Conspiring To Decolonise Language Teaching And Learning: Reflections And Reactions From A Reading Group, Peter Browning, Katy Highet, Rowena Azada-Palacios, Tania Douek, Eleanor Yue Gong, Andrea Sunyol
Conspiring To Decolonise Language Teaching And Learning: Reflections And Reactions From A Reading Group, Peter Browning, Katy Highet, Rowena Azada-Palacios, Tania Douek, Eleanor Yue Gong, Andrea Sunyol
Philosophy Department Faculty Publications
Within the spirit of conspiration, this article brings together contributions from participants of the PhD-led UCL Reading and React Group ‘Colonialism(s), Neoliberalism(s) and Language Teaching and Learning’, which ran in 2019/20. Weaving together various perspectives, the article centres on the dialogic nature of the decolonial enterprise and challenges the colonial concept of monologic authorial voice. Across the reflections on participants’ own engagements with questions of decolonising language teaching and learning, we pull together three threads: the inherent coloniality of the concepts that shape the very disciplines we seek to decolonise; the need to place decolonial efforts within broader contexts and …
Autopoetics, Market Competence, And The Transnational Author, Maria Gabriela Martin
Autopoetics, Market Competence, And The Transnational Author, Maria Gabriela Martin
English Faculty Publications
Although materialist analyses have critiqued the institutionalization of postcolonial studies and its emergence in global capitalism, only few have addressed the role of creative writing in standardizing migrant novelistic production to what Mark McGurl has designated as ‘program fiction’ whose trademark is the practice of “involuted self-reference”. In filling this gap, this paper looks into Gina Apostol’s writings and their reception by international audiences as exemplary of the cultural capital of program fiction. While Apostol’s autofictions/ficto-criticism points to the influence of creative writing in her novels — she studied under John Barth in the MFA program in Johns Hopkins University, …
The Teleserye Story: Three Periods Of The Evolution Of The Filipino Tv Soap Opera, Louie Jon A. Sanchez
The Teleserye Story: Three Periods Of The Evolution Of The Filipino Tv Soap Opera, Louie Jon A. Sanchez
English Faculty Publications
The essay chronicles the history of the teleserye or the Filipino TV soap opera, one of today’s transnational televisual products making waves in different parts of the globe. It covers three periods—the period of transition from radio to TV (1962 to 1986), the period of competition (1986-2000), and the period of transformation (2000-present). Traversing through 60 years of the form’s enduring presence in Philippine television, it traces the format’s beginnings as it was introduced to the medium in a highly volatile social environment, and assesses its continued flourishing in democratized, contemporary times and consequent entry into the highly competitive global …
Counter-Producing National Narratives: Filipina Diasporic Artists Challenge The Global Health Care System, Christina Ayson Plank
Counter-Producing National Narratives: Filipina Diasporic Artists Challenge The Global Health Care System, Christina Ayson Plank
Social Transformations Journal of the Global South
The Philippine nation-state relies on the production and circulation of hegemonic narratives that represent overseas Filipino workers as flexible laborers to generate profit through remittances. In this article, I analyze Lizza May David and Claudia Liebelt’s documentary Cycles of Care (2011) and Jenifer Wofford’s paintings and illustrations Point of Departure (2007) and Flor 1973-78 (2008) to demonstrate that these works of art counter national narratives by portraying Filipinos in non-capitalizable, non-laboring moments, thereby disrupting the mechanisms of global capitalism. I argue that Filipino artists employ what I call counter-production, an artistic practice that represents the fragmented experiences of displacement, critiques …
Health Care In Metropolitan Manila During The American Colonial Era: A History Of The Management Of Infectious Diseases And Its Effects On The Practice Of Chinese Medicine (English Translation), Peng Hui, Ziyang Huang, Franz David Ong Lim
Health Care In Metropolitan Manila During The American Colonial Era: A History Of The Management Of Infectious Diseases And Its Effects On The Practice Of Chinese Medicine (English Translation), Peng Hui, Ziyang Huang, Franz David Ong Lim
Social Transformations Journal of the Global South
Since the American occupation of Manila, the health care system of the Philippines was transformed with its goal of “modernizing the Philippines.” Systematic Western prevention and control measures and institutions were established. This in turn affected the practice of Chinese medicine, which was present since the Spanish period. With the help of Dr. Tee Hankee and other doctors, local Chinese medicine gradually developed into a combination of Chinese and Western medicine through the developments of the Chinese General Hospital and the establishment of the Filipino Chinese Western Medicine Association. The melding of Chinese and Western medicine formed a distinctive Philippine …
The Ruse Of Reading: The Postcolonial Literary Marketplace And The Novels Of Gina Apostol, Maria Gabriela Martin
The Ruse Of Reading: The Postcolonial Literary Marketplace And The Novels Of Gina Apostol, Maria Gabriela Martin
English Faculty Publications
This paper explores the politics of reading in the novelistic production of Gina Apostol in relation to Sarah Brouillette’s analysis of the postcolonial literary marketplace, Timothy Brennan’s critique of cosmopolitanism, and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak’s tracking of the native informant in postcolonial discourse. In Brouillette’s work, postcolonial writers, unlike the Romantic author who disavows commercial popularity, are aware of the commodification of their work and interact with it, either through resistance or complicity. Cosmopolitanism for Brennan denotes an unequal flow of intellectual commodities between center and periphery instantiated in the consciousness of the migrant writer valorized in “international book markets because …

