A Journey In Indonesian Regional Autonomy: The Complications Of “Traditional” Village Revival In Mentawai, West Sumatra, Maskota Delfi, Johan Weintré Aug 2014

A Journey In Indonesian Regional Autonomy: The Complications Of “Traditional” Village Revival In Mentawai, West Sumatra, Maskota Delfi, Johan Weintré

Social Transformations Journal of the Global South

This article aims to show the development of local identities and of local government political interests, as captured by clans and élite groups in Mentawai, West Sumatra, Indonesia. An ethnographic analysis was made of those islands in the Indian Ocean, which contain a high diversity of clan dialects/languages and new élite groups that have emerged as a result of young academic Mentawaians returning from the mainland. Influenced by a notion of indigenous political strength, a change in regional administration has set in motion political lobbying by young academics infused with new political ideas and economic interests. Regional autonomy raised the …


Towards A Human-Centered Theory And Practice Of The Firm: Presenting The Humanistic Paradigm Of Business And Management, Michael Pirson, Ernst Von Kimakowitz Jun 2014

Towards A Human-Centered Theory And Practice Of The Firm: Presenting The Humanistic Paradigm Of Business And Management, Michael Pirson, Ernst Von Kimakowitz

Journal of Management for Global Sustainability

In this article, we review the challenges to the current economic system and then proceed by presenting two competing paradigms—the economistic and humanistic paradigms of business. We then develop the consequences of the humanistic view for the theory and practice of the firm with regard to global sustainability. We examine paradigmatic differences regarding business strategy, governance structures, leadership styles, and organizational culture, and illustrate them based on global case examples. In this manner, we contribute to the discussion of alternative theories for global sustainability, centering the debate on authentic human needs and the consequences of such for management theory.

The Komedya Of International Development In Camiguin Island: Ethnographic Stories On Program Impact And Sustainability, Andrés Narros Jun 2014

The Komedya Of International Development In Camiguin Island: Ethnographic Stories On Program Impact And Sustainability, Andrés Narros

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

There remains a lack of connection between existing standards of international development projects and the social and cultural complexities of rural Philippine communities where these projects are situated. Thisarticle attempts to supply the missing connection by discussing a case study in Camiguin Island in northern Mindanao, where a Spanish government–funded development program took place for fourteen years from 1990 to 2004. This study explores the community’s perceptions of the program through an alternative ethnography, using the “archaeological approach” and the traditional play “komedya” as metaphor, to understand the correlations among project standards, local complexities, and project impact and sustainability.KEYWORDS: Development …


Practicing “Enlightened Capitalism”: “Fil–Am” Heroes, Ngo Activism, And The Reconstitution Of Class Difference In The Philippines, Faith R. Kares Jun 2014

Practicing “Enlightened Capitalism”: “Fil–Am” Heroes, Ngo Activism, And The Reconstitution Of Class Difference In The Philippines, Faith R. Kares

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Drawing on original ethnographic research, thisarticle focuses on the ways in which the Philippines-based nongovernmental organization (NGO) Gawad Kalinga (GK) encourages diasporic Filipino volunteerism by reworking the nationalist discourse of heroism and deploying idioms of love and care. It examines volunteer receptions to GK’s development approach and recruitment strategies. In so doing, thisarticle analyzes not only the diaspora’s role in GK’s housing construction efforts and poverty alleviation projects, but also interrogates the implications of the underclass ideology buttressing and the neoliberal logic framing the organization’s work with the poor.KEYWORDS: Filipino diaspora • development • nongovernmental organizations • nationalism • poverty

Effects Of Replacing Fishmeal With Squash Seed Meal (Cucurbita Maxima) On Performance Of Juvenile Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis Niloticus), Janice A. Ragaza, Jonni Fay C. Teves, Marie Noelle Fernandez

Biology Faculty Publications

The effects of replacing fishmeal with squash (Cucurbita maxima) seed meal (SSM) on Oreochromis niloticus juveniles were investigated on a 30-day feeding trial. Triplicate groups of ten (10) O. niloticus juveniles (2.54±0.949 g) stocked in polyethylene tanks received iso-nitrogenous diets with SSM inclusion levels of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%. Fish fed 5% SSM inclusion level showed the highest average weight gain (202.25±36.26%) and specific growth rate (3.76±0.42%) among the fish fed SSM-containing diets. However, there were no significant differences between the average weight gain and specific growth rate of fish in all diets. Fish fed S5, S15 and …

The Filipino As Libertarian Contemporary Implications Of Anarchism, Charles J-H; Macdonald Nov 2013

The Filipino As Libertarian Contemporary Implications Of Anarchism, Charles J-H; Macdonald

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Modern Philippine society presents a number of traits that have puzzled or fascinated social scientists: an apparent looseness of organization, institutional fuzziness, intense factionalism, moral values geared toward smooth interpersonal interaction, a weak sense of public good, and a bilateral kinship system. Thisarticle revisits these points and makes sense of them by using a model of society called “anarchic” or “open-aggregated.” This conceptual grid applies to other societies and cultures, but is particularly enlightening with respect to Filipino values, their institutional style, and preferred types of behavior. Particular attention is paid to kinship and politics, to pakikisama and utang na …


