Spectacle! The Power Of Protest Drama During Martial Law, Glecy C. Atienza Dec 2024

Spectacle! The Power Of Protest Drama During Martial Law, Glecy C. Atienza

Kritika Kultura

The paper aims to identify the streams and influences of protest drama in the rich theatrical productions during Martial Law 1972-1986. The focus is on the different perspectives and commitment that shaped the struggles in form and content in the plays staged by selected groups in a number of provinces in the country. The primary staging ground for discussion is the politics of the spectacle which will be traced through the different dynamics of creating a play from the staged text through the process of producing a play.


Orosipon Kan Bikolnon: Interrupting The Nation, Raniela Barbaza Dec 2024

Orosipon Kan Bikolnon: Interrupting The Nation, Raniela Barbaza

Kritika Kultura

If narration points to notions of fixity in terms of the position of the narrator and the subsequent structuring of events, orosipon, a Bikolnon word for “story,” suggests a refusal to fixity both in terms of the location of the narrator and the structure itself of the story: the story never stops being formed as it passes through multiple speakers. Orosipon, coming from the root word osip which approximates the verb “tell,” points to more than one person involved in an act of telling, which makes the act of telling proper to no one in particular: indeed, it is improper …


Crossing Borders: Philippine Activist Theater And Martial Law, Bonifacio P. Ilagan Dec 2024

Crossing Borders: Philippine Activist Theater And Martial Law, Bonifacio P. Ilagan

Kritika Kultura

Positing theater as political, this paper intends to locate activist theater in the context of the Philippine cultural setting and political milieu on the eve of the Martial Law declaration in 1972. It shall illustrate why this kind of theater, frowned upon by some sectors in the artistic community, had taken unto itself the task of redefining the stage and employing it in a political mass movement that ultimately blazed a trail in Philippine theater and also challenged the socioeconomic structures of society. This paper integrates the theory and practice of the activist theater in the Philippines in the late …


Playwriting In The Time Of Exigency, Rodolfo Vera Dec 2024

Playwriting In The Time Of Exigency, Rodolfo Vera

Kritika Kultura

This is a personal testimony of a dramatist trained and honed in the craft of drama and stage during the Marcos dictatorship. Unable to finish college, and without a formal training in drama or playwriting, my main reason for writing and struggling in the field of theater was to be able to address the need for change in the Filipino audience’s social consciousness. It will deal with the following topics: what my training ground had been like under the informal guidance of playwrights who had just a little bit more training than I had in the craft, the different dramatic …


Philippine Theater In Confinement: Breaking Out Of Martial Law, Bienvenido Lumbera Dec 2024

Philippine Theater In Confinement: Breaking Out Of Martial Law, Bienvenido Lumbera

Kritika Kultura

The declaration of Martial Law during the Marcos administration brought about a period of censorship and a complete rejection of any form of protest against the established figures of authority. Activists then looked for other forms of communication through which they could channel their dissent and rally more people towards the cause. It was during this period that Philippine theater was taken out of the stage and into the streets, when the “art” of the “elite” was brought down to the masses. These efforts also shifted the language of Philippine theater from American English to Pilipino, marking the beginning of …


Socialist Shenanigans And Emerald Epiphanies: The Case Of Margaretta D'Arcy And John Arden, Tim Prentki Dec 2024

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 …


"He Calls His Dada Still": Nineteenth-Century English Radicalism And The Drama Of Pádraic Pearse, James Moran Dec 2024

"He Calls His Dada Still": Nineteenth-Century English Radicalism And The Drama Of Pádraic Pearse, James Moran

Kritika Kultura

This essay explores the extent to which some of the political upheavals of twentieth-century Ireland, and their related theatrical manifestations, might reveal a series of affinities with the organised political radicalism of nineteenth-century England. Specifically, the playhouse dramas written by the executed leader of the Easter Rising of 1916, Pádraic Pearse (also known as Pádraig or Patrick) point back to the earlier Liberal reform meetings that took place in the English midlands. The key connecting figure is the revolutionary leader’s father, James Pearse, who spent his life between Birmingham and Dublin, but who has tended to be overlooked by historians …


