Intermittent Departures, Returns, and the Incremental Acts of the Everyday: Paid Domestic Work and Insurgency in Sitio Sibol, Bohol
No full textOur understanding of maids and their condition is confined within the current discourse of domestic labor exploitation and its general assumptions. This study presents an expansion of the discussion as experienced by residents of Sitio Sibol, Bohol including past experiences of NPA (New People’s Army) insurgency and counterinsurgency that partly played an instrumental role in shaping the maid’s experience. Informed by ethnographic research among former and current maids and their community in Sitio Sibol, this study problematizes how the changing context in the community affects the emergence and proliferation of local domestic work. It traces back the community’s history and analyzes both individual and collective experiences, attitudes, and practices as exercises of human creativity when faced with adversity and different conditions of injustice. The shared community life in the sitio established active and passive social networks; and changing political conditions shaped and illustrated the complex process of “pagpapa-maid” revealing realities of human costs usually unaccounted for
La responsabilidad social corporativa: La eficacia de alianzas emparejadas entre organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro y empresas multinacionales en mercados desarrollados y emergentes
No full textResponding to Pope Francis’s appeals in Laudato si’ and tosocietal pressures, multinational enterprises (MNEs; Dunning, 1977) areincreasingly searching for ways to structure demands for corporate socialresponsibility (CSR). Previous literature, however, suggests that the positiveeffects of CSR initiatives are not certain; moreover, alliance-based CSRremains an understudied area. Therefore, we propose a model based ona “matched” alliance approach to increase the efficacy of, and positiveresponse to, CSR initiatives. We argue that MNEs increase the legitimacyand/or business-process efficiency of CSR initiatives by partnering withnot-for-profit (NFP; Schwenk, 1990) organizations in alliances that “match”common objectives with complementary capabilities, which in turn results inpositive responses to CSR initiatives. We propose that CSR activities fromthe following matched alliances will result in more positive media coverage:between MNEs and NFPs, between a local MNE and local NFPs (vs. aforeign MNE and local NFPs), and between local MNEs and NFPs in anemerging (vs. developed) market. Our case and media-intensity analysesfor Walmart’s Katrina Assistance, Infosys’s Campus Connect, and Unilever’sProject Shakti span matched alliances between local and foreign MNEsin emerging and developed markets. Our findings document positivemedia coverage surrounding CSR initiatives whenever MNEs partner withmatched local NFPs. In addition, positive media coverage is more for localrather than foreign MNEs, and for CSR initiatives in emerging, rather thandeveloped, markets.Respondiendo a las llamadas del Papa Francisco en Laudato si’ y a las presiones de la sociedad, las empresas multinacionales (EMN) (en inglés: MNEs; Dunning, 1977) están buscando cada vez más maneras de estructurar las peticiones para la responsabilidad social corporativa (RSC). Sin embargo, los estudios previos indican que los efectos positivos de las iniciativas de RSC no son ciertos. Además, la RSC basada en alianzas sigue siendo un campo poco estudiado. Por lo tanto proponemos un modelo basado en alianzas “emparejadas” a fin de aumentar la eficacia de, y la reacción positiva a las iniciativas de RSC. Sostenemos que las EMN aumentan la legitimidad y/o la eficacia del proceso comercial de las iniciativas de RSC al asociarse con las organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro (OSAL) (en inglés: NFP; Schwenk, 1990) en alianzas que emparejan los objetivos comunes con capacidades complementarias que resultan en reacciones positivas a las iniciativas de RSC. Pensamos que las actividades de RSC de estas alianzas emparejadas resultarán en una cobertura mediática más positiva: entre las EMN y las OSAL, entre una EMN local y las OSAL locales (en comparación con una EMN extranjera y las OSAL locales), y entre las EMN y las OSAL locales en un mercado emergente (en comparación con uno desarrollado). Nuestro análisis de casos así como nuestro análisis intensivo de medios para el proyecto Katrina Assistance de Walmart, el Campus Connect de Infosys y el Project Shakti de Unilever abarcan las alianzas emparejadas entre las EMN locales y extranjeras en mercados emergentes y desarrollados. Los resultados de nuestro estudio muestran una cobertura mediática positiva para las iniciativas de RSC cuando las EMN se asocian con las OSAL locales emparejadas. Además, la cobertura mediática positiva es más para las EMN locales que las extranjeras, y más para las iniciativas de RSC en mercados emergentes que los desarrollados

Get PDFHindi na bago sa madla ang imahen ng isang fan. Subalit, problematikong isipin na ang pagpapahalagang nabubuo ukol sa kanila, partikular na yaong pagtingin sa mga kabataang babaeng taga-hanga, ay nagmumula sa paglalarawang pinalalaganap ng mito at media na palaging nauuwi sa deskripsyong humaling na humaling at isterikal sa puntong nagiging mapaminsala at kahiya-hiya kung kaya’t kinakailangang disiplinahin at bantayan. Sa pagsulong ng internet bilang panibagong espasyong kinalalagakan ang mga kabataang fans at ang kanilang mga praktis, may pangangailangang makapagbigay ng bago at masaklaw na paglalarawan sa mga fans kung saan nakapaloob ang bagong dinamika ng pakikipag-ugnayan at bagong pagtingin sa konsepto ng ‘pagbibigay suporta’ na madalas taliwas sa inaasahan at ipinapataw ng dominanteng industriya.The images of fans to audiences are nothing new. However, it is problematic to think that the perceptions about them, particularly that of young female fans, emanate from myths and media depictions that describe them as fanatical and hysterical to the point of being destructive, embarrassing, and therefore needing discipline and supervision. As the internet provides new spaces for young fans and their practices, there is a need to give new and comprehensive profile to fans where new dynamics and new ways of looking and ‘showing support’ goes against the expectations and demands required for by the dominant industry
