From Stage To Screen: Early Filmmaking Of Indigenous Performers In Highland Central Java, Tito Imanda Dec 2024

From Stage To Screen: Early Filmmaking Of Indigenous Performers In Highland Central Java, Tito Imanda

Kritika Kultura

This paper is based on an empirical study that explores issues around the process of a traditional performance art group in a village in highland Central Java adapting to film production. Wayang orang—or loosely translated human puppet—is a traditional opera-like performance rooted in Central and East Java, Indonesia. As part of a traditional society living in a rural area, members of the group discuss their productions mostly without written documents. Storylines were experienced through performing and watching different shows. Technical skills were built through lifelong intimate practices. The project explores a general explorative question: how does a traditional oral and …


Republishing Folktales: Their Audiences, Readers, And Influences In Modern Indonesian Literature, Sudarmoko Sudarmoko Dec 2024

Republishing Folktales: Their Audiences, Readers, And Influences In Modern Indonesian Literature, Sudarmoko Sudarmoko

Kritika Kultura

This paper presents an exploration of the republishing of traditional stories or folktales, most of which are traditionally oral, into printed form. This republishing activity has resulted in some changes in the stories, including the narrative’s structure as well as writers’ interpretation of the stories. As such, this paper also explains other domains that are also potentially affected by this activity. The narrative of the stories, the profile of the audience and reader, and the use of different media, particularly in the area of contemporary publishing and writing, development in Indonesia, comprise these domains. Furthermore, this paper investigates the republication …


“Komedi Within Komedi”: Moving Pictures And Intermedial Crossings In Turn-Of-The-Century Colonial Indonesia, Dafna Ruppin Dec 2024

“Komedi Within Komedi”: Moving Pictures And Intermedial Crossings In Turn-Of-The-Century Colonial Indonesia, Dafna Ruppin

Kritika Kultura

In the past thirty years studies of early cinema, mostly focusing on the history of film production and exhibition in the West, have been preoccupied with examining the emergence of moving images within their intermedial sphere. The case of moving picture exhibition and consumption in turn-of-the-century colonial Indonesia, with its rich selection of itinerant indigenous and Western amusements on offer, thus presents an especially intriguing case. This article situates itself within this transnational stream of commercial entertainments, known in Malay by the generic term komedi. In the process, it examines stories adapted across different media and cultural contexts, which were …

“Land Is Life”: Reflections On E. San Juan, Jr., Considerations For Filipino Critical Theory, And Notes For Environmental Justice In The United States And The Philippines, Michael Joseph Viola Dec 2024

“Land Is Life”: Reflections On E. San Juan, Jr., Considerations For Filipino Critical Theory, And Notes For Environmental Justice In The United States And The Philippines, Michael Joseph Viola

Kritika Kultura

In this article, I situate E. San Juan, Jr. as a key intellectual figure in the development of Filipino Critical Theory. I explore the ways that San Juan’s interdisciplinary and dialectical analysis of capitalist totality can offer a rich intellectual landscape to address issues of global justice—particularly environmental justice for Filipino/as in the United States and in the Philippines. Building upon San Juan’s rich scholarly archive to analyze the interaction between humans and their environment, this paper foregrounds his contributions for Filipino Critical Theory as an emergent interdisciplinary theoretical framework to reflect upon where Filipino/as have been and put into …


Themes From The History Of Capitalism To The Rise Of Us Empire In The Pacific, With Annotations From Selected Works Of E. San Juan, Jr., Kenneth E. Bauzon Dec 2024

Themes From The History Of Capitalism To The Rise Of Us Empire In The Pacific, With Annotations From Selected Works Of E. San Juan, Jr., Kenneth E. Bauzon

Kritika Kultura

This work reconstructs the history of capitalism through the era of European colonialism and the rise of the United States empire in the Pacific. The reconstruction is done by drawing from the works of E. San Juan, Jr., considered arguably one of the great contemporary cultural and literary critics of our time. In this author’s view, San Juan’s lifetime of works offers living documentation of, among others, the history and thought of the modern world highlighted by the rise of capitalism, laying the basis for contemporary neoliberal globalization, and shepherded to its hegemonic status by the preeminent empire, the United …


