The Sound Of Change: Afrobeats And The Deconstruction Of African Stereotypes, Ibrahim Yusif
The Sound Of Change: Afrobeats And The Deconstruction Of African Stereotypes, Ibrahim Yusif
Journal of Critical Race and Ethnic Studies
This essay investigates how Afrobeats, a genre rooted in the dynamic cultural traditions of West Africa, serves as a strategic medium to counter the pervasive negative stereotypes about Africa perpetuated in Western media narratives. Often depicted through reductive portrayals of poverty, conflict, and disease, Africa’s representation in Western discourse starkly contrasts with the themes of vitality, resilience, and modernity inherent in Afrobeats music. I analyze the works of artists such as Rema, Davido, Burna Boy, and Tiwa Savage, highlighting how their music celebrates African pride, historical depth, and the empowerment of African women. Additionally, I examine the role of digital …

Toward A Renewal Of Critical Practice: Reflections On The Occupy Movement And Filipino Self Determination, Jeffrey Arellano Cabusao
Toward A Renewal Of Critical Practice: Reflections On The Occupy Movement And Filipino Self Determination, Jeffrey Arellano Cabusao
Kritika Kultura
This essay examines the significance of the developing Occupy movement within the United States, which emerged from a year of global protests (2011). It suggests that one way to broaden its vision of solidarity is to renew our critical practice (“conscientization and action” – borrowing from Brazilian educator Paulo Freire). A renewal of critical practice within the context of this essay involves examining the following more closely: 1) the dynamics of race and class in the United States and abroad, 2) the site of the academy (the politics of knowledge production), and 3.) the significance of our submerged histories of …
Movement, Memory, Transformation, And Transition In The City: Literary Representations Of Johannesburg In Post-Apartheid South African Texts, Anne Putter
Kritika Kultura
“Writing the city,” particularly writing the city of Johannesburg, in post-apartheid South African fiction can be considered a new approach to interpreting South African culture—a new approach that takes into consideration and reflects the changes taking place in present-day South African society. Texts written on Johannesburg such as Kgebetli Moele’s Room 207 (2006) and Ivan Vladislavić’s The Restless Supermarket (2001) are utilizing the subject matter and everyday life of the city as an “idea,” as a means of expressing societal concerns and other important changes taking place in the country as a whole. The paper will identify and consider how …
Memory And The Diasporic Creative Imagination: Preeta Smarasan's Evening Is The Whole Day, Shanthini Pillai
Memory And The Diasporic Creative Imagination: Preeta Smarasan's Evening Is The Whole Day, Shanthini Pillai
Kritika Kultura
The focal point of this paper is the concept of transnational memory and the blurred and fluctuating boundaries of ties with the nation that was once home as depicted in Evening is the Whole Day, a novel by Preeta Samarasan, part of the emergent community of new Malaysian diasporic writers. New Malaysian diasporic writers in the context of this paper are taken to refer to writers who were born in Malaysia but are now settled elsewhere in the globe, and yet are recognizably transnational in that their writings focus on the older country and memories of family, community, and a …
Sneaking Into The Philippines, Along The Rivers Of Babylon: An Intervention Into The Language Question, E. San Juan Jr.
Sneaking Into The Philippines, Along The Rivers Of Babylon: An Intervention Into The Language Question, E. San Juan Jr.
Kritika Kultura
The following are remarks made on 12 March 2008 at the launching of Balikbayang Sinta: An E. San Juan Reader published by Ateneo de Manila UP. Here the author puts forward seven theses through which the contentious “language question” may be reexamined, especially as it touches on issues of national solidarity.
Anatomy Of Exile, Tamara Powell
Anatomy Of Exile, Tamara Powell
Kritika Kultura
This review essay provides an overview of the poetry and essays in E. San Juan, Jr.’s Balikbayang Mahal: Passages from Exile. Close attention is paid to “Mask of the Poet,” “Spring in Den Haag, Nederland, 25 March 2007,” “Vicissitudes of the Love and Death of Vladimir Mayakovsky,” and “Sa Loob at Labas Ng Bayan Kon Sawi: Emergency Signals from a Filipino Exile.” The book as a whole combines the postmodern idea of the lack of authentic, monadic self with the ancient idea that everything is connected.

