Alaála: Tropical Memory, Christian Jil R. Benitez
Alaála: Tropical Memory, Christian Jil R. Benitez
Kritika Kultura
This essay considers a moment in José Rizal’s novel El Filibusterismo (1891)—namely, the substitution of the Spanish figure of “black King Melchor” with the folk “King of the Indios,” Bernardo Carpio, in the eyes of a native coachman—with a critical attention to how such an instant of comparison unfolds. The essay first ruminates on the crucial phrase deployed by Rizal to signify the moment, pensar naturalmente, which has been interpreted differently across various translations of the novel, but specifically rendered here as alaála or remembering. Through a brief philological examination of the latter Filipino word, regarding it as a material …
Decolonizing National And Imperial Memories: From Postcolonial To Decolonial And Beyond, Jarula M.I. Wegner
Decolonizing National And Imperial Memories: From Postcolonial To Decolonial And Beyond, Jarula M.I. Wegner
Kritika Kultura
This article describes a discursive shift at the beginning of the twenty-first century in academic and public debates from postcolonial to decolonial critiques and asks what this means for the study of national and imperial memories. While some critics, like Robert J. C. Young, see this shift within postcolonial discourse, others, like Sylvia Wynter, believe that postcolonial theory itself needs to be decolonized. Regardless of whether one believes the shift is taking place within postcolonial studies or caused from outside, in any case it presents at least twelve complex transformations. While many of the characteristics hark back to a longer …
Living The Coast: On Property And Possession, The Netherlands And Indonesia, And The Free Sea, Rick Dolphijn
Living The Coast: On Property And Possession, The Netherlands And Indonesia, And The Free Sea, Rick Dolphijn
Kritika Kultura
When Sigmund Freud visited the Netherlands in the 1920s, he oversaw the Dutch landscape while travelling by rowing boats, carriages, and on foot. The reclamation of the Zuyderzee especially made an impression. He concluded that this drive for culture to control nature was similar to how the Ego wanted to control the Id. Of course, this was not a recent phenomenon in the Netherlands. During two earlier visits (in 1908 and 1910), Freud visited the major museums of the Netherlands where he was especially interested in the landscape painters of the seventeenth century. Landscape is actually one of those Dutch …
Deleuze’S Concept Of Islands And Archipelagic Ontology, Alex Taek-Gwang Lee
Deleuze’S Concept Of Islands And Archipelagic Ontology, Alex Taek-Gwang Lee
Kritika Kultura
This article explores the philosophical significance of islands through the lens of Gilles Deleuze’s geophilosophy, reframing their role in shaping planetary perspectives. Deleuze’s essay “Desert Islands” transcends geographical interpretations, positioning islands as metaphysical entities that embody the tension between separation and renewal. This duality, characterized by a longing for isolation and the utopian desire for reinvention, informs his broader philosophical framework. Islands, for Deleuze, serve as spaces of resistance and innovation, challenging dominant political and social structures. Deleuze’s distinction between continental and oceanic islands operates as a metaphor for contrasting modes of thought and governance, tying his conceptualization of geography …

Transcultural Identity In Tan Twan Eng’S The Garden Of Evening Mists, Zhen Wang, Kean Yew Lee, Kee Chye Ho
Kritika Kultura
The Garden of Evening Mists by Tan Twan Eng narrates the progression from apprenticeship of a Malaysian Chinese woman, Teoh Yun Ling, to her romantic relationship with a Japanese gardener, Nakamura Aritomo, expanding the space for identity writing in Malaysian English literature that reflects the interactions among diverse cultures. This article discusses Yun Ling’s adaptation of Japanese culture at the acculturation stage, her rediscovery of Chinese culture at the deculturation stage, and her transcultural practice of different cultures at the neoculturation stage, in light of transculturation theory. It argues that Yun Ling’s ongoing negotiation, while involving a collision between the …

