Heroic Women In Deuteronomistic History, Miriam R. Alejandrino Jan 2018

Heroic Women In Deuteronomistic History, Miriam R. Alejandrino

Landas

In her essay, Miriam R. Alejandrino examines the Hebrew term gibbôr to identify and describe female heroines (gibbôr) within the Deuteronomistic History. Despite the strong patriarchal culture surrounding these sacred texts, Alejandrino highlights figures like Rahab, Deborah, Jael, Hannah, Michal, Abigail, Huldah, and an unnamed woman as heroic. These individuals risked their lives and made vital sacrifices for the well-being of God's chosen people and the nation. Ultimately, these biblical narratives bear witness to the significant, active role that women play in fulfilling the divine plan for humanity.


A Critique Of Gender Ideology, James Mctavish Jan 2018

A Critique Of Gender Ideology, James Mctavish

Landas

James McTavish, F.M.V.D., critiques gender ideology for causing confusion among developing children, especially those experiencing gender dysphoria. He argues that disconnecting gender choice from biological sex exacerbates distress and encourages immoral behaviors, such as homosexual relationships, sex reassignment surgeries, and a laissez-faire sexual attitude. Emphasizing that gender-confused adolescents require clear guidance to navigate sexual maturation, McTavish aligns with Pope Francis’s teachings in Laudato Si’. The Pope asserts that valuing one's biological masculinity or femininity is essential for self-recognition, allowing individuals to joyfully accept and find mutual enrichment in God the Creator's diverse design.


The Mystique Of Dialogue: Pathway To Spirit Power For Liberative Struggle, Jojo M. Fung Jan 2018

The Mystique Of Dialogue: Pathway To Spirit Power For Liberative Struggle, Jojo M. Fung

Landas

This paper recounts the author’s initiation into shamanism within a Murut village in Sabah, East Malaysia. The rigorous process of acquiring "spirit power" begins with the na rio bathing ritual, followed by an intensive apprenticeship. Under a master shaman, the initiate learns incantations to invoke favorable spirits for healing, deliverance, and communal harmony, eventually meeting a personal spirit guide during a full-moon isolation. Upon the master's death, the apprentice becomes the community's shaman. Reflecting on this experience, Fung advocates accompanying indigenous Asian communities, leveraging their shamanic spiritualities to advance social justice and ecological well-being.

The Unifying And Divisive Effects Of Social Identities: Religious And Ethnopolitical Identities Among Mindanao Muslims In The Philippines, Ma. Elizabeth J. Macapagal, Jose Jowel P. Canuday, Cristina J. Montiel Jan 2018

The Unifying And Divisive Effects Of Social Identities: Religious And Ethnopolitical Identities Among Mindanao Muslims In The Philippines, Ma. Elizabeth J. Macapagal, Jose Jowel P. Canuday, Cristina J. Montiel

Psychology Department Faculty Publications

The present study looks into the unifying and divisive effects of ethnopolitical and religious social identities, and an emerging superordinate Bangsamoro identity of Muslims in the southern region of the Philippines. We surveyed 394 Muslims with a mean age of 32.6 and standard deviation of 13.3 from the Tausug, Maranao, and Maguindanaoan ethnopolitical affiliations using various measures of social identities. Findings showed that the Muslims in our sample identify themselves more strongly with their religious identity over their ethnopolitical affiliations. Religious identity may thus be a unifying element in the conflict-ridden context of Mindanao, as a significant correlation was also …


Pampanitikang Gawain Ang Pagsasalin, Michael M. Coroza Jan 2018

Pampanitikang Gawain Ang Pagsasalin, Michael M. Coroza

Filipino Faculty Publications

Binibigyang-diin sa maikling pagtalakay na ito na ang pagsasaling pampanitikan ay isang pampanitikang gawain. Kaugnay kung hindi man tunay na isang sangay ng mga araling pampanitikan ang pagsasalin. Lampas sa tumbasan ng mga salita o parirala, higit sa paghanap ng literal na kahulugan o praktikal na aral ng teksto, ang pampanitikang pagsasalin ay nakatuon sa pagkapanitikan ng panitikan. Ito ang dahilan kung bakit para kay Clifford E. Landers ay mahirap ipatanggap o ipaunawa sa maraming nasa larang ng pragmatikong pagsasalin ang pagsasaling pampanitikan. Hindi ang ibig sabihin lamang ang mahalaga, madalas na mas mahalaga pa ang paraan ng pagsasabi. Wika …


Risk Governance In Metro Manila: De-Politicising State-Civil Society Relations In Crafting Housing Resilience For/With The Poor, Emma E. Porio Jan 2018

Risk Governance In Metro Manila: De-Politicising State-Civil Society Relations In Crafting Housing Resilience For/With The Poor, Emma E. Porio

Sociology & Anthropology Department Faculty Publications

The 1990s decentralization and democratization movements saw the rise of civil society engagements with the state in crafting/implementing its social reform agenda. Partnership with civil society was the key in making urban governance an effective foil for the rising informality in Metro Manila and other rapidly urbanizing areas (Karaos 2018; Porio 1997, 2004). But the increasing climate disasters (e.g., Ketsana 2009, Haiyan 2013) that inundated millions of urban-rural poor had led to shifting spaces of power (Porio 2012) in state-civil society engagements, revealing the complexities of urban governance in the era of climate disasters and heightened state-capital partnerships. Mayors, for …


Hegemonic Tool? Nationalism In Philippine History Textbooks, 1900–2000, Rommel A. Curaming Nov 2017

Hegemonic Tool? Nationalism In Philippine History Textbooks, 1900–2000, Rommel A. Curaming