Socialist Shenanigans And Emerald Epiphanies: The Case Of Margaretta D'Arcy And John Arden, Tim Prentki
Socialist Shenanigans And Emerald Epiphanies: The Case Of Margaretta D'Arcy And John Arden, Tim Prentki
Kritika Kultura
This essay explores the two meanings of “radical” – the popular one of “sharp-edged’”or “extreme” and the original one of “rooted within the culture” – in relation to selected works of D’Arcy and Arden: The Non-Stop Connolly Show (1975), Vandaleur’s Folly (1978) and The Little Gray Home in the West (1978). Within the space of contradiction between these meanings, the paper considers such issues as the political function of the outsider, the rival claims of reform and revolution, relationships between text and means of production and between forms and audience ownership. The perennial question of the battle between republicanism and …
History As Rumor: The Political Fantasy Of The Negrense Elite In Vicente Groyon'sthe Sky Over Dimas, Mayel P. Martin
History As Rumor: The Political Fantasy Of The Negrense Elite In Vicente Groyon'sthe Sky Over Dimas, Mayel P. Martin
Kritika Kultura
This ideological critique reads Vicente Groyon’s The Sky Over Dimas in its appropriation of historiographic metafiction. The paper argues that its two borrowed modes, historiography and metafiction, function as a symbolic act following Fredric Jameson’s Marxist interpretive ground of the political. In The Sky Over Dimas, historiographic metafiction is a symbolic act that articulates the political unconscious/fantasy of the landed elite while repressing their role in the perpetuation of the feudal system of sugar in Negros. This provisionalizing or bracketing of history in the novel, unlike other historiographic metafictional texts like Great Philippine Jungle Energy Café, State of War and …
The Colonial Doubling, Or The Challenge For Colonial Authority, Yohanes Hartadi
The Colonial Doubling, Or The Challenge For Colonial Authority, Yohanes Hartadi
Kritika Kultura
This essay discusses R.M. Minke’s (partial) presence in Pramoedya Ananta Toer’s The Buru Quartet. The quartet starts with signs exhibiting the triumph of Western colonialism in the Dutch East Indies. The Western-educated Minke acknowledges the superiority of Western science and technology. He writes in Dutch, the signifier of the colonial authority. This essay examines Minke’s adoption of Western culture and the colonial representation where his (partial) presence challenges the authority of colonial discourse. Framed within Bhabha’s theory of hybridity, this essay will find out how the colonial discourse is always in the state of splitting which menaces the colonial authority.
The World, The Text, And S. P. Lopez, Rafael A. Acuña
The World, The Text, And S. P. Lopez, Rafael A. Acuña
Kritika Kultura
The paper studies Salvador P. Lopez’s position as a secular critic by analyzing his milieu during the Commonwealth period, criticism of his collection Literature and Society, and the content of essays from the same collection in light of the debate between “art for art’s sake” and proletarian literature. The theoretical framework used is Edward Said’s secular criticism.
Ilocano Immigrant' Renegotiation Of Space In Gumil Hawaii Fiction (Circa 80s), Ma. Socorro Q. Perez
Ilocano Immigrant' Renegotiation Of Space In Gumil Hawaii Fiction (Circa 80s), Ma. Socorro Q. Perez
Kritika Kultura
Migration, transportation, overseas labor, globalization, etc., have spawned complex and overdetermined consequences—among them the unprecedented migration of Filipinos, particularly Ilocanos, to Hawaii. The Philippines’ colonial history and neo-colonial realities often figure in the Filipinos’ construction of their identity in Hawaii, resulting in their essentialization as unskilled, uneducated, and unassimilable plantation laborers. The decline of the plantation era, however, led to the reconstitution of the Ilocano labor force into the “new plantations” of the tourism industry’s hotel and restaurant sectors. The new set-up is nonetheless rooted in what E. San Juan calls the “integration of Filipinos into US society on the …
Caveats On The Problem Of Understanding Peirce's Semiotics And Pragmatism, E. San Juan Jr.
Caveats On The Problem Of Understanding Peirce's Semiotics And Pragmatism, E. San Juan Jr.
