Abstract This article reviews the performance in Zimbabwe of a play called Tinoendepi? as an exemplary piece of popular theatre aimed at alerting audiences to issues of violence during the run-up to the 2002 presidential election. The play presents the history of a country that opposed colonial violence with successful revolution before subsiding into a recognizable brand of neo-colonial violence.

The introduction of English as 'high' language and the designs to reshape the 'native vernaculars' under its influence through colonial educational policy altered the universe of communicative and cultural practices on the subcontinent. Colonial bilingualism also introduced hierachical and ideological divisions between the newly-educated and 'illiterate', 'English-knowing' and 'vernacular-speaking' sections of native society. On the basis of an analysis of the possibilities for a laicised literate order opened up through the severely elitist project of colonial education, the thesis proposes an argument about the structural links between these crucial cultural shifts and the strategies adopted by the colonial intelligentsia in western India to achieve a hegemonic position. The main argument of my thesis is set against a discussion of the relations between linguistic hierarchies, textual practices and power in precolonial western India. My thesis is a study of the bilingual relation between English and Marathi and it traces the hierarchical relation between the English and vernacular spheres in the Bombay-Pune region between 1830-1880. The initiatives to establish the first native Marathi newspaper, the Bombay Durpan. a bilingual weekly, in 1832 signified the beginning of the intelligentsia's efforts to disseminate the new discourses among wider audiences and to establish a sphere of critical exchange through the vernacular. Later attempts, from the 1860s onwards, to aestheticise vernacular discourse by creating 'high' 'modern' literary forms were undoubtedly important in enhancing the intelligentsia's hegemonic claims, but they also corresponded with crucial shifts in their self-perception and their ideological orientation. The emergence of Kesari and the Maratha in early 1881 indicated that the bilingual relation that structured the colonial-modern public sphere had, by this time, yielded two separate, largely monolingual literate communities within native society. Concomitantly, by the early 1880s, the upper-caste intelligentsia had renounced even the minimal scope that had existed for them to act as agents for a more egalitarian cultural and social order. In analysing the conditions under which the colonial intelligentsia in western India were able to achieve a position of ideological influence, the thesis also aims to raise questions about the displacement of the meanings and spaces for hegemonic articulation within colonial modernity.

Os resultados desses trabalhos mostraram a existência de atividade científica no Brasil no século XIX, no âmbito das ciências naturais e pesquisas recentes têm historicizado práticas científicas referentes ao século XVIII (Santana, 2001:26). Apresentamos a prática científica de Baltasar da Silva Lisboa concordando que seu fazer científico voltou-se para a realidade do Brasil colônia, pressuposto de Maria Odila (1968), bem como anuímos com Lorelai Kury (2004) no que diz respeito a uma especificidade do Iluminismo brasileiro e ainda, nos juntamos a Dantes (1988) afirmando uma dinâmica científica no Brasil antes da instituição das primeiras universidades nos idos de 1930. Baltasar da Silva Lisboa fez parte da geração de estudantes da Universidade de Coimbra que afincados na perspectiva naturalista ensinada por Domingos Vandelli elaboraram relatórios acerca da utilização dos recursos naturais no território brasileiro e desenvolveram estudos científicos ocupando-se com os problemas referentes à realidade do Brasil. Trabalhamos com uma considerável quantidade de documentos primários, os quais são provenientes de órgãos oficiais, especificamente Conselho Ultramarino Português e Instituto Histórico e Geográfico Brasileiro. Trata-se de correspondências, relatórios, biografias e memórias. O cruzamento dessa documentação entre si, bem como, com textos secundários, consiste na metodologia aplicada nesta pesquisa. Para Silva Lisboa, o conhecimento das ciências naturais era uma perspectiva de explicação do mundo, considerava a Mata Atlântica um “sublime celeiro da natureza”, a localização de Ilhéus como uma “alegre vargem, embelezada por coqueirais”, o Brasil um “um novo império” que em detrimento das “violentas agitações da prostrada Europa”, teria a exuberância natural, e ainda entendia que o corte indiscriminado de árvores era uma “ameaça aos dons da natureza”.
