Ordinariness in Disaster: Rereading Brion’s “Story” During the Covid-19 Pandemic
No full textIn contexts of broad structural strain, humanistic psychology points to the deeply embodied, relational, and spatiotemporal nature of literary encounters by agents in history. Through heuristic inquiry, this essay examines thematic transformations of Rofel G. Brion’s Story (1997), an autobiographical collection of poetry, when reread during the COVID-19 pandemic. I reflect on selected poems to reconsider and reclaim themes of intimacy amid solitude through narrative affection, home in exile through connections of care, and possibilities for living in ordinary time

No full textBased on data that was collected as part of a larger multi-sited transnational ethnography of Filipino migrants who live in the Chubu region of Japan and their family members in the Philippines, this paper discusses the unpleasant emotional encounters experienced by transnational families. The narratives presented in this paper show that migrant family members often provide care despite extreme emotional burdens, which have far-reaching implications for their emotional well-being but which is necessary to keep their families functional in difficult times. Additionally, this paper reveals that migrants’ concern for their family members’ welfare coupled with obligations of social reproduction often motivate migrants’ self-sacrifice, which sometimes result in disruptions in emotional relations, even if these ruptures are not likely to fundamentally undermine familial bonds and the strength of kinship ties
Pagkaligaw at Pamamaybay sa Elcano & Magellan
Full text linkTinitingnan sa papel na ito ang nilalaman ng pelikulang Elcano & Magellan: The First Voyage Around the World (dinirehe ni Ángel Alonso, at isinulat nina José Antonio Vitoria at Garbiñe Losana, 2019), at ang konteksto ng kontrobersiyal nitong resepsiyon lalo na mula sa mga Pilipinong manonood. Binigyan ng natatanging diin hindi lamang ang mga implikasyon nitong historyograpikal sa kontemporanyong naratibong pangkasaysayan ng bansa, kundi maging sa mga posibleng epekto na maaaring makuha mula rito ng pinagtutuunang tagatanggap, ang mga bata
Spaces of Affectivity: Innovating Interdisciplinary Discourse in Open, “Free” Space
Full text linkThis essay presents a reflective narrative on an innovative approach taken to create an open,“free” space in which to share ideas and discuss the theme “Spaces of Affectivity” across the disciplines of arts, humanities, and geography with a focus on the exploration and negotiation of socio-spatial cultural productions of identity. These reflections are based on the planning of two symposia held in 2014 and 2015 under the title Spaces of Affectivity at Liverpool Hope University with the remit of encouraging scholars to stand in their own space and engage with cross-disciplinary discourse. What emerged was a deepening awareness of cross-disciplinary commonalities of spatial discourse that can lead to interfaces between material experience and the human imagination. At its heart is a truly spatial matter which shows the importance of paying careful attention to the mutually influencing forces of human embodiment and the contextualizing environment of nature and cosmos
Building Pastoral Capacity in the Post-Pandemic Era alongside of “Human Fraternity”
Full text linkA great number of people have expressed their admiration for the document on “Human Fraternity for World Peace and Living Together” (HF). One of the comments that is commonly heard is, “We will use this document as a guide to build and strengthen good and vibrant interfaith and intercultural relations.” This desire for better relations is validated by a statement in the paper itself: “It is a document that invites all persons who have faith in God and faith in human fraternity to unite and work together so that it may serve as a guide for future generations to advance a culture of mutual respect in the awareness of the great divine grace that makes allhuman beings brothers and sisters” (HF, 4). This statement draws us to ask about how the desire for better relations can be explicated in careful pastoral planning and steps. This paper will respond to such a question
