Mga Bintana Ng Liwanag Sa Hilaga, Kristoffer Brugada Dec 2024

Mga Bintana Ng Liwanag Sa Hilaga, Kristoffer Brugada

Kritika Kultura

Writing as an award-winning documentary producer and writer for television, Kristoffer Brugada considers Rays of the Invisible Light as a needed opportunity to hear what young Moro writers from the South feel about their own culture. In particular, Brugada lauds their attempt to give an unflinching look at local practices that outsiders may regard as politically incorrect, like the keeping of household slaves or suguon. Brugada also admires the authors’ complex treatment of issues in cases where Moros themselves reject tradition, like pork intake which is considered Haram or unclean. Although Brugada feels that the contributions are uneven in style …

Resuming The ‘Skilled Worker’ Identity: The Filipinas’ Strategies In Labour Market Participation In Melbourne, Australia, Cirila P. Limpangog Dec 2024

Resuming The ‘Skilled Worker’ Identity: The Filipinas’ Strategies In Labour Market Participation In Melbourne, Australia, Cirila P. Limpangog

Kritika Kultura

Through the lens of culture intersecting with gender, race and class, this monograph looks at the reconfiguration of skilled worker identity of 20 Philippines-born women who have immigrated to Australia. Through interviews and analyses of their lived experiences, it attempts to comprehend the complexity of their unemployment, from their encounter with the labor market, to their attempts in breaking into the workforce. It contextualizes the institutional disadvantages and discrimination befalling migrant women of non-English speaking background, as well as housework and mothering responsibilities they continue to resist at home. The complex interaction of the women’s higher education, English language proficiency, …

Memory Work, Delia D. Aguilar Dec 2024

Memory Work, Delia D. Aguilar

Kritika Kultura

In this piece of memory work, Delia Aguilar reflects on the meaning of coming home from exile. Aguilar opens with a story of a trip where the author and E. San Juan, Jr. regarded the ruins of Escolta, Manila’s former fashionable district. Using this story, Aguilar meditates on the ethics of memory and the politics of witnessing history. This is the history of her partnership with San Juan in which their embrace of radical politics has become their way of coming alive to a world marked by “the banality and dreariness of the quotidian.” For Aguilar, to speak about this …


Metakomentaryo Sa Pagkakataon Ng Kolokyum Ukol Sa “The Places Of E. San Juan, Jr.”, E. San Juan Jr. Dec 2024

Metakomentaryo Sa Pagkakataon Ng Kolokyum Ukol Sa “The Places Of E. San Juan, Jr.”, E. San Juan Jr.

Kritika Kultura

In a provisional synthesis of his lifework, E. San Juan, Jr. surveys the issues and aporias that define his critical oeuvre. He warns at the outset against the narcissism of autobiographical acts, or what he calls the selfie mode. In locating himself, San Juan uses instead the historicizing lens. In this metacommentary, San Juan locates his life project between his birth in 1938, which saw the defeat of the Republican forces in Spain and the rise of fascism in Germany and Italy, and the new millennium marked by 9/11 and imperialist terrorism. He begins with the class background of his …


Vernacular World Making: E. San Juan, Jr. And The Rehearsal For The New International, Charlie Samuya Veric Dec 2024

Vernacular World Making: E. San Juan, Jr. And The Rehearsal For The New International, Charlie Samuya Veric

Kritika Kultura

Focusing on E. San Juan, Jr.’s The Radical Tradition in Philippine Literature, which forms the matrix of his thought as a historical materialist critic, this essay traces the development of a central argument in the author’s body of work: namely, Philippine literature—diverse in form, expansive in reach—is progressive and revolutionary. Using such a fundamental argument with complex effects, I explore its implications for rethinking not only the scope of Philippine literature, but also for reimagining human solidarity, which San Juan aptly terms the New International. As I will suggest, the New International is an important form of planetary consciousness from …


“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.


E. San Juan, Jr. At Ang Diskursong Kulturang Popular, Rolando B. Tolentino Dec 2024

E. San Juan, Jr. At Ang Diskursong Kulturang Popular, Rolando B. Tolentino

Kritika Kultura

While E. San Juan, Jr. admits that he has done little scholarship on popular culture, my contention is that his body of works—especially in the areas of cultural revolution, Third World literature, and diaspora—provides a substantial contribution and intervention in Philippine cultural studies and popular culture studies. His writings on these typify the critical resolve in the cultural turns as experienced in the rise of cultural studies. In particular, it is useful to the analysis of popular culture, representing a framework that has integrity, even in the mapping of the contemporary popularity of social media platforms. This personal essay analyzes …


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 …


Past And Futures Of E. San Juan, Jr., Charlie Samuya Veric Dec 2024

Past And Futures Of E. San Juan, Jr., Charlie Samuya Veric

Kritika Kultura

In this synthetic introductory essay, I consider the places of E. San Juan, Jr. as gleaned from the contributions to this special section: from San Juan’s childhood in Manila and early education at the University of the Philippines at a time when veterans of the 1898 Revolution were still alive and peasant-based insurgency was on the rise; to his implicit contribution to the study of popular culture in the Philippines in the context of the emergence of nationalist struggle in the 1960s; to his turning point as a materialist literary critic who wrote the study on Bulosan which coincided with …


Alaalang Pampanitikan: Si Epifanio San Juan, Jr. Sa Panitikang Filipino, Efren R. Abueg Dec 2024

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 …


Kouno Fumiyo’S Hiroshima Manga: A Style-Centered Attempt At Re-Reading, Takeuchi Miho Dec 2024

Kouno Fumiyo’S Hiroshima Manga: A Style-Centered Attempt At Re-Reading, Takeuchi Miho

Kritika Kultura

Kouno Fumiyo’s graphic narratives about Hiroshima, beginning with Yūnagi no machi, sakura no kuni (Town of Evening Calm, Country of Cherry Blossoms, 2004), have drawn attention as a new kind of A-bomb manga, but they have also met with harsh criticism by historians who privilege story and representational content when approaching manga. Against their charge of a lack of criticality, this review article highlights the critical potential of Kouno’s graphic narratives by focusing on how comics-specific style, especially paneling and linework, affects both narrative content and the act of reading. Kouno’s works exhibit a number of pecularities, ranging from what …


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 …
