Group for Studies of Colonial Periodical Press of the Portuguese Empire (IGSCP-PE), which also invests on comparative studies and conceptual discussions. Moving around urban shores of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, it approaches the crucial role of periodical press in the development of colonial print cultures and public debates in these regions. By being mostly focused on press from spaces and peoples under the domain of the Portuguese Empire, it addresses a bibliographical gap in international discussions moved by the field. The outcome reflects an investment in offering decentred and de-nationalized approaches to the colonial print cultures and press histories under study, working as a platform for regional dialogues and comparative perspectives. The studies presented allow a better understanding of transits and connections both of an imperial and of a trans-imperial nature, contributing to the consolidation of comparative approaches in the studies of European empires and colonialisms. This volume is indispensable for scholars and students in Media Studies, Modern History, Cultural Studies, Literary Studies and Political Science.

This book presents one of the first accounts of Christianity in colonial India by a nun. Set in Goa in the early eighteenth century, this translation of Soror Magdalena’s account from Portuguese brings to life a watershed moment in the politics of Christian faith in early colonial India. The volume recounts the nuns’ rebellion against the then Archbishop of Goa, Dom Frei Ignaçio de Santa Teresa. In their account they accused him of mistreating the nuns and implored the Superior General and the King of Portugal to replace him. It sketches the intricate relationships between the nuns themselves, the clerical and secular authorities, the fidalgos and the lower classes, Hindus and Catholics, and nuns and priests. It goes on to discuss the convent’s finances and the controversies surrounding them, the politics of the Church, as well as contemporary preoccupations with miracles and demons. Expertly annotated and introduced by Daniel Michon and David Addison Smith, this book is key to understanding Portuguese colonial rule in India. It will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of South Asian studies, Portuguese studies, religion, especially Christianity, and colonialism.

Mother Earth was frustrated in the calendar year 2006. That had been when she needed her guardians but the humans' callous use of the planet and their wavering belief in forces, beyond those proven by science, prevented her from waking them. The fire demon known as Markolopulous, Markos for short, escaped his confines from beyond the veil that separated the Abyss from the mortal world. A mortal, who dabbled in the power of magic, had made a circle precise enough to open the veil and allow the demon's escape. The goddess had tried to summon her champions and found her power weakened from the declining belief and the damaging garbage in the world. Unable to wake her charges, she was forced to watch as the demon took up residence in France, and began using his influence to shape the world to his liking. After spending time collecting the necessary resources, Markos helped to finance the research to build ships capable of reaching other worlds. He also worked to weaken the goddess more as he had products made that helped to generate even more disregard for the planet and Mother Earth was fading from the world. Markos enjoyed the chaos he built for a long while.