"Not Always, But Often": Introduction To A Special Issue On Radical Theatre And Ireland, Victor Merriman Dec 2024

"Not Always, But Often": Introduction To A Special Issue On Radical Theatre And Ireland, Victor Merriman

Kritika Kultura

This article sketches Irish history and how Irish nationalism deployed cultural production – including radical theatre – as a means of asserting itself as a political and moral force. “Radical Theatre” prompts questions around what both Baz Kershaw and Herbert Blau refer to as “efficacy,” insofar as it implies engagements with content, form, and audiences outside of those which characterise accepted, dominant or commercial manifestations of theatre practice. And yet, scholars and practitioners of radical theatre confront the slipperiness of the concept of radical theatre: it shifts emphasis between theatre as cultural intervention for social progress (a critical, subversive, ethical …


Disciplining The Times And Spaces Of Modernism, Pamela L. Caughie Dec 2024

Disciplining The Times And Spaces Of Modernism, Pamela L. Caughie

Kritika Kultura

This introduction provides an overview of selections from Disciplining Modernism (Palgrave 2009), an anthology of critical works that consider disciplinarity in conceptualizing the times and places of modernism. The selections provide extended examples of how a scholar writes about a particular modern artifact or phenomenon, not so much to illustrate how modernism and modernity can mean different things in different disciplines, but to provide various conceptual models for comparative studies of modernism and modernity.


History As Rumor: The Political Fantasy Of The Negrense Elite In Vicente Groyon'sthe Sky Over Dimas, Mayel P. Martin Dec 2024

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 Dec 2024

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.


Ang Pandaigdigang Pananaw Ng Pantayong Pananaw, John Rhommel B. Hernandez Dec 2024

Ang Pandaigdigang Pananaw Ng Pantayong Pananaw, John Rhommel B. Hernandez

Kritika Kultura

Magsisimula ang panayam sa pagpapaliwanag ng Pantayong Pananaw, sa mga ugat nito sa historiyograpiyang Pilipino at mga kilusang indihenisasyon sa ikalawang hati ng ika-20 siglo. Isusunod ang implikasyon nito sa kasaysayan pati na rin sa iba pang agham panlipunan. Sa huli, magtatangkang tanawin ang PP bilang kasangkapan sa pag-unawa hindi lamang ng sangkapilipinuhan kundi ng iba ring bansang kaugnay sa mga interes ng Pilipinas.


Short Notations And Reflections On Pantayong Pananaw, Aaron Rom O. Moralina Dec 2024

Short Notations And Reflections On Pantayong Pananaw, Aaron Rom O. Moralina

Kritika Kultura

This paper answers the question “What is Pantayong Pananaw?” through the subject of its study, its methods, its mode of communicating knowledge, and how it has served as a conscious effort of counteracting Western historiographic discourse. It also discusses the limitations and pitfalls of Pantayong Pananaw as well as its possible directions and trajectories.


Pagpapasa At Pagbabasang-Muli Sa Pp, Myfel Joseph Paluga Dec 2024

Pagpapasa At Pagbabasang-Muli Sa Pp, Myfel Joseph Paluga

Kritika Kultura

Ini-endorso ng papel ang isang exploratoryong paraan ng pagbabasa (at pagbabasang-muli bilang sistematikong pagtatanong) ng isang klasikong teksto ng Pantayong Pananaw (PP) upang, sa minimalistang pagtingin sa isang diskurso, mapalitaw ang ilang susing bokabolaryo at ang batayang balangkas nito. Ang napalitaw na balangkas ay tinataya na isang durableng aspeto ng PP sa istilo, lapit, at mga tema nito. Ang mga susing bokabularyo at mga balangkas ng PP ay maaaring tingnan bilang heuristiks sa pagbubuo ng mga katanungan sa isang nagpapatuloy na pananaliksik.


