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 …

Typhoons And The Inequalities Of Philippine Society And History, James Francis Warren Oct 2016

Typhoons And The Inequalities Of Philippine Society And History, James Francis Warren

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Cyclonic storms have helped shape the character of particular regions and areas in the Philippines. But typhoons have not affected all people and all areas in the archipelago equally. Patterns of death and damage from cyclonic storms and the capacity of people to recover and reconstruct their livelihoods reveal differences based on history, regional wealth, and sociopolitical organization. Thisarticle provides comparative examples and explores aspects of the impacts of typhoons—specifically those of 1831, 1882, 1970, 2004, 2006, 2009, and 2013—on Philippine society and history, with particular reference to population increase and cyclonic storms; economic development and typhoons; and political development …

Fetal Personhood In The Christian Philippines: The View From A Visayan Island, Hannah C. Bulloch May 2016

Fetal Personhood In The Christian Philippines: The View From A Visayan Island, Hannah C. Bulloch

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Issues of fetal personhood have been controversial in the Philippines in the context of reproductive health debates, but little is understood about how ordinary Filipinos construct fetal and early infant personhood in the context of their everyday lives. Thisarticle draws on ethnographic research in Siquijor, a Central Visayan island with a Catholic population. Based on conversations about pregnancy and miscarriage, I show that unlike notions promoted by elites of the Catholic Church, which fix personhood to the moment of conception, local notions of personhood are processual. Significantly, ensoulment, while thought to occur at conception, is not sufficient to produce a …

Anthropology And The Aldub Nation: Entertainment As Politics And Politics As Entertainment, Raul Pertierra May 2016

Anthropology And The Aldub Nation: Entertainment As Politics And Politics As Entertainment, Raul Pertierra

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

The links between politics and entertainment in the Philippines are well known, but few have noted these links in the media phenomenon known as AlDub. As a subpart of Eat Bulaga, a long-standing midday TV show, AlDub has gained a life of its own, giving its actors national and even global prominence. How was this possible? Was it happenstance or do basic interests and structures explain its popularity? A deep ethnographic account of how popular culture is generated, reproduced, and consumed reveals its anchoring in material structures the interests of which are often disguised or unacknowledged. Anthropology provides a way …

Negotiating Risk And Uncertainty: Internal Migration And Rural Villagers In Albay Province, Hedda Ransan-Cooper Nov 2015

Negotiating Risk And Uncertainty: Internal Migration And Rural Villagers In Albay Province, Hedda Ransan-Cooper

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Thisarticle examines the role of local discourses of risk and associated affective practices (embodied emotions) in decisions to migrate from rural to urban/peri-urban areas. Drawing on a study in a rural setting in Albay province, it argues that mobility decisions involve negotiation between public discourses about risk and a private self that considers one’s capabilities and experiences. Although the risks associated with mobility are actively managed, these are imbued with uncertainty and are based on incalculable aspects of risk management such as hope and trust, especially among immediate social networks as practices of communal risk management have become increasingly undermined.Keywords: …

The Population History Of The Philippines: A Genetic Overview, Frederick C. Delfin Nov 2015

The Population History Of The Philippines: A Genetic Overview, Frederick C. Delfin

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

This professorial address synthesizes the findings of several studies on the genetics of Philippine population groups and presents them in a manner accessible to nonspecialists. These studies examined different types of DNA (Y-chromosome, mitochondrial, and autosomal) samples contributed by participants in twelve regional centers and nineteen ethnolinguistic groups. The data reveal (a) genetic affinities with different groups in the Asia-Pacific region, (b) genetic signals of ancient demographic events, (c) an ancient genetic history of about 5,000–50,000 years ago, and (d) a complex population genetic structure. This genetic overview has implications for the study of human history, forensics, and medicine.Keywords: DNA …
