A Comparative Analysis Of The Concept Of Revelation In Christianity And Islam, Vincent Battaglia Jan 2019

A Comparative Analysis Of The Concept Of Revelation In Christianity And Islam, Vincent Battaglia

Asia Pacific Mission Studies

Christians and Muslims have a mutually irreconcilable understanding of the form and content of divine revelation, so argues Vincent Battaglia. He outlines the concept of revelation from both a Christian and Islamic perspective, and contrasts the two approaches by noting similarities and differences between their respective traditions. He then identifies some theological challenges within the Christian-Islamic dialogue and briefly develops rudiments of an Islamic revelation from a Christian perspective. Finally, he argues that since both traditions share a fellowship of faith, they can have a sense of being “the nearest in affection” to one another (cf. Qur’an5:85).


Creating Pedagogy To Integrate Sustainability And The Arts, Nancy Bertaux, Kaleel Skeirik Dec 2018

Creating Pedagogy To Integrate Sustainability And The Arts, Nancy Bertaux, Kaleel Skeirik

Journal of Management for Global Sustainability

The creation of a sustainable world urgently requires managers of organizations to consider large-scale changes in the practices and policies of social and economic institutions. Compelling scientific and economic information on the environment, while the basis of much dialogue in higher education and in the public sphere, has failed to motivate adequate progress to date. In this article, therefore, we present an original theoretical model for a pedagogy that brings together the arts and sustainability. We postulate that motivation or “heart” to initiate such actions for the environment and persist in the face of societal and institutional inertia can come …


Women Empowerment Or Disempowerment?: A Case Study Of A Social Microfinance’S Activities And Gender Relations In Rizal Province, Héritier Raphaël Mesa Nov 2018

Women Empowerment Or Disempowerment?: A Case Study Of A Social Microfinance’S Activities And Gender Relations In Rizal Province, Héritier Raphaël Mesa

Social Transformations Journal of the Global South

Women’s empowerment has been at the center of the development discourse as one of the eight declared Millennium Development Goals. To date, an increasing number of development organizations are focusing on helping poor women achieve economic sustainability, and social enterprise in its microfinance scheme is playing a leading role in providing women with needed capabilities to increase their agency in the development process. The success of microfinance in empowering women today has been a debatable subject in the economic and development realms, thus leading to a need to reassess some of the microfinance claims. How does it really empower women? …


Intermittent Departures, Returns, And The Incremental Acts Of The Everyday: Paid Domestic Work And Insurgency In Sitio Sibol, Bohol, Cherie Audrey Alfiler Nov 2018

Intermittent Departures, Returns, And The Incremental Acts Of The Everyday: Paid Domestic Work And Insurgency In Sitio Sibol, Bohol, Cherie Audrey Alfiler

Social Transformations Journal of the Global South

Our understanding of maids and their condition is confined within the current discourse of domestic labor exploitation and its general assumptions. This study presents an expansion of the discussion as experienced by residents of Sitio Sibol, Bohol including past experiences of NPA (New People’s Army) insurgency and counterinsurgency that partly played an instrumental role in shaping the maid’s experience. Informed by ethnographic research among former and current maids and their community in Sitio Sibol, this study problematizes how the changing context in the community affects the emergence and proliferation of local domestic work. It traces back the community’s history and …

“Little Brown Brothers”: Height And The Philippine–American Colonial Encounter (1898–1946), Gideon; University Lasco Sep 2018

“Little Brown Brothers”: Height And The Philippine–American Colonial Encounter (1898–1946), Gideon; University Lasco

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Thisarticle looks at how scientific racism, biomedicine, public health, sports, and a nascent bureaucracy intersected in the making of height (human stature) as an important attribute of individuals and populations during the Philippine–American colonial encounter. In relation to the “tall” Americans, Filipinos were depicted and problematized as “short,” and the attention to children’s growth, the rise of sports, and the establishment of a bureaucracy all contributed to making height a measure of health and a parameter of inclusion (and exclusion) in various domains of society.KEYWORDS: HEIGHT • ANTHROPOMETRY • PUBLIC HEALTH • COLONIALISM • PHILIPPINES


Living With The Promise Of Violence: The State And Indigenous People In A Militarized Frontier, Augusto B.; Gatmaytan Jun 2018

Living With The Promise Of Violence: The State And Indigenous People In A Militarized Frontier, Augusto B.; Gatmaytan