Pantayong Pananaw And The History Of Philippine Political Concepts, Ramon Guillermo Dec 2024

Pantayong Pananaw And The History Of Philippine Political Concepts, Ramon Guillermo

Kritika Kultura

Zeus A. Salazar’s approach in writing the history of political concepts in the Philippines represents one of the most challenging and insightful directions within his complex body of work. However, despite its positive contribution to this area of study, it seems that further advances towards a more productive and empirical direction is hampered by certain unnecessarily restrictive assumptions. This study is a preliminary critique of a significant flaw in his approach which gives priority to the etymological meaning of rootwords as opposed to a more empirically oriented approach based on the study of the “semantic fields” of concepts and the …


Global Perspectives On Modernity And Modernism: Some Notes On Twentieth-Century Transnational Anticolonial Metaphysics, Leela Gandhi Dec 2024

Global Perspectives On Modernity And Modernism: Some Notes On Twentieth-Century Transnational Anticolonial Metaphysics, Leela Gandhi

Kritika Kultura

These notes are structured around the contention that the early years of the twentieth century witnessed the emergence of a transnational heterodox metaphysics, or properly speaking, postmetaphysics, whose bearer would be the subject of a distinctly modern form of nonviolence. Did these discourses designate a coherent global ethics that we might draw upon to counter the pernicious epidemic of harmfulness in the present world? Can we identify the historical and philosophical catalysts for early twentieth-century postmetaphysics? What bearing does this “movement,” if we may call it that, have upon the question of colonialism? These are some of the questions canvassed …

Paraphrasing Europe: Translation In Contemporary Filipino History, Portia L. Reyes, Ramon Guillermo Dec 2024

Paraphrasing Europe: Translation In Contemporary Filipino History, Portia L. Reyes, Ramon Guillermo

Kritika Kultura

This paper studies three annotated translations into Filipino that have been inspired by the controversial historiographical movement called Pantayong Pananaw (from us-for us perspective), which argued for the use of the national language in academic study: San Agustin’s 1720 letter (by Dedina Lapar), Canseco’s 1897 account of Cavite during the Philippine Revolution (by Rhommel Hernandez), and Marx and Engel’s 1848 Communist Manifesto (by Zeus Salazar). In seeking to understand the translational practices that assist in the production and institutionalization of knowledge today, we ask: what transpires in the Filipinization of an account? In which way is translation significant to indigenization …


The World, The Text, And S. P. Lopez, Rafael A. Acuña Dec 2024

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.


Jose Garcia Villa: Vicissitudes Of Necolonial Art-Fetsishism And The "Beautiful Soul" Of The Filipino Exile, E. San Juan Jr. Dec 2024

Jose Garcia Villa: Vicissitudes Of Necolonial Art-Fetsishism And The "Beautiful Soul" Of The Filipino Exile, E. San Juan Jr.

Kritika Kultura

The publication of Jose Garcia-Villa’s Doveglion: Collected Poems by Penguin Books in 2008 is remarkable not because it reveals a renewed interest in Villa’s work (as Luis Francia claims in the introduction of the book) but because it presents the nostalgic posthumous return of the repressed. Francia, a Villa critic, fails to situate the poet in the context of the Philippines’ neocolonial status. Francia’s mapping of Villa’s trajectory as a poet is teleological; it elides those historical contexts that allowed US imperialist power to dominate the Philippine political economy in certain periods. Timothy Yu, a Chinese-American Stanford scholar, contends that …

Ilocano Immigrant' Renegotiation Of Space In Gumil Hawaii Fiction (Circa 80s), Ma. Socorro Q. Perez Dec 2024

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 …

Killing Time: The Condition Of Exile In The Fiction Of Jose Y. Dalisay, Jr., Cyan Abad-Jugo

Kritika Kultura

The exilic condition extends not only to the Filipino who has chosen to study or live abroad, or is forced to leave the Philippines, but also the Filipino who, though he resides and works in his own country, feels himself in a state of rootless suspension brought about by the circumstances of history and colonization. In this light, all Filipinos—belonging to one or the other geographic, economic, tribal or social group—could be considered exiles, and this could be reflected in our literature. Dolores Feria states: “our literature has always been a consequence of exile.” A Filipino writer’s works could be …