Agents Of Place: Negotiations Between Artist And Government In Philippine Public Art, Pristine L. De Leon
Fine Arts Department Faculty Publications
The paper inquires into public art produced by artists and government authorities. It interprets collaboration as a site of negotiating various interests; holding possibilities for both disruption and complicity; antagonism and amelioration. The research considers two art projects in the Philippine context: first; the Paoay sand dunes sculpture park made between 2012 and 2015 in the Northern Ilocos region; and second; the ongoing Pasig River Art for Urban Change; beginning with Bakawan in 2015 in the Philippine capital Metro Manila. As both involve the artist Leeroy New (b. 1986) working with different government agencies; the paper tracks inconspicuous shifts not …
Sentimentalismong Sintunado: Mga Harana Sa La India Elegante Y El Indio Amante Ni Francisco Balagtas At Ms Serena Serenata Ni Merlinda Bobis, Isa Lacuna
Katipunan
Ang serenata, o higit na kilala bilang harana, ay may espesyal na lugar sa kulturang Filipino, dala sa isang bahagi ng pagkakaugnay nito sa mga paksa ng panliligaw at romanseng heteroseksuwal. Habang ikinakabit ng marami ang harana sa katuparan ng pagnanasang erotiko, hinaraya ng dalawang manunulat na Filipino ang serenata bilang kabaliktaran nito sa pangkalahatan: ang isa rito’y si Francisco Balagtas sa La India Elegante y El Indio Amante (1862) at ang isa pa’y si Merlinda Bobis sa Ms Serena Serenata (1995). Bagamat magkalayo sa panahon ang isa’t isa at isinulat sa ilalim ng magkaibang halo ng mga historikal at …
Teaching Philippine Literature And Illness: Finding Cure In Humanities, John Paolo Sarce
Teaching Philippine Literature And Illness: Finding Cure In Humanities, John Paolo Sarce
English Faculty Publications
Health and illness as themes are uncommonly being touched in literature classrooms. Other than the lack of interdisciplinary studies or specialists in this field in the Philippines; often teachers are also confronted with tons of materials that they are either overwhelmed to teach or find it difficult to deliver on their classes. This is the goal of this paper; help teachers gain confidence and basic knowledge of teaching literature that discusses health and illness especially at this time of history. Helping both teachers and students to understand and appreciate literature as a space for developing empathy while also honing their …

Since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, socio-economic inequalities have become exacerbated and COVID-19 related hate crimes have increased. This paper explores how citizenship education might be reimagined in response to this context, with the vision of rebuilding a more equitable and compassionate society. By using a collective autobiographical writing approach, this study documented six different autobiographical reflexivities of citizenship education scholars who were from different parts of the world: China, South Korea, the Philippines, the United States, Nepal and the United Kingdom. It also observed the way the pandemic played out in the location where they were situated during …