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Despite its significance in postwar Philippine history and its continuing relevance today, scholars have largely neglected militarization, especially as experienced by indigenous peoples. Drawing on fieldwork data from 2009 to 2010, thisarticle outlines a phenomenology of the terror experienced by an indigenous community in Agusan del Sur province at the hands of state paramilitary forces involving their own datu. Neil Whitehead’s “poetics of violence” is applied to the analysis of the community’s understanding of the state and its violence. It ends with reflections on the relevance of the community’s experience in relation to issues of continuing “Lumad killings” and the …

Ang Pagkukuwento Bilang Pagbabalik-Loob: Pagdalumat Sa Halaga Ng “Awit Ng Matandang Marinero” Ni Samuel T. Coleridge Sa Talambuhay Ni Fr. Roque Ferriols, S.J, Preciosa Regina A. De Joya Jun 2018

Ang Pagkukuwento Bilang Pagbabalik-Loob: Pagdalumat Sa Halaga Ng “Awit Ng Matandang Marinero” Ni Samuel T. Coleridge Sa Talambuhay Ni Fr. Roque Ferriols, S.J, Preciosa Regina A. De Joya

Philosophy Department Faculty Publications

At the beginning of Roque Ferriols’s autobiography, he remembers the night when he and his father read Samuel T. Coleridge’s “Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” and particularly, how his father translated the English verses to Filipino. This essay explores the significance of Coleridge’s long poem to Ferriols’s reflection on the purpose and structure of his own autobiographical writing, showing how storytelling is not only a means of atonement towards personal salvation but a process in which reconciliation and re-connection with the community can be achieved. Furthermore, I relate Ferriols’s account of the translation of Coleridge’s poem to the philosopher’s effort …

Alinaya Fabros. Outsourceable Selves: An Ethnography Of Call Center Work In A Global Economy Of Signs And Selves. Quezon City: Ateneo De Manila University Press, 2016, 292 Pp., John Martin Bernard Gappy

Social Transformations Journal of the Global South

Excerpt: The Philippines is well known for exporting skilled labor worldwide through its ‘Overseas Filipino Workers’ program but in 1997 a new form of Filipino workers emerged within the country: call center agents. Call centers offer full time jobs as well as above-average compensation to highly educated Filipinos with the advantage of staying in the country. Without migrating, the well-educated youth could now afford a middle-class, ‘cosmopolitan’ lifestyle in the emerging new cities with their luxurious condominiums. Where businesses are concerned, cheaper labor costs in South East Asia allow worldwide corporations to cut on costs and offer greater profits to …


Loob Ng Tao, Albert E. Alejo Sj May 2018

Loob Ng Tao, Albert E. Alejo Sj

Social Transformations Journal of the Global South

Isa itong pagninilay sa pilosopikal na Filipinong konsepto ng ‘loob.’ Ang ‘loob’ sa literal na kahulugan ay ‘interyor,’ ngunit sa abot-tanaw ng wika at kulturang Tagalog na nagpalusog sa aking pakikipag-ugnayan sa sarili, sa lipunan, at sa aking pagbabalik-loob sa kalikasan at sa Maykapal, may ibayo pang kahulugan ang loob. Hindi lamang ito nakakulong na espasyo, o sisidlan ng bagaheng diskursibo, o isang paksang akademiko. Lilitaw sa papel na ito na may likas na balangkasang loob na binubuo ng abot-malay, abot-dama, at abot-kaya. Mula sa literal na larawan ng loob bilang ‘sulok ng dibdib’ hanggang sa talinghagang lawak bilang ‘daigdig …


Loob As Relational Interiority: A Contribution To The Philosophy Of The Human Person, Albert E. Alejo Sj, Julia E. Riddle May 2018

Loob As Relational Interiority: A Contribution To The Philosophy Of The Human Person, Albert E. Alejo Sj, Julia E. Riddle

Social Transformations Journal of the Global South

This paper is a meditation on the Filipino philosophical concept of ‘loob.’ Literally, loob means ‘inside’ or ‘interior,’ but within the horizon of the Tagalog language and the culture that has nourished my interior conversation, my social relation, and my ecological conversion, loob has meant so much more than a circumscribed space, or a container of discursive baggage, or an object for academic project. As the paper reveals, loob has an inner structure that consists of the abot-malay (ambit of consciousness), the abot-dama (ambit of feeling), and the abot-kaya (ambit of strength). From its literal image to its spatial metaphor …


