CHARTING (ART AND OTHER CULTURAL) COLLECTIVES: THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND A FEW RAW THINGS ABOUT THE DYNAMICS OF COLLECTIVIZING
Get PDF“Collectives” are DIY complex soupy fares presented in diverse styles of utopian imaginations and occasions. Ideally, they function as alternative sources of nourishment often produced as a healthy counter to prevailing power structures that leave us either hungry or stuffed with a diet empty in nutritional value
K-House: Linguistic-Cultural Synergy among Online Filipino Communities
Get PDFThis ethnographic study examines the significance of linguistic cultural hybridity among online Filipino communities watching Korean drama series. The study demonstrates the interwoven deeds of online Filipino communities in terms of language, performative acts, and habituation interdependent with the residents’ literacy, nature, and environment. Using the generated Inter Phenomenon Linguistic Cultural (IPLC) model, the study appraises the apparent discourses in K-dramas, assesses the residents’ K-drama-related performatives, and underscores the processes of habituation in platforms connected to conversations and meaning-making with others. These findings and processes endorse the principles, praxes, technology, history, and referentiality of language of online Filipino communities that are collectively rooted in their understanding and environment. By extension, the study sustains and empowers glocalized syncretism, cultural synergy, and transculturation
Investigating Linguistic Sexismin Popular Ilokano Songs
Get PDFThis study investigates linguistic sexism within the lyrics of ten popular Ilokano songs using Sarah Mills’ feminist stylistics framework. Analysis focused on both word-level and discourse-level elements, exploring how gender roles and biases are embedded in song lyrics. Despite the pervasive presence of gendered language in many cultures, this research reveals that the selected Ilokano songs largely employ gender-neutral language and portray both male and female characters without obvious bias. The absence of gendered generic words and balanced descriptions of characters challenge traditional views on linguistic sexism in Ilokano, a language spoken by millions in the Philippines and globally. These findings contribute to broader discussions on language and gender, suggesting that linguistic practices in Ilokano songs may reflect evolving societal norms around gender equality
Saysay ng Dogs in Philippine History sa Multidisiplinaryong Pag-aaral ng Kasaysayan at Lipunang Pilipino (The Significance of Dogs in Philippine History in the Multidisciplinary Study of Philippine History and Society)
Get PDFUmalpas at/o umunlad na ang pag-aaral ng kasaysayan ng Pilipinas—hindi na lamang ito isang kanonikal na pamamaraan na may pagkiling at humahango sa kinagisnang positibismong pananaw. Bagama’t kumakalas na roon ang ilang mananaliksik at historyador, hindi ito nangangahulugan ng pagtalikod sa pinagmulang pananaw, bagkus isa itong kaunlarang historiograpikal na habang isinasaalang-alang pa rin nito ang faktuwal na kaalaman, nilalakipan na ito ng samot-saring multidisiplinaryo at/o interdisiplinaryong pananaw na may pagkiling sa disiplinang kinabibilangan at inaambagan ng kaalaman. Humigit kumulang 700-pahina ang aklat ng historyador na si Ian Christopher Alfonso ng National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP)—ang Dogs in Philippine History (DPH)—na may 28-kabanata—sa aking pagbibilang, habang ginagabayan ng 503-piraso ng plate o larawan, 3 mapa, 5 talahanayan, 920 na talahuli, at 496 na sanggunian—ay hindi lamang isang historikal ngunit tematiko rin ang pagkakasalanlan. Ito ay maari rin gawing balangkas at salalayan ng susunod pang mga pagaaral na nagkakaroon ng interes sa kalikasan at kapaligiran.