The current cross-cultural study aimed to extend research on parenting and children’s prosocial behavior by examining relations among parental warmth, values related to family obligations (i.e., children’s support to and respect for their parents, siblings, and extended family), and prosocial behavior during the transition to adolescence (from ages 9 to 12). Mothers, fathers, and their children (N = 1107 families) from 8 countries including 11 cultural groups (Colombia; Rome and Naples, Italy; Jordan; Kenya; the Philippines; Sweden; Thailand; and African Americans, European Americans, and Latin Americans in the United States) provided data over 3 years in 3 waves (Mage …

The safe, highly effective measles vaccine has been recommended globally since 1974, yet in 2017 there were more than 17 million cases of measles and 83,400 deaths in children under 5 years old, and more than 99% of both occurred in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Globally comparable, annual, local estimates of routine first-dose measles-containing vaccine (MCV1) coverage are critical for understanding geographically precise immunity patterns, progress towards the targets of the Global Vaccine Action Plan (GVAP), and high-risk areas amid disruptions to vaccination programmes caused by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Here we generated annual estimates of routine childhood MCV1 …
Time And Southern Theories: Relation, Consequences, And Debates, Ana Beatriz Martins
Time And Southern Theories: Relation, Consequences, And Debates, Ana Beatriz Martins
Social Transformations Journal of the Global South
In Southern theories, time has remained little examined. This article uses the hypothesis that time is an epistemological aspect and central to the construction of sociological knowledge. If our hypothesis is established, it would make the adequacy of European theories unviable as a standard, as general, and as universal since these would be imbued with their temporal conceptions while other societies have their own approaches to time. So, there is a new dimension for Southern theories to explore. The article has three main parts: In the first part I present the hypothesis, a new approach to time (as an epistemological …
Shifting The 'White Gaze' On Black Bodies In Philippine Collegiate Basketball: Toward A Structural Understanding Of Covert Racism In The Global South, Satwinder Singh Rehal
Shifting The 'White Gaze' On Black Bodies In Philippine Collegiate Basketball: Toward A Structural Understanding Of Covert Racism In The Global South, Satwinder Singh Rehal
Social Transformations Journal of the Global South
In a postcolonial Global South context, the representation of race seems to persist and is manifested through the media scripting of Black African sporting bodies that in effect extends the deployment of the “White gaze,” the effort to explore the Black body within the context of white supremacy. Through a qualitative content analysis of media texts in the Philippines, the paper illustrates how in a postmodern context racial stereotypes literally play out within Philippine collegiate basketball framed by the “White gaze” that expresses a covert form of racism that supports an essentialist deployment of categories of race. The paper ends …

Transregional Southeast Asia: Perspectives From An Outlier, Caroline S.; Hau
Transregional Southeast Asia: Perspectives From An Outlier, Caroline S.; Hau
Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints
The Philippines is commonly understood to occupy an anomalous position in Southeast Asian area studies. This essay explores the logic, politics, and logistics of the inclusion and exclusion of the Philippines in or from Southeast Asian studies. Perspectives on and from the Philippines can help rethink and refine concepts of “region” by emphasizing, rather than glossing over, the transregional connections and histories that link the Philippines and its localities to its neighbors, to various regions, and to the world. Area studies need not be hobbled by an intellectual parochialism that cordons off analysis at any given local, national, regional, and …

De Estatura Regular: Height And Filipino Bodily Representations During The Spanish Colonial Period (1521–1898), Gideon; University Lasco
Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints
Thisarticle seeks to contribute to the “history of height” in the Philippines by looking at Filipino bodily representations and height differences during the Spanish colonial period. From Pigafetta’s account onward, European chroniclers typically described Indios (natives) as having average, varied, or unremarkable height. However, during the nineteenth century a new discourse emerged: that of a short-statured Filipino. Likely the consequence of actual physical changes and nascent racial ideologies on the part of Spaniards, this view would set the stage for Filipinos to be typologizedas “short”—and for shortness to be problematized as a sign of racial and social inferiority.KEYWORDS: HEIGHT • …