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

This study analyzes fifteen history textbooks published from 1905 to 2000 to identify patterns of nationalist discourses relating to: (1) membership in the nation; (2) origins of the people; (3) national self-image; and (4) hero and heroism as exemplified by José Rizal. It finds that, across time and thematically within a given period, the patterns of discourses are generally incoherent, which indicate that the control over official history knowledge production has been less than hegemonic. Apart from weak policy implementation, this study suggests that textbooks embody a plurality of competing social forces and reflect the political dynamics of an era.Keywords: …

Exhibiting The Exotic At The Exhibition: Music And The Evolutionary Sociocultural Continuum At The 1904 St. Louis World’S Fair, David Kendall Oct 2017

Exhibiting The Exotic At The Exhibition: Music And The Evolutionary Sociocultural Continuum At The 1904 St. Louis World’S Fair, David Kendall

Perspectives in the Arts and Humanities Asia

The World’s Fair had long been a showcase of the progress and enlightenment of the modern Western nation, justified partly through the popularization of the new field of sociology that provided a linear evolutionary model of human sociocultural development. This model was available for illustration in St. Louis in 1904 largely due to the American possession of the Philippines. The new colony boasted many ethnic groups at various levels of social and cultural development, allowing the Fair organizers to display both the range of the evolutionary sociocultural continuum and the benefits of American colonialism in one large 47-acre “habitat.” Another …


Safeguarding Pabalat-Wrapped Pastillas In The Philippines: Problems And Possibilities Of Community Participation, Patricia Gonzalez Sep 2017

Safeguarding Pabalat-Wrapped Pastillas In The Philippines: Problems And Possibilities Of Community Participation, Patricia Gonzalez

Social Transformations Journal of the Global South

This article describes the Philippine foodway and craft form of pabalat-wrapped pastillas by examining the different communities involved in its practice and preservation. It analyzes how the participatory framework reshapes the authorized heritage discourse and argues for a more pragmatic conceptualization of community participation that recognizes the different kinds of communities involved in heritage work, shows sensitivity to the politics at play, and aims at parity among actors—not exclusion. Tracing the history of borlas de pastillas and assessing its uses in tourism demonstrations, festivals, training programs and museum exhibits reveals the problematic issues of disinheritance, dissonance, memory, and ownership that …

Jonathan Paul Marshall, James Goodman, Didar Zowghi, And Francesca Da Rimini. Disorder And The Disinformation Society: The Social Dynamics Of Information Networks And Software. Routledge, London, 2015. 302 Pp., Raul Pertierra

Social Transformations Journal of the Global South

Excerpt: According to Bruno Latour (2014) we are now in the age of Anthropocene, where human activity is the main shaper of the physical and social environment. As to when this age started is difficult to ascertain – it may have begun 500,000 years ago when fire was first employed or 10,000 years ago when cultivation and animal husbandry was practiced. Some anthropologists date this age to the first water pump (1710) at the start of the industrial revolution. In any case, it now seems clear that human activity is the main determinant of our physical and social world. A …

Laudato Si’ And Integral Ecology: A Reconceptualization Of Sustainability, Jessica Ludescher Imanaka, Greg Prussia, Samantha Alexis Jun 2017

Laudato Si’ And Integral Ecology: A Reconceptualization Of Sustainability, Jessica Ludescher Imanaka, Greg Prussia, Samantha Alexis

Journal of Management for Global Sustainability

This study analyzes sustainability concepts through the lens of Roman Catholic Social Teaching (CST) with a special emphasis on Laudato Si’. CST expands the focus of sustainability to include social justice through its emphasis on human dignity, the common good, and caritas. In CST, justice is understood as structural while environmental obligations are connected to integral human development and peace. In Laudato Si’, Pope Francis calls on us to counter prevailing unjust systems with a structural reordering of multiple ecologies: environmental, economic, social, cultural, and daily life. Based on this reordering, he developed the notion of integral ecology, and we …

Women Of Storm Surges: Meaning Making As Cultural Process Of Social Repair For Yolanda Survivors, Chaya Ocampo; Go Jun 2017

Women Of Storm Surges: Meaning Making As Cultural Process Of Social Repair For Yolanda Survivors, Chaya Ocampo; Go

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Years after Typhoon Yolanda (international code name: Haiyan) struck Leyte island in the Eastern Visayas region in 2013, I conduct a feminist ethnographic research and inquire into the ways Waray women survivors make meaning of this super typhoon and how they mobilize disaster memory and symbolisms in their survival testimonies to engage in social repair. In showing how the women survivors (a) personify the storm; (b) explain order and safety in cycles and seasons; and (c) explain syncretic theologies pertaining to ideas of justice, I argue that they enact an ancient ferocity as a form of agency for survival.Keywords: anthropology …

Utopia Atbp: Versions Of The Ideal In Philippine Fiction, Vicente Garcia Groyon Mar 2017

Utopia Atbp: Versions Of The Ideal In Philippine Fiction, Vicente Garcia Groyon

Perspectives in the Arts and Humanities Asia

In Utopia, Thomas More delivers a specific and context-bound critique of Tudor England through a faux anthropological report on a perfect society, “perfect” being defined as everything that Tudor England was not. Philippine fiction can similarly be read as visions of what the nation could and should be, delivered in oblique flashes that project a fragmentary composite picture of everything that the Philippines is not, or no longer is. The supposedly opposed vectors of romance and realism coincide in their explicit and implicit yearnings for contentment and happiness, echoing More’s own bemused, amused impatience with his flawed country. Through a …