E. San Juan, Jr.: Remembering The Struggles During Martial Law, Elmer A. Ordoñez Dec 2024

E. San Juan, Jr.: Remembering The Struggles During Martial Law, Elmer A. Ordoñez

Kritika Kultura

Elmer A. Ordoñez recalls his encounters with E. San Juan, Jr., beginning with his receipt of a manuscript in the early 1970s that he later published as the director of the University of the Philippines Press: Carlos Bulosan and the Imagination of the Class Struggle by San Juan. For Ordoñez, this book marked a turning point in the intellectual trajectory of San Juan who was his former student. Moreover, Ordoñez situates the early and middle aspects of San Juan’s growth as an intellectual and activistin the local and international contexts that have come to shape San Juan’s life. Of particular …


Lessons From E. San Juan, Jr. On Resistance, Diversity, And Anti-Materialism In The Academy, Rachel Peterson, Joel Wendland Dec 2024

Lessons From E. San Juan, Jr. On Resistance, Diversity, And Anti-Materialism In The Academy, Rachel Peterson, Joel Wendland

Kritika Kultura

Throughout his astoundingly productive career, San Juan has unmasked how the intelligentsia becomes imbricated in the abuses of capitalism, colonialism and racism, and demands that those in the privileged space of the academy acknowledge and address ever-increasing inequality. He has dissected the theories and methodologies deployed in pedagogy and scholarship at different historical moments and has shown how issues of class, political economy, and (internal and international) colonialism become abstract and immaterial in the hands of intellectuals, even those who proclaim alliance with the wretched of the earth.


Migration, Imagination, And Transformation: Revisiting E. San Juan’S Carlos Bulosan And The Imagination Of The Class Struggle, Michael D. Pante, Leo Angelo Nery Dec 2024

Migration, Imagination, And Transformation: Revisiting E. San Juan’S Carlos Bulosan And The Imagination Of The Class Struggle, Michael D. Pante, Leo Angelo Nery

Kritika Kultura

This paper argues that an examination of the historiographical trajectory of scholarly works on the Philippine peasantry, particularly peasants in Luzon provinces, and transnational migration can deepen our understanding of Carlos Bulosan’s life and works. Using E. San Juan, Jr.’s Carlos Bulosan and the Imagination of the Class Struggle as the analytic focus in pursuing the argument, we aim to contextualize Bulosan’s life story within the larger framework of the history of Philippine peasant movements and draw connections between his life in America and the contemporary experience of Filipino migrants. To reach these objectives, we need to understand San Juan’s …

Alaalang Pampanitikan: Si Epifanio San Juan, Jr. Sa Panitikang Filipino, Efren R. Abueg

Kritika Kultura

In an essay that he calls literary memory, the acclaimed writer in Filipino Efren Abueg provides a critical biography of E. San Juan, Jr. It begins with San Juan’s coming of age at Jose Abad Santos where he became the editor-in-chief of the school paper, and explores the print culture of the period along the way. Then it transitions into the college years of San Juan in the age of decolonization at the University of the Philippines-Diliman, during which he came under the tutelage of Elmer Ordoñez, Francisco Arcellana, and NVM Gonzales, among others. Abueg, in particular, pays attention to …


From “Game-Like Realism” To The “Imagination-Oriented Aesthetic”: Reconsidering Bourdieu’S Contribution To Fan Studies In The Light Of Japanese Manga And Otaku Theory, Zoltan Kacsuk Dec 2024

From “Game-Like Realism” To The “Imagination-Oriented Aesthetic”: Reconsidering Bourdieu’S Contribution To Fan Studies In The Light Of Japanese Manga And Otaku Theory, Zoltan Kacsuk

Kritika Kultura

Following Casey Brienza’s call for drawing on Japanese “otaku theory” in order to further comics studies, the present article demonstrates how the wider interrelated discourse around anime, manga, and otaku can be productively related to fields such as Western fan studies. Focusing on Azuma Hiroki’s book The Birth of Game-like Realism this paper both highlights the theoretical richness of works which have yet to be translated into English, and emphasizes the importance of manga research – in this case Itō Gō’s book Tezuka is Dead – beyond the confines of manga/comics studies. Building on a novel reading of Azuma’s framework …