Kritika Kultura
This article will analyze a range of Australian picture books that both explore the topic of disability and serve as educational tools for exploring diversity issues. The books were identified in a survey administered by the State Library of New South Wales (NSW) public library service, which identified 62 books that deal with diversity. Thirteen of the 62 books were assessed as having characters with a disability—including autism, mental illness, dementia, spina bifida, neurodiversity, physical disability, deafness, and implied but unidentified disabilities. This article will analyze the approach adopted in each of the picture books using Rudine Sims Bishop’s three …

Some Notes On The (Post) Modern Philippine Historical Novel In English, Cristina Pantoja Hidalgo
Some Notes On The (Post) Modern Philippine Historical Novel In English, Cristina Pantoja Hidalgo
Perspectives in the Arts and Humanities Asia
Compared to the Philippine short story in English, the Philippine novel in English was slow to develop. Some critics attributed this to the pressure to write only “big novels,” i.e., historical novels, following in the footsteps of Jose Rizal. Bienvenido Lumbera opined that Filipino writers in English could not produce this kind of narrative because of their alienation from that part of the national experience that antedated the literary use of English. The exceptions to this were F. Sionil Jose and Linda Ty-Casper, who, in the 1960s, were already producing multiple historical novels in the realist style. By the 1980s …
Rereading Nick Joaquin As A Devil’S Advocate “La Naval De Manila” (1943) In Context, Luisa L. Gomez
Rereading Nick Joaquin As A Devil’S Advocate “La Naval De Manila” (1943) In Context, Luisa L. Gomez
Perspectives in the Arts and Humanities Asia
Nick Joaquin characterized himself as a “devil’s advocate” for taking contrarian positions in Philippine cultural history. His early essay “ La Naval de Manila” is taken as an example of such. A re-examination of the essay within its original context of the Japanese Occupation of the Philippines, however, reveals that Joaquin’s early historical imagination must be understood less as an act of rebellion and more as a product of negotiation. It navigates multiple audiences and overlapping empires—the Spanish past it venerates, the American period whose language it uses, and the Japanese present that enabled its publication. Its power lies not …

Pope Francis On Forced Migration: A Pastoral Of Mercy And Its Relevance In The Indonesian Context, Alexander Hendra Dwi Asmara, Martinus Dam Febrianto
Pope Francis On Forced Migration: A Pastoral Of Mercy And Its Relevance In The Indonesian Context, Alexander Hendra Dwi Asmara, Martinus Dam Febrianto
Asia Pacific Mission Studies
Dealing with refugees, was the late Pope Francis’ legacy, during his pontificate, both as the leader of the Catholic Church and a global figure. This article reviews Francis’ pastoral approach of mercy, especially in his concern and advocacy for migrants and refugees, as expressed through his gestures, statements, thoughts, proposals, and policies. Along with issues of global inequality and ecological damage, Francis believed that forced migration can only be addressed through joint efforts based on recognizing human dignity, solidarity, the need for participation, as well as connectivity and inclusivity that encompasses the entire human family. This article then highlights the …

In The News!: “Teatro Filipino,” “Artista Filipina,” “Piano Filipino”: Semantic Birthings Of A Nascent Identity In Music, Ma. Patricia Brillantes Silvestre
Perspectives in the Arts and Humanities Asia
The final decade of the nineteenth century saw the emergence of a visible, palpable self-consciousness with the expansion of the formerly denigrating nomenclature ‘Filipino’ (from its original criollo designation) to encompass the mestizo and indio. This resulted from a uniquely potent brew of socio-political and economic factors that boiled over in this period to trigger the first stirrings of nationalism. The newspaper as, in the words of Roland Barthes, “social space” h ad chronicled t he shift in the term’s usage, as explored in the journalism on music—from a mere geographic denotation of the colonized native from las islas Filipinas …

