Paglalagalag sa Multong-Modernidad ng Lungsod at Nayon: Tatlong Akda ni Jun Cruz Reyes bilang Paglalaboy-laboy at Pananaliksik
Full text linkMalapitang binasa ng papel na ito ang tatlong pampanitikang akda ni Jun Cruz Reyes—Ilang Taon na ang Problema Mo?, Tutubi, Tutubi, ‘Wag Kang Magpahuli sa Mamang Salbahe, at Ang Huling Dalagang Bukid at ang Authobiography na Mali: Isang Imbestigasyon—upang ipanukala ang palaboy bilang Filipinong katapat ng Kanluraning flaneur. Sinundan ang pagbubulakbol at pagbubulay-bulay ng palaboy sa tatlong akda, kung saan itinutumbas ito sa mga tauhan ni Reyes, o kay Reyes mismo. Pinagana ang palaboy—na manunulat, mananaliksik, at manlalakbay din—upang lampasan ang pigura ng flaneur. Ginawa ito sa pamamagitan ng pagsasakasaysayan ng pag-usbong kapwa ng flaneur at ng palaboy. Matatagpuan ang huli sa mga akda ni Reyes: isang aktibistang mag- aaral sa mga unang araw ng Batas Militar; isang mananaliksik na nakikipanayam at nakikipamuhay sa mga nasa laylayan ng lipunan—mga katutubo, isang sniper at organisador para sa rebolusyonaryong kilusan, isang lider-kabataan sa siyudad—at isang guro’t manunulat na tumatawid-tawid sa pagitan ng lungsod kung saan siya nagtuturo at ng kaniyang kinalakhang baryo sa Bulacan. Ang pagsipat sa mga palaboy na ito at sa iba’t ibang uri ng kanilang paggalaw at paglalakbay ay pagmumuni rin tungkol sa mga lungsod at kanayunan at kanilang sari-saring ugnayan.

Closely reading three literary works of Jun Cruz Reyes—Ilang Taon na ang Problema Mo?, Tutubi, Tutubi, ‘Wag Kang Magpahuli sa Mamang Salbahe, and Ang Huling Dalagang Bukid at ang Authobiography na Mali: Isang Imbestigasyon— this paper proposes the image and personage of the palaboy as a Filipino counterpart of the Western flaneur. The palaboy and his meanderings and ruminations are followed and situated in these three works, associating them both with Reyes’s characters and Reyes the author himself. The palaboy—which the paper relates to figures like the writer-researcher and the traveler—is mobilized to engage with and go beyond the figure of the flaneur. This is done by distinguishing the historical contexts giving rise to the flaneur and the palaboy, and locating the latter in Reyes’s three works. In these works, the palaboy takes the form of a student activist during the first days of Martial Law; a researcher interviewing and living with society’s marginalized—indigenous people, a sniper and an organizer for a revolutionary movement, and a youth leader in the cities—and a writer-teacher going back-and-forth the city where he teaches, and his cherished hometown in Bulacan. Looking closely at these three palaboys and the contexts of their moving about and travels also allows for a reflection on the urban and rural spaces and how they variously intertwine with each other
The Quiet Ones: Glenn Diaz. The Quiet Ones. Quezon City: Ateneo de Manila University Press [Bughaw]. 2017. 386 pages
Full text linkExcerpt: Glenn Diaz’s The Quiet Ones opens and ends in an airport. This setting seamlessly fits into the novel’s broad topics, such as mobility and globalization, as well as teasingly situates the narratives—Alvin trying to escape arrest after “robbing” the call-center company where he used to work and Carolina traveling back “home” to Madrid
Ang Walang-Hanggan Ay Narito: Ang Sinasabi ng Pasaway na Hangal sa Maikling Imbestigasyon ng Isang Mahabang Pangungulila ni Edel Garcellano