Re-Viewing Thomas Lamarre’S The Anime Machine After Hayao Miyazaki’S The Wind Rises: On The Critical Potential Of Anime, Selen Çalık Dec 2024

Re-Viewing Thomas Lamarre’S The Anime Machine After Hayao Miyazaki’S The Wind Rises: On The Critical Potential Of Anime, Selen Çalık

Kritika Kultura

This article aims to demonstrate how exactly Thomas Lamarre reads movement, plot, and characters in The Anime Machine (2009), as defined to an extent, yet not completely determined by the concept of the animetic machine. Mimicking the first part of Lamarre’s book, it approaches Miyazaki’s last work, The Wind Rises (Kaze tachinu, 2013). What Lamarre sees in Miyazaki’s manga eiga is a new way of gaining “a free relation to technology” as idealized by Heideggerian philosophy, but, of course, “in animation” (Lamarre 62). This free, critical relation seems to be most noticeably depicted in Nausicaä of the Valley of the …


Communicating Emotions: How Commercial Manga For Women Approaches 3.11, Olga Antononoka Dec 2024

Communicating Emotions: How Commercial Manga For Women Approaches 3.11, Olga Antononoka

Kritika Kultura

Hagio Moto’s manga series Nanohana was one of the first attempts in female-oriented mainstream manga to depict the 3.11 tragedy and its aftermath. However, it appears to lack in overt social critique, providing instead a highly emotional story about overcoming hardship and maturing. Via a close-reading of Nanohana this article analyzes the modus operandi of social critique in popular manga highlighting the visual conventions of female manga genres and thereby going beyond the plotlines, which have been at the center of critical attention so far. The article contrasts the initial one-shot “Nanohana,” which directly addresses 3.11, with the subsequent three …


Education Of Today Is The Security Of Tomorrow!: Strengthening The Capacities To Create Secure Environments With Cultural Education, Raphael Vergin, Hannah Reich Phd Dec 2024

Education Of Today Is The Security Of Tomorrow!: Strengthening The Capacities To Create Secure Environments With Cultural Education, Raphael Vergin, Hannah Reich Phd

Kritika Kultura

Human security as a people’s perspective on security with a focus on human well-being and relationship-building offers promising alternative concepts to state-centered and structure- focused security strategies. Security is more than increasing weapons, fences and survey cameras. To our understanding, it is something else and involves entirely different mindsets. It demands a people’s perspective on security in which citizenship includes the capacity to create secure surroundings. People can be supported to “learn” security and to focus on their capacities. The subjective dimensions of security, including a person’s emotional management, can be trained. This is why we argue that three dimensions …


Introduction: Manga Beyond Critique?, Jaqueline Berndt Dec 2024

Introduction: Manga Beyond Critique?, Jaqueline Berndt

Kritika Kultura

This introduction to the special issue “Manga Culture and Critique” takes as its point of departure a stark contrast to English-language comics discourse, namely that in contemporary Japan manga is only rarely expected to serve as a means of social critique, at least insofar as the by now predominant notion is concerned, i.e. manga as entertaining graphic narratives first serialized in magazines, inviting readers’ affective investment and fans’ participation in more ways than reading. The special-issue articles, however, consider more notions of manga: single-image satirical cartoons on the one pole, “AMO (anime-manga-otaku) culture” on the other. And even if focusing …


From Leonardo To Picasso (1939–1953): The Masters Who Marked War And Peace In Milan, Silvia Colombo Dec 2024

From Leonardo To Picasso (1939–1953): The Masters Who Marked War And Peace In Milan, Silvia Colombo

Kritika Kultura

This paper intends to highlight the role the arts and the exhibition system had during WWII period in Milan—a strategic centre in the fields of politics, culture and economics. At that time we can notice two main occurrences: the Leonardo exhibition at Palazzo dell’Arte in 1939, and the Picasso solo show at Palazzo Reale in 1953. In the beginning of 1939 the war was more than a threat but, despite that, the fascist regime decided to organize a temporary exhibition dedicated to Leonardo with clear propaganda purposes. After WWII and the defeat of the regime, the public administration of the …

Administering Tolfenamic Acid To Gilts And Sows Before Artificial Insemination Did Not Improve Litter Size But Tended To Reduce Post-Service Serum Prostaglandin F2Α Levels, Pachara Pearodwong, Nithitad Jiebna, Padet Tummaruk Dec 2024