Michal’S Legacy: Bridging Biblical Narratives With Advocacy For Women, Rodel D. Magin
Michal’S Legacy: Bridging Biblical Narratives With Advocacy For Women, Rodel D. Magin
Landas
This article explores biblical narratives, focusing specifically on Michal’s story from the books of Samuel (1 Sam 14:19, 18:20-28, 19:11-17, 25:44, 2 Sam 3:12- 16, and 6:16-23), the daughter of King Saul who became David's wife, to shed light on women’s challenges. Through narrative analysis and feminist interpretation, it highlights the relevance of Michal’s story in addressing contemporary societal issues. By drawing on insights from these narratives, the study advocates for societal transformation and gender equality, emphasizing the urgent need for action to alleviate the struggles women face. As the Church upholds the dignity of every individual, regardless of their …

Graffiti, Neoliberalismo, At Tunggalian Para Sa Espasyo Sa Lungsod Quezon, Harvey James G. Castillo
Filipino Faculty Publications
Magmula nang umigting ang neoliberalismo bilang ekonomikong kaayusan noong dekada 1970, daan-daang bansa na ang maaapektuhan nito at libo-libong espasyo ang mahuhubog ng masidhing neoliberal na lohika. Tatawagin ng mga paham bilang neoliberal na urbanismo—ang ganitong diwa ng pagsasaayos sa mga lungsod, na nasa anyo ng pribatisasyon at hentripikasyon ng mga espasyo, ay magdudulot ng pag-unlad at lubos-at-labis na yaman para sa iilan, at kaaba-abang karalitaan at guho para sa nakararami. Sa ganitong konteksto ng neoliberal na urbanismo, isinusulong ng artikulo na ang mga graffiti ay umiiral bilang tekstong panlipunan na instrumental sa agawan ng espasyo sa pagitan ng estado-merkado …

Synthesising Les Mills’ Five Key Elements: How Readiness-To-Hand Is Developed Among Group Fitness Coaches, Manuel R. Enverga Iii
Synthesising Les Mills’ Five Key Elements: How Readiness-To-Hand Is Developed Among Group Fitness Coaches, Manuel R. Enverga Iii
Economics Department Faculty Publications
This paper examines the process by which Les Mills group fitness instructors in the Philippines develop a seemingly effortless coaching style. They simultaneously perform exercises alongside their participants, correcting and motivating them, while maintaining awareness of the music playing. Using ethnographic data from a local Philippine gym, pseudonymously referred to as The Fit Stop, it is argued that the apparent naturalness of their teaching develops through numerous stages of practice and feedback. Throughout the process, instructors gain mastery over what Les Mills calls the Five Key Elements of instruction: choreography, technique, coaching, connection, and performance. As they become more adept, …
Hallyu And The Traditional Cultural Genes Of Korea, Ki-Duk Kim, Sang-Joon Bae
Hallyu And The Traditional Cultural Genes Of Korea, Ki-Duk Kim, Sang-Joon Bae
Kritika Kultura
Since the year 2000, South Korea has been the propagator of the Hallyu (Korean Wave) that has spread across the world, demonstrating the country’s cultural potential. The subject of Hallyu can be approached from several perspectives, first by identifying its origins, current status, and trends by genre; by looking at its effects and the measures that can sustain the Hallyu phenomenon; and also by examining Hallyu trends by country. This paper analyzes Korea’s traditional cultural genes that affected the creation and spread of Hallyu from a humanistic point of view. The three factors for this analysis are: i) community and …
Islam And Local Culture: The Peril Of State Violence And Hallyu Fandom In Indonesia (With Reference To Palestine), Ingyu Oh
Kritika Kultura
The invasion of Hallyu (or the Korean Wave) subculture in Indonesia created a new pattern of gendered cultural consumption in the largest Islam country in the world. The most ardent Hallyu supporters in Indonesia are women who are organizing massive urban fan gatherings, K-pop concerts, and group tours to Seoul. With a long and devastating record of state violence on Marxists, Chinese, and women in general, current public tolerance to Hallyu by the Indonesian government seems flimsy as female Hallyu fandom is threatening the mainstream Islamic value of feminine subservience. Although the strength of the local culture vis-à-vis Islam in …
The New Korean Wave In The Middle East And Its Role In The Strategic Approach To Medical Tourism In Korea, Suwan Kim
Kritika Kultura
The “Korean Wave” (known as Hallyu in Korean) describes the phenomenon whereby aspects of Korean culture have become popular globally. By conducting a cross-cultural analysis, this study identifies the status and shifts of Hallyu in the Middle East, and analyzes the factors that have helped it spread successfully. This paper also seeks a strategic approach for evaluating the role of the new Korean Wave in the Middle East. The number of Middle Eastern patients and families visiting Korea for medical tourism has risen rapidly in the past few years. Medical tourism from the Middle East is expected to grow, improving …
Roots And Routes: Hip-Hop From South Korea, Ute Fendler
Roots And Routes: Hip-Hop From South Korea, Ute Fendler
Kritika Kultura
With the growing success of hip-hop in South Korea, the discussions about the authenticity of this genre increase and create cleavages between the mainstream and the underground rappers. The paper intends to analyze three examples of the contemporary music scene that are representative of different positions. Taking Simon Frith’s work on popular music as a means to construct identity, the paper suggests questioning the concept of authenticity (“roots”) and proposes instead conceiving hip-hop in South Korea as a movement at the crossroads (“routes”) of various influences and practices.