Full text linkNagsimula ang Maikling Imbestigasyon ng Isang Mahabang Pangungulila sa isang pagtatakang nanghahamon: pagpapasalita sa isang “basag na salamin sa mata” (9). Susunod rito ang pagbanggit sa Aleph, sa “teolohiya ng Isa at Karamihan,” sa “istruktura ng DNA,” at, bago matapos ang unang pahina, kay Minerva (9). Ang sandamakmak na pagbabanggit na tulad ng mga ito ay hindi maikakailang isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit madalas ilarawan ang nobela bilang “pilosopikal” o “intelektwal.” Sa pagsusog rito, susuriin ng papel ang sala-salabid na kaisipang ipinasok sa akda, kung paano sila nag-uugnay-ugnay, at kung ano ang sinasabi at ginagawa ng mga ito sa tatlong bagay o ideya: (1) ang Aleph bilang kabuuan o lahat-lahat, (2) ang nobela sa tabi ng tradisyong reyalista at genreng science fiction, at (3) ang pagpoposisyon ng may-akda at ng kanyang akda sa masalimuot na larangan ng kasaysayan at lipunan. Ito ang panimulang ideya na susubukin sa papel: Ang naratibo ay background lamang. Tinutuntungan lamang ito upang ibida ang pagmumuni tungkol sa pagkakalugar ng kaisipan, pagkukuwento, at pagsulat sa kasaysayan ng lipunan. Kaugnay nito, ang may-akda ay batbat din ng kontradiksyon at hindi na tulad ng lumang paghaharaya rito bilang makapangyarihang taga-ukit ng buong-buong kuwento. Naging kasangkapan kapwa ang akda at may-akda upang ipakita ang materyalidad ng aklat, na siya namang naglalaman ng teksto ng naratibo, ang produkto ng pagsulat
Lives Away from Home and Precarious Writing as Life: Reading Bienvenido Santos’s Postscript to Saintly Life
Full text linkTowards the end of his writing career, Bienvenido Santos published two autobiographies, Memory’s Fictions and Postscript to Saintly Life—a departure in a writing life mostly devoted to penning fictional works. This paper focuses on the last autobiography which mainly looks at Santos’s experiences as a pensionado in America. It pays attention to how Santos writes about his Philippine home while in exile, taking part in a program that is part of the American colonial period. The range of Santos’s emotions—with shame and pride on both ends—while abroad is also examined. How these emotions were manifested in the book served as springboard to analyze Santos’s thoughts about his pensionado experience and locate hints of his insights regarding the fraught post-colonial relationship between the host-land America, and his homeland Philippines. The paper takes off from, and engages the postulations of Timothy Bewes about shame in postcolonial writing, and of Dylan Rodriquez about the violence inhering in the US–Philippine relations. The paper concludes by highlighting how Santos reaffirms the material force of writing, especially in the context of an exiled writer ceaselessly conjuring his native land, and pining for his return
Mga Nagsisilbing Kuwentuhan
Full text linkSumipi ang Mga Nagsisilbing Kuwentuhan sa apat na akda—nina Conchitina Cruz, Allan Derain, Jhumpa Lahiri, at Timothy Bewes— kung saan may bahaging tungkol sa isang tagasilbi, isang kasambahay, o isang eskribyente. Madalas nang banggitin ang ugnayan at tunggalian ng master at slave at maraming permutasyon at salin nito: naghahari at pinaghaharian, amo at alipin, taga-utos at utusan. Bahagi ng kritikal na pihit sa diskursong pangkaalaman, at politikal na praktika ang pagbibigay-pribilehiyo, kundi man pati kapangyarihan, sa mga naaapi, sa mga alipin, sa mga pinaghaharian. Tangka ang Mga Nagsisilbing Kuwentuhan na bigyan sila ng pansin habang pinagagana ang metodo ng pangongopya, isang pamamaraan ng paglikha na masasabi namang marhinalisado, tinutugis, o hindi hinihikayat sa larangan ng panitikan at sining. Narito, kung gayon, ang tambalan ng mga marhinalisadong tauhan na pinagalaw at pinagkabit-kabit sa tulong ng isang marhinalisadong pamamaraan—ang pangongopya

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