War On Drugs: The Church’S Resilient Mission Of Resistance, Jojo M. Fung Sj, Manoling Francisco Sj, Albert E. Alejo Sj May 2018

War On Drugs: The Church’S Resilient Mission Of Resistance, Jojo M. Fung Sj, Manoling Francisco Sj, Albert E. Alejo Sj

Social Transformations Journal of the Global South

The war on drugs has become contentious in the public and private spaces in this nation. What is contested is the defensibility of an immoral means that legitimizes killing and collateral damage in the guise of upholding the public safety at the expense of the human security of the poor and the dispensable drug-pushers and addicts from the poorer neighborhoods. In light of the teachings of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), Association of Major Religious Superiors of the Philippines (AMRSP), the Manila Episcopal Area of the United Methodist Church and the evaluative framework of the just war …


Producing Empty Socialized Housing: Privatizing Gains, Socializing Costs, And Dispossessing The Filipino Poor, Chester Antonino C. Arcilla May 2018

Producing Empty Socialized Housing: Privatizing Gains, Socializing Costs, And Dispossessing The Filipino Poor, Chester Antonino C. Arcilla

Social Transformations Journal of the Global South

This paper explicates the moral hazard in the current private-public partnerships (PPPs) that produced empty socialized housing in the Philippines. It argues that not only do housing PPPs privatize profits and socialize risks and costs, these also strengthen the state housing agency’s efficacy as an instrument of neoliberal governance. It further argues that this moral hazard is built on and resolved by curtailing the urban poor’s right to democratic participation and adequate housing. Through the socialized housing program, a systematic spatial, political, and economic displacement of the poor is institutionalized to facilitate private gain and commodify housing for the poor. …


Are The Youngsters Taking Over?: The Second Modernity And The Digital Generation, Raul Pertierra May 2018

Are The Youngsters Taking Over?: The Second Modernity And The Digital Generation, Raul Pertierra

Social Transformations Journal of the Global South

We are currently entering a new cultural phase. While it is difficult to predict exactly its important features, a major component is the increasing youthification of culture. In an age of digital and limitless reproduction, the youth provide the most appropriate images for this cultural phase. What has brought this cultural shift about and what are its implications for society and culture? Why are the new technologies of communication so attractive to the young? Is an increase in agency for its users the main attraction? Is this agentic increase “real” and authentic or does it lead its users into a …

Perspectives in the Arts and Humanities Asia

Excerpt: It amazes me to no end how prodigiously our theater has thrived in the last forty years without a theater building. I can only approximate the audiences (easily over a million) and the hundreds of artists and teachers who have been brought up with our theater.

Facebook And The Intricacies Of Migrant Self-Making Among Ilonggo Ofws In South Korea, Clement C.; Camposano Mar 2018

Facebook And The Intricacies Of Migrant Self-Making Among Ilonggo Ofws In South Korea, Clement C.; Camposano

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Thisarticle explores the diverse ways that Ilonggo-speaking male Filipino migrant workers in South Korea engage with Facebook. It studies the performance of online identities in relation to the migrants’ realities as social subjects and the technological mediation of the self and reciprocal exchange. It argues that online narratives can highlight facets of offline life that allow migrants a measure of biographical stability amid physical displacement, yet the same conditions create opportunities to negotiate competing online and offline narratives, complicating the illusion of a unified self. Online selves call for the need to reformulate Goffman’s notion of the interaction order.Keywords: overseas …


Aljamiado Hispanofilipino: The Spanish Language In Philippine Jawi Script, Isaac; Arabic Donoso Mar 2018

Aljamiado Hispanofilipino: The Spanish Language In Philippine Jawi Script, Isaac; Arabic Donoso

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

From the seventeenth century to the nineteenth century PhilippineMoros increasingly wrote the Spanish language in Arabic script knownas Philippine Jawi. This cultural phenomenon, which went beyond merecode switching, is illustrated through documents found in the NationalArchives of the Philippines, particularly protocols involving the Tausug andMaguindanao sultanates. The use of Spanish in Jawi documents increased,thanks to Zamboanga’s role as a cultural center in the south and Manila’sability to attract sultans politically. Jawi was also used as the scriptin language primers through the strategic work of the Jesuit JacintoJuanmartí, who originated Moro philology.KEYWORDS: ALJAMIADO • SPANISH • JAWI • MORO PHILOLOGY • …