Kritika Kultura
“Caveats” is San Juan’s response to “Addendum” in which he praises Stecconi’s focus on Peirce’s theory of knowledge rather than merely on his linguistic paradigm. San Juan, however, disagrees with Stecconi for “conflating the various pragmatisms into one lump.” San Juan prefers to regard Peirce as “a moderate realist” and reiterates the potential relevance of Pierce’s semiotics to the global war on terrorism and the Sri Lankan civil war.
Signs, Meaning, Interpretation: C. S. Peirce's Critique Of Deconstruction And Post-Structuralism, E. San Juan Jr.
Signs, Meaning, Interpretation: C. S. Peirce's Critique Of Deconstruction And Post-Structuralism, E. San Juan Jr.
Kritika Kultura
From the perspective of Peircian semiotics, this paper presents a prolegomenon of “a science of pragmaticist aesthetics.” Following the fundamental epistemological categories of C. S. Pierce, San Juan reads Michael’s Ondaatje’s Anil’s Ghost as unraveling the anatomy of terror in Sri Lanka. Such a reading, for San Juan, “elicit signs of whether we, and others in the collaborative enterprise, embody,” quoting Pierce, “an intelligence capable of learning by experience.”
The Case Of The Disappearing Filipino American Houseboy: Speculation On Double Indemnity And The United States Imperialism, Victor Bascara
The Case Of The Disappearing Filipino American Houseboy: Speculation On Double Indemnity And The United States Imperialism, Victor Bascara
Kritika Kultura
The creations of a new cultural formation, US imperialism, development, and globalization are traced in this article by the use of James M. Cain’s 1936 pulp novella-turned-film Double Indemnity. Representations of the Fil-Am houseboy, his disappearance and re-appearance in the texts, provide an impetus for discovering the cultural transitions from the colonial to the postcolonial periods.
En-Gendering Desire In Aida Santos's Lesbian Poetry, Danicar Mariano
En-Gendering Desire In Aida Santos's Lesbian Poetry, Danicar Mariano
Kritika Kultura
Lesbian feminist literary criticism seeks to deconstruct the essential categories of male and female and their “natural” link to the production of desire, enabling an insightful criticism that formalism and feminism alone cannot fully venture in. Thus, this lesbian feminist literary reading of Aida Santos’s poetry critiques heteropatriarchy in language, desire and gender by questioning the binary assumption operative in them. A binary logic defines women and men by what each are not, highlighting one sex over the other, and presenting them as in need each other. This patriarchal assumption intersects with compulsory heterosexuality to marginalize lesbian existence in the …
Fostering Conceptual Roles For Change: Identity And Agency In Esea Teacher Preparation, Brian Morgan
Fostering Conceptual Roles For Change: Identity And Agency In Esea Teacher Preparation, Brian Morgan
Kritika Kultura
English Changing, the theme and title of the 2009 ESEA conference held in Manila, raises specific challenges for language teacher education: To what extent do we prepare teachers to be passive recipients of the social, cultural, and economic changes that align with the global spread of English? Alternatively, how might we encourage teachers to become active participants—“agents of change”—through their mediation and implementation of language curricula and pedagogy? The author addresses such questions by first reflecting on his own personal and professional development in EFL and EAP teaching contexts. These experiences are then related to the growing research literature in …

Okinawa Studies In Taiwan Under Japanese Rule: Focusing On The Use Of The Word “Nantō”, Takahiro Teshima
Okinawa Studies In Taiwan Under Japanese Rule: Focusing On The Use Of The Word “Nantō”, Takahiro Teshima
Kritika Kultura
In the modern period, certain research on Okinawa utilizing the noun “nantō,” which signified the southern islands, was known as Nantō studies. It accentuated Okinawa as the southernmost portion, or one component, of Japan, emphasizing Okinawa’s identity as a place that preserves old Japanese culture, based on the hypothesis that culture originates in the center of a cultural region and spreads to the frontier. This article examines the possibilities and limitations of Nantō studies in colonial Taiwan. Under the academic guidance at Taihoku Imperial University, including Japanese history, which had previously received less attention in prior research, Nantō studies could …
Why Should We Care About Care? Popular Care-Narratives And The Dependency Critique, Jay Hee-Jeong Sohn
Why Should We Care About Care? Popular Care-Narratives And The Dependency Critique, Jay Hee-Jeong Sohn
Kritika Kultura
