The earliest novels in Goa appeared in the 1860s, synthesizing the disparities in cultural ideologies that arose from a range of contemporary concerns. Goan writers were exposed to European literature, but novels were not concealed workshops for theories of cultural nationalism. This chapter analyses two Goan novels, Francisco Luis Gomes’ Os Brahamanes and Francisco João da Costa’s Jacob e Dulce. In contrast to Luis Gomes, da Costa seemed to have written his work by repositioning the authorial voice and the subject of ethnography. In Jacob e Dulce, the consumption of print provided a metaphor through which to describe the workings of gossip. The novel explicitly articulates critiques of colonialism and its impact on Goa.Less

Much of UFO conspiracism mimics the New World Order ideas prevalent in Christian patriot circles. The most distinctive of the variants concerns so-called inner-earth motifs that place the alien presence underground. Dulce proved compatible with long-standing ideas about an inner-earth domain, ideas that derived from crank-science notions of a hollow earth as well as motifs in occultism. The claims of crank science partially overlapped with other ideas rooted in occultism. The interrelationship of inner-earth and reptilian themes is complex. The link stems from their associations with death and evil. In the hands of the reptoid conspiracists, therefore, legends such as the Dulce stories take on a millennial significance, for Dulce and underground warrens that have become the locus for the final conflict. The battles are thus the prelude to a subterranean Armageddon.Less

This chapter begins with a recipe for Pan Dulce de Navidad (Christmas sweet bread). The chapter explains the importance of this recipe to Petrona Carrizo de Gandulfo's story. Over the course of the twentieth century, Petrona's recipe for pan dulce de navidad became the standard homemade Christmas sweetbread in Argentina. In 1946, President and First Lady Juan and Eva Perón capitalized on the symbolic value of food by distributing pan dulce and cider as gifts to Argentinian citizens to celebrate Christmas. This enabled working-class families who might not have had the time or resources to follow Petrona's recipe the chance to taste her Christmas sweet bread.Less