The study of Philippine history has grown and evolved; it is no longer limited to a rigid, canonical approach shaped by traditional positivist perspectives. While some researchers and historians are moving beyond these conventional frameworks, this does not mean abandoning foundational viewpoints. Rather, it represents a historiographical development: factual knowledge remains important, but it is now enriched by a variety of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives, each influenced by the scholar’s own field and insights. Historian Ian Christopher Alfonso’s Dogs in Philippine History (DPH), published by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP), exemplifies this progress. The book spans roughly 700 pages and 28 chapters. In my count, it includes 503 images, 3 maps, 5 tables, 920 endnotes, and 496 references. Beyond being a historical account, the book is also thematically organized, offering a structure that can guide future research, particularly studies interested in nature and the environment
Culture of Caulerpa lentillifera on Screen Mats
Get PDFCaulerpa lentillifera is one of the species of seaweeds cultivated commercially in the Philippines. C. lentillifera is either cultured in ponds or gathered from the wild. In this study, the use of screen mats as substrate for C. lentillifera was tested for small scale production in ponds or in shallow areas offshore. Seaweeds were fertilized once a day, twice a day, once a week, and after 15 days. The growth was determined after 30 days. The growth of C. lentillifera fertilized once a week was significantly higher at 5.65% a day than unfertilized C. lentillifera at 2.55% a day. The use of screen mats in ponds and shallow foreshore area for the culture of C. lentillifera could be recommended for small scale cultivation.
Navigating Risk Situations Faced by Filipino Youth: Learning to Say “No” through Theater for Development on HIV
Get PDFThe Philippines is one of the countries with the fastest growing number of HIV cases in the last decade. Among age groups, the highest increase in the proportion of cases from 2013–2023 were among 15–24 years old. Because the issue of HIV often overlaps with social and moral discourses, it has often been regarded as a sensitive topic in the country, creating a culture of silence and propagating a norm of passivity that leave vulnerable groups such as the youth in the margins of discourse. Arts-based educational tools such as Applied Theater are used outside the formal education setting to open opportunities for discussion on the topics of HIV, sex and sexuality. However, studies on the use of Applied Theater for HIV in the Philippine context documented in academic literature appear to be scarce. To contribute to the literature on HIV prevention and Applied Theater, and explore the experiences of Filipino youth related to sex, sexuality, and HIV in the context of the Philippines, this study raises the following questions: (1) What are the factors that drive young people into risk situations? (2) What skills did the young people learn in the workshop that could help them in these risk situations? (3) How did they use what they have learned to navigate these risk situations to protect themselves from HIV? Data were gathered from two three-day Theater for Development on HIV (T4DHIV) workshops in Cavite, Philippines. This study discoveredthat young people consider sexual curiosity and peer pressure as the main drivers that lead them to risk situations. To protect themselves from HIV, young people used their refusal skills to avoid relationships or situations they do not want to participate in. This act allows them to regain their agency to express themselves and let their voices – that have been silenced by culture and norms – be heard
Overcoming the Politics of Fear and the Role of Liberal Education in the Filipino Youth’s Formation of Political Emotion
Get PDFEmotion is seen as an uncritical force that can bring detriment in shaping the political terrain of the land. Historically, emotions are seen as negative political vectors that promote uncritical and unthinking culture among the citizens of a given political community. The Philippines as a country has its dilemma when it comes to nurturing negative emotions of some kind; what is rampant in its political landscape is the negative emotions of fear, shame, and disgust.
The danger of sustaining negative emotions can be present in the political atmosphere of many societies around the world. Its detriment is extended to the formation of political emotion among the younger generations. This study intends to pay serious attention to the possibility of redirecting the political emotions of the youth into the formation of positive kinds through a careful analysis of the potential role of liberal education. Our current approaches to civic education do not yet account for the emotional basis of citizenship that will generate the formation of a positive political culture.
Eliminating negative emotions requires a sensible analysis of the factors that contribute to its polarized direction. We live in a time where the generation of politics of fear is rampant among civic leaders. Negative emotion in our political sphere needs to be addressed by cultivating a culture of emotion characterized by compassion and care. Thus, this study sees it imperative to inculcate positivity among the youths at present to better shape the future of our country’s political culture
