Directing Destinies : Narratives of Mothers and Manipulation in Cebuano and Japanese Literature
No full textThe Burden of Globalization: Diasporic Dimensions in Peter Bacho\u27s Cebu and Elaine Castillo\u27s America Is Not The Heart
No full textThis article examines how Umar Kayam’s fiction reveals the logic underlying the New Order political legacy through the reproduction of the myth of ethnic purity and anti-communist discourse. It argues that Kayam’s fiction, especially “Musim Gugur Kembali di Connecticut” (“Fall in Connecticut,” 1967), “Sri Sumarah” (1970), “Bawuk” (1973), Para Priyayi (The Nobles, 1992) and his last novel, Jalan Menikung (The Winding Road, 1999), reflect how that essentialist discourse believing in the primacy of certain ethnic and class categories has been deployed effectively in the Indonesian political arena to create false consciousness among the masses. Kayam challenged this by offering a fictional figuration of fluid identity—identity whose quality is not determined by boundaries of race and class categories of the communist, Chinese and Jewish characters. The texts also signify the narrowing of Homi K. Bhabha’s (2002) third space, leaving fewer courses of action for priyayi (Javanese nobles), resulting prominently in corruption. The third space in the Javanese priyayi context does not become a site of empowerment but of corruption and manipulation. It emerges in Kayam’s essentialist priyayi characters who believe in the primacy of Javanese priyayi class not as a progressive reconstruction of the site of postcolonial politics, but as a failure to find a moral center for the emergent nation
Culture on Trial: Translating Gremer Chan Reyes\u27s Men at Sea
No full textTranslation has emerged as a relevant medium through which countries can be familiar with and understand each other, and people can gain access to knowledge which would not have been available in any other way.

Hope Under Assault: Understanding the Impact of Sexual Assault on the Relation Between Hope and Suicidal Risk
No full textThe present study sought to examine for how hope and sexual assault are involved in suicidal risk in a sample of 325 college students. Specifically, we were interested to examine whether sexual assault may play an additive as well as interactive role in the prediction of suicidal risk (viz., suicidal behaviors & reasons for living) above and beyond hope. Results from regression analyses indicated that hope and sexual assault were important and unique predictors of suicidal risk in students. Moreover, we found support for a Hope × Sexual Assault interaction in predicting both suicidal behaviors and reasons for living. Some important implications of the present findings are discussed.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/111887/1/Yu - Project.pdf-