The Hero Legend In Colonial Southeast Asia, Thomas; University Gibson Nov 2013

The Hero Legend In Colonial Southeast Asia, Thomas; University Gibson

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Four legends that originated in the different religious and colonial contexts of the Tagalog and Makassar peoples are shown to conform to Edward Tylor’s classical “hero pattern.” Using structural anthropology and cognitive linguistics, thisarticle argues that hero legends generated metaphors from concrete relationships in the domestic domain to conceptualize abstract relationships in a series of other domains. The hero pattern underwent transformations in tandem with changes in the political and economic institutions in which it was embedded. From its beginnings as a charter for rival city-states in the ancient Middle East, it became a charter for the universalistic world religions …


Contracting Colonialism And The Long 1970s, Vicente L. Rafael Nov 2013

Contracting Colonialism And The Long 1970s, Vicente L. Rafael

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

How is it that a book published over twenty-five years ago dealing with a distant historical moment, consisting of a series of close readings of equally obscure texts that few scholars of even the same period bother to read and informed by a style of thinking largely foreign to nationalist ideas, continues to be read and referenced not only in the Philippines but in other parts of the world? Thisarticle seeks to answer this question by placing the making of Contracting Colonialism within the context of the long 1970s in both the Philippines and the United States.Keywords: ContraCting Colonialism • …

Contracting Colonialism: From Thesis To Book To Ebook, Vernon R. Totanes

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

It is rare for scholarly books on Philippine history by Filipinos to remain in print twenty-five years after they were initially published. This research note examines the publishing history of Vicente Rafael’s Contracting Colonialism—from its origins as a doctoral thesis to its simultaneous publication by a US and a Philippine university press to its current availability as an ebook via two different platforms—to explore possible reasons behind its longevity and influence.Keywords: Contracting Colonialism • BooK History • Cornell University Press • Ateneo de Manila University Press • DUKe University Press

Reshaping Metro Manila: Gentrification, Displacement, And The Challenge Facing The Urban Capital, Ray Simon Roderos Aug 2013

Reshaping Metro Manila: Gentrification, Displacement, And The Challenge Facing The Urban Capital, Ray Simon Roderos

Social Transformations Journal of the Global South

Globalization and liberal economic reforms provide both opportunities and threats for developing cities. It can bring much needed capital and economic development but also at the possible cost of displacement and marginalization. Metro Manila contributes US$7.7 billion to the Philippine economy by remaining competitive in attracting and facilitating the flow of capital. However, this economic development translates to displacement, with its very citizens being affected. We analyze this phenomenon through the existing literature on Metro Manila and gentrification. This paper addresses the key questions: Who are the key players in Metro Manila’s gentrification? What are the implications of their actions? …

Adaptive Strategies Of Parián Chinese: Fictive Kinship And Credit In Seventeenth-Century Manila, Joshua Kueh Aug 2013

Adaptive Strategies Of Parián Chinese: Fictive Kinship And Credit In Seventeenth-Century Manila, Joshua Kueh

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Based on a seventeenth-century baptismal book of the Parián, a 1689 list of debts owed to non-Catholic Chinese, and a 1690 membership list for gremios de sangleyes infieles, thisarticle argues that adaptation by the Chinese in Manila to secure themselves and their livelihoods followed two major strategies: (a) fictive kinship in the form of compadrazgo (coparenthood) and padrinazgo (godparenthood), and (b) extending credit. The Chinese used both strategies to create or solidify networks of mutual obligation and aid within their own community and with other residents of Manila. These strategies helped spin webs of interconnection that made colonial society stable …

Gray Love The Career Of Gov. John Early In The Cordilleras, Shelton; Boise Woods Jun 2013

Gray Love The Career Of Gov. John Early In The Cordilleras, Shelton; Boise Woods

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Unlike the usual portrayals of racism of American colonial officials in the Philippines, thisarticle explores the career of John Early, a mid-level official who rose to become the governor of the Mountain Province in 1922 until his death in 1932. In 1911 he had served as lieutenant governor of Bontoc but was fired, according to his memoir, for defending the rights of the indigenous highlanders against unfair American colonials. Early’s rather unorthodox rise in the colonial government included actions that at times appear to contradict the prevailing thoughts of the day. Thearticle asserts the complex nature of human motives.Keywords: American …

Postcolonial Fissures And The Contingent Nation An Antinationalist Critique Of Philippine Historiography, Lisandro E. Claudio Mar 2013

Postcolonial Fissures And The Contingent Nation An Antinationalist Critique Of Philippine Historiography, Lisandro E. Claudio

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Thisarticle examines instances in Philippine historiography where nationalism, as a unitary end, has been used to elide and obscure class difference. It begins with a partial explanation of the lacunae in antinationalist thinking in the Philippines, and then proceeds to a critique of contemporary nationalist historiography. Using historians Zeus Salazar and Reynaldo Ileto as case studies, it examines how nationalist historiography can serve as means to implicitly justify localized acts of class oppression. The works of these scholars, while crucial in forwarding critiques of colonialism and neocolonialism, privilege nationalist unity over thorough examinations of disjunctures produced by class difference.


The Spaces Of Southeast Asian Scholarship, Resil B. Mojares Mar 2013

The Spaces Of Southeast Asian Scholarship, Resil B. Mojares

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

This professorial address argues that the genealogy of Southeast Asian studies must be traced to the work carried out by Southeast Asians themselves in the context of the practice and formation of local or national scholarship. The argument is illustrated by the historical formation of what can be called “Southeast Asian studies” in the Philippines. The paper was a keynote address that was read at the conference on “Engaging the Classics in Malay and Southeast Asian Studies,” Singapore, 17–18 June 2010, sponsored by the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies and the National University of Singapore’s Department of Malay Studies.