Administering Tolfenamic Acid To Gilts And Sows Before Artificial Insemination Did Not Improve Litter Size But Tended To Reduce Post-Service Serum Prostaglandin F2Α Levels, Pachara Pearodwong, Nithitad Jiebna, Padet Tummaruk

The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine

This study examined the impact of intramuscular administration of tolfenamic acid 10 min before artificial insemination (AI) on serum PGF2α levels and reproductive performance in gilts and sows. In Experiment I, 20 gilts were divided into two groups: control (n = 10) and treatment (n = 10). Serum samples were collected 30 min before and after insemination to measure PGF2α levels. In Experiment II, 175 gilts and sows were divided into control (25 gilts and 56 sows) and treatment (16 gilts and 78 sows) groups. In both experiments, the treatment group received an intramuscular injection of 2 mg/kg tolfenamic acid …


Japan's Soft Power And "Grand Fictions" In Global Venues: Japanese Pop Culture Franchises And Fictionality-Based Tactics, Marco Pellitteri Dec 2024

Japan's Soft Power And "Grand Fictions" In Global Venues: Japanese Pop Culture Franchises And Fictionality-Based Tactics, Marco Pellitteri

Kritika Kultura

This article discusses the notion of soft power and how Japan’s government has recently made use of imaginary characters from “manga” and “anime” to promote the country’s appeal. I focus on the official video clip for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, first released in 2016. This montage features not only Japan’s Prime Minister as well as Japanese athletes and show-business celebrities, but also fictional characters. On the one hand, this cast assists in creating a display of “official Japaneseness” as a presentation strategy for the 2020 Olympics host country, deploying Shinzō Abe as a testimonial. On the other hand, while fiction …


How Industrial Policies Shaped The Globalization Of The Chinese Film Industry Since The 1990s, Xiaolan Zhou Dec 2024

How Industrial Policies Shaped The Globalization Of The Chinese Film Industry Since The 1990s, Xiaolan Zhou

Kritika Kultura

The Chinese film industry experienced more than twenty years of reform that has brought undeniable success, however, it has been confronted by a dilemma in the context of globalization: The “coming in” of foreign films and investments is becoming increasingly convenient and profitable, whereas the “going out” of domestic films stays in a stagnant or even retrogressive situation. This issue results from an essential factor: the government’s intervention, as well as its policies. This article endeavors to study the duality of the government’s role in the film industry. First, it generally creates a favorable economic environment, which coincides with Stiglitz’s …


Fan Entrepreneurship: Fandom, Agency, And The Marketing Of Hallyu In Israel, Nissim Otmazgin, Irina Lyan Dec 2024

Fan Entrepreneurship: Fandom, Agency, And The Marketing Of Hallyu In Israel, Nissim Otmazgin, Irina Lyan

Kritika Kultura

While the overall majority of Hallyu research has looked at the way fans consume Korean popular culture and how it influences their identity, this paper focuses on the way these fans serve as effective agents for marketing Hallyu and how their fandom empowers them to explore new business and social opportunities. Focusing on what we call “fan entrepreneurship,” this paper examines the evolvement of fan communities in Israel and their role as cultural agents transcending different cultural and social contexts. More specifically, it analyzes their role as promoters, distributers, and entrepreneurs of Hallyu. To examine fan entrepreneurship in action, we …


Deepening Conditions Of Precarity In The Korean Game Industry And Collaborative Strategies To Overcome Constraints, Sangkyu Lee Dec 2024

Deepening Conditions Of Precarity In The Korean Game Industry And Collaborative Strategies To Overcome Constraints, Sangkyu Lee

Kritika Kultura

This paper examines how Korean game developers have been experiencing deepening conditions of precarity and makes a few suggestions regarding how they could overcome their structural limitations. Despite the remarkable growth in the Korean game industry, many underlying problems overshadow its success, such as labor exploitation, low wages, employment instability, and alienated labor. This paper uses a qualitative methodology to investigate the implications of the game industry market’s transition from PC online to the mobile game platform since the 2010s, which contributed to the industry’s deteriorating working condition and production system. Given this context, this study explores how the game …