Amber Liu, K-Pop Tomboy: Reshaping Femininity In Mainstream K-Pop, Paola Laforgia, Keith Howard
Kritika Kultura
South Korean mainstream pop music, known simply as K-Pop, has become such a huge phenomenon in recent years that it is playing a decisive role in reshaping Korean culture and identity. Indeed, the K-Pop phenomenon is much more than just something musical, intertwining a complexity of sound, performance, ethnicity and gender. A contextual analysis needs therefore to take all these elements into consideration. This paper aims to show how K-Pop plays a crucial role in promoting ideologies, and defining gender roles. It does so by analyzing the music and image of the Taiwanese-American originating singer Amber Liu. Liu goes against …

From Localization To Glocalization: Contriving Korean Pop Culture To Meet Glocal Demands, Ingyu Oh
Kritika Kultura
Hallyu (the Korean Wave) has been around the world since the late 1990s. Over the period of twenty years, Hallyu has evolved from a regional entertainment pop to a global cultural content. The evolution of Hallyu, like any other evolutions, has involved a long process of localization and globalization. Both K-pop and K-dramas, the two major pillars of the Hallyu revolution, are foreign imports. K-pop has mostly been influenced by European and American dance music since the early 1990s, whereas K-dramas have been heavily influenced by Japanese trendy TV dramas in the past, particularly during the 1980s. However, the localization …

Webtoon As A New Korean Wave In The Process Of Glocalization, Wonho Jang, Jung Eun Song
Kritika Kultura
With the development of Web 2.0, the online publication of Korean cartoons has increased substantially. The webtoon is a new genre of publishing Korean comics (manhwa) online, and is considered a unique case in the global cartoon market. The increase of Internet users and digital cultural consumption has established conditions for fostering the platform for webtoons and their production. In addition, the popularity of Korean dramas and K-pop has cultivated the spread of webtoons in the countries receiving dramas and K-pop. This study discusses the characteristics of Korean webtoons and their development using the concept of “glocal culture.” The glocalization …

Interrogating Indonesian New Order’S Narrative Of Gestapu: The Leftist Nobles And The Indonesian Communist Party In Umar Kayam’S Stories, Paulus Sarwoto
Kritika Kultura
Although the atrocity around the 1965 coup—better known as Gestapu, Gestok or G 30 S PKI in Indonesia—has been continually on the international humanitarian spotlight, its literary representation in Indonesia has been minimal. The strong hold of the New Order regime and their residue in the current political system must have something to do with this. Among a few vernacular writers coping with the aftermath of the tragedy but is less discussed as such is Umar Kayam. The four texts analysed in this article, “Bawuk,” “Musim Gugur Kembali ke Connecticut,” Para Priyayi and Jalan Menikung: Para Priyayi 2, interrogate the …
