The Story of the Book in Goa:
From the 16th Century to the Present times
SPEAKER:
Frederick Noronha
DATE:
Thursday, 18th February, 2021
TIME:
6:00 pm IST (Indian Standard Time. Goa)
7:30 am EST (Eastern Standard Time. Toronto)
COST:
Free
Location:
Online via Zoom.
Link: http://bitly.ws/bEdr
Meeting ID: 946-1036-2416
SYNOPSYS:
Goa, India, was home to the first-ever Gutenberg-style printing press in Asia. But, over the centuries, Goa seems to have lost track of the work that had been done, and has been producing few books itself.
Asia’s first press reached here accidentally in 1556, via the Jesuits. This does not imply that the press played only a religious role. So, what was its impact of the early presses at Old Goa, Margao and Rachol?
In what way did this influence Goan writing of the twentieth-century? Can the book be a tool to understand the complex history of Goa, its relationship with the outside world, and the region’s significant but little-understood diaspora?
You might be surprised by what emerges from the story of the book in Goa….
ABOUT THE SPEAKER:
Frederick Noronha is a journalist, photographer, book publisher and Wikipedian. Between 2013 and 2020 he undertook his doctoral research at the Goa University’s Department of English on publishing in twentieth-century Goa. Noronha’s publishing venture, Goa1556, has published over 150 titles during its 13 years of operation.

† Obituaries and Eulogies
2018-10-12 09:00 - 09:01 | Ontario
Obituaries and eulogies act as reminders of the finite nature of our lives.
For those who have experienced the passing of a family member or friend, they means so much more. They are a bitter sweet reminder of who we’ve lost and help us remember all we enjoyed during our lives.
Goa Culture List provides a place for obituaries and eulogies, service information, condolences, and online resources to support families when they need it most.