This essay analyzes representations of care and dependency in popular narratives from the Global North, re-appropriating Eva Feder Kittay’s “dependency critique” as an analytical lens. Through examinations of films like Plan 75, I Care a Lot, The Bacchus Lady, Her, I’m Your Man, and La Maison de Himiko, it explores how these narratives engage with contemporary care issues, including the commodification and gendering of care work, fantasies of automated care, and alternative care models beyond traditional family structures. The analysis reveals how popular culture both reflects and shapes societal attitudes towards care, dependency, and human dignity. By interrogating these representations, …
From Utopian Enclave To Zombified Island: Disaster Capitalism And The Reassertion Of Cuban Identity In Alejandro Brugués’ Juan Of The Dead, Jungwon Park
Kritika Kultura
Cuba, expected with the 1959 revolution to become a utopian enclave in Latin America and beyond, has undergone political and economic hardships since the collapse of the Soviet Bloc, known as the Special Period. However, what has been the fate of this country, which remains one of the most isolated and disconnected in the world, in the twenty-first century? Cuba’s first zombie comedy film, Juan of the Dead (dir. Alejandro Brugués, 2011), depicts the nation’s dystopian present and uncertain future through social criticism, political satire, and burlesque humor. This essay argues that the film’s cannibalistic, infectious zombies allegorize the traumatic …
The Failure Of Community And The Future Of Communitarianism In Asia And Latin America, Alex Taek-Gwang Lee
The Failure Of Community And The Future Of Communitarianism In Asia And Latin America, Alex Taek-Gwang Lee
Kritika Kultura
This article examines the complex dynamics between national identity formation, community transformation, and global crises through multiple theoretical frameworks. Beginning with Kafka’s prescient diary entry about World War I and its resonance with the current Ukraine conflict, the analysis expands to explore Benedict Anderson’s concept of “imagined communities” and its application to postcolonial nation-building in Asia and Latin America. Drawing on Spinoza’s political philosophy, particularly his conception of democracy, I develop a framework for understanding how communities navigate between tradition and modernity in the aftermath of World War II. The research engages with both Anderson’s theory of nationalism and Antonio …
Communication As A Mobile Field: The Critical Dialogue And Exchange Between The Vatican Doctrine On Social Communication And Secular Communication Sciences, Joyce Arriola
Kritika Kultura
The Decree on Social Communication called Inter Mirifica was one of the 16 documents that were produced by the Catholic Church at the Second Vatican Council (1962–1965). It guided the Church in engaging the modern world, particularly through the means of communication. This came at the height of the positivist inflection of communication studies, which began as an academic discipline when the first doctoral program was established in the United States in 1943. While the communication discipline grew steadily as a science, producing its own theories and adopting its specific research methodologies and protocols, it also developed along humanistic lines, …
Filipina Domestic Workers As Contemporary Working-Class Poets: Writing As A Transformative Force, Luka Lei Zhang
Filipina Domestic Workers As Contemporary Working-Class Poets: Writing As A Transformative Force, Luka Lei Zhang
Kritika Kultura
In recent years, there has been a surge in the publication of poetry collections written by Filipina domestic workers across various locations, including Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong. Notably, these poets have elected to publish their work through small independent presses, such as Poetry Planet Book Publishing House in the Philippines, rather than the more prevalent trend of migrant worker writings appearing in literary competitions and anthologies. The emergence of these poetry collections represents a unique and timely literary and cultural landscape that merits academic attention. This paper begins by contextualizing them as part of contemporary working-class literature and introducing …
Dancing Into Oblivion: The Pilipino Cultural Night And The Narration Of Contemporary Filipina/O America, Theodore S. Gonzalves
Dancing Into Oblivion: The Pilipino Cultural Night And The Narration Of Contemporary Filipina/O America, Theodore S. Gonzalves
Kritika Kultura
How have performances developed by Filipino Americans over the twentieth century conveyed important lessons about culture, nation, and community? In other words, what do Filipino American cultural performances have to say about the formation of “national identity” and “community”? I select three contexts to highlight these changes: the postindustrialization of the US economy; the reaction to race, taxes and education in the Bakke vs. UC Board of Regents decision; and the political realignment of the Reagan democrats. We see the continued immigration of Filipino so-called “professional” families to the United States. Their children seek senses of themselves amidst attacks on …