Beneath The Glitter And Chaos: Thinking On And Teaching With Philippine Culture And Society, Soledad S. Reyes
Perspectives in the Arts and Humanities Asia
This paper examines the ways in which popular texts have been perceived in the Philippines and explores the reasons for their denigration in academe for decades. The discussion attempts to show how the events of the late 1960s and 1970s marked a change in the way such texts as films, komiks, and theatrical performances could be studied from a variety of approaches beyond Formalism and Marxism. The paper also proposes ways this field of study can be mined in the classroom as a way of developing critical thinking among students.
Dark Night: Weaning From One’S Image Of God: Toward Spiritual Maturity, Michael C. Porcia
Dark Night: Weaning From One’S Image Of God: Toward Spiritual Maturity, Michael C. Porcia
Landas
Drawing from St. John of the Cross’s Dark Night of the Soul, this essay explores the spiritual transition of the soul through the maternal image of God. Initially, God nurtures the fragile soul with the passive dependence, warmth, and sweetness a mother provides an infant. However, spiritual maturity requires a process of weaning, moving beyond infantile imagery to find independence within a profound divine bond. This painful transition—likened to a mother applying bitter aloes—constitutes the dark night experience. Ultimately, the soul embraces a scriptural image of God as the ultimate Other, fostering freedom, responsibility, and mature intimacy.

Service-Learning As Global Citizenship Education: Acting Locally On Global Challenges And Concerns, Genejane M. Adarlo
Health Sciences Faculty Publications
Service-learning is a method of teaching that is increasingly used in higher education. Studies are few though on how local placements in service-learning can bring about global citizenship and promote social justice. Hence, this study used multi-sited ethnography to examine the teaching-learning process of service-learning to better understand the construction of civic identity and sense of agency among students when this method of teaching was approached within the larger context of social justice. Study participants included students taking part in service-learning efforts for literacy and maternal health from Miriam College and Ateneo de Manila University, respectively. Data were gathered and …

The Shape Of The Filipino Church To Come: A Vision Of Renewal In Filipino Sacramental Worship, Michael Demetrius H. Asis
Theology Department Faculty Publications
What will it take to make sacramental worship finally inspire genuine Christian discipleship? This book offers a radical vision of renewing current Filipino sacramental understanding and practice. Grounded in a renewed vision of "church" consistent with Vatican II ecclesiology, this work examines the crucial link between worship and disciplehip, so that our prayer, whether private or public, truly becomes, now and in the future, the "source and summit" of all Christian life.

This paper investigated the overall experience of learners with e-literature (e-lit). E-lit as a new form of economy in the field of literature and humanities prompted authors and scholars to create newborn sites of learning — videograph fiction, kinetic poetry, text tula (hyperpoem), and hyperfiction. Thus, the digitization of resource materials in literature led the researchers to investigate the outer circle of some of these new born sites by focusing on the following: readers and their experiences on understanding and learning through e-lit; textual which is concerned with performance and complexities of using this new form of literature; and cultural …

Local And Global Color Symmetries Of A Symmetrical Pattern, Ma. Louise Antonette N. De Las Peñas, Agatha Kristel Abila, Eduard C. Taganap
Mathematics Faculty Publications
This study addresses the problem of arriving at transitive perfect colorings of a symmetrical pattern P consisting of disjoint congruent symmetric motifs. The pattern P has local symmetries that are not necessarily contained in its global symmetry group G. The usual approach in color symmetry theory is to arrive at perfect colorings of P ignoring local symmetries and considering only elements of G. A framework is presented to systematically arrive at what Roth [Geom. Dedicata (1984), 17, 99–108] defined as a coordinated coloring of P, a coloring that is perfect and transitive under G, satisfying the condition that the coloring …

Media has radically transformed in the twenty-first century culminating in platforms for anybody and everybody to publicize news. A “news blog” called WeMedia offers people from different walks of life a space to publish an array of news. An increasing number of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are using WeMedia to transmit agendas as a result of the popularity of new media technology. With new media communication being interactive, immediate, and polymerized, WeMedia communication can overcome the shortage of traditional media and maximize the communicating effect of the NGO.
