Interdisciplinarity and Ignatian Pedagogy
Trinidad, Jose Eos; Ateneo de Manila Unviersity
<p>Jesuit institutions of higher education have addressed the call to interdisciplinary studies through courses, programs, books, and curricula; however, less is understood about how a specific part of these institutions—that is, Ignatian pedagogy—is itself interdisciplinary. Through a historical and textual analysis of foundational Jesuit documents, particularly The Characteristics of Jesuit Education and Ignatian Pedagogy: A Practical Approach, I argue that Ignatian pedagogy is interdisciplinary in its assumption, perspective, and solution, while at the same time a pedagogical paradigm that enriches the practice of interdisciplinary studies, given the paradigm’s experiential focus, contemplative criticality, and action orientation. As such, there arises a relationship of mutual enrichment between Ignatian pedagogy and interdisciplinarity: each possibly contributing to the practice of the other. This article ends with practical challenges and opportunities stemming from this interaction. </p><p>KEYWORDS: interdisciplinary studies; Ignatian pedagogical<br />paradigm; Jesuit higher education; Ignatian spirituality; education</p>

Beneath the Glitter and Chaos: Philippine Popular Culture and Society
Reyes, Soledad S.; Ateneo de Manila University
popular culture; komiks; interdisciplinarity; Philippine cultural studies
<span>This paper examines the ways in which popular texts have been perceived in the Philippines and explores the reasons for their denigration in academe for decades. The discussion attempts to show how the events of the late 1960s and 1970s marked a change in the way such texts as films, komiks, and theatrical performances could be studied from a variety of approaches beyond Formalism and Marxism. The paper also proposes ways this field of study can be mined in the classroom as a way of developing critical thinking among students.</span>

A Balanced Faith, a Balanced Life: Another Key to Happiness
Locker, Markus Ekkehard; Ateneo de Manila University
Goebel, Udo; Ateneo de Manila University
happiness; orthodoxy; orthopathy; and orthopraxy
<p>The starting point of this article is that a b alanced faith life is the foundation to happiness in the Christian sense. This article considers this suggestion from a historical perspective, i.e., by a survey of three reformations that occurred within the last five hundred years. Specifically, these are Luther’s challenge to orthodoxy, the Pietist movement in the seventeenth, and the Social Gospel and Missionary Movement in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The article specifies what each of these reformations contributed to the development of an understanding of faith as a balance of notitia, assensus, and fiducia. To shed light on these dimensions, the article will look at three key concepts that characterize these reformations; orthodoxy, orthopathy, and orthopraxy. Biblical references will be used to illustrate each point. </p>

Socio-linguistic Heterogeneity in the Writings of Selected Malaysian Indian Authors Who Write in English
Shangeetha, R. K.; Universiti Teknologi MARA
Pillai, Shanthini; Universiti Kebangsaan
South Asian diaspora; Malaysian literature; Malaysian Indian writings; speech patterns; code variation
This paper aims to present the linguistic heterogeneity of the Malaysian Indian community that is often thought to be homogenously “Indian” through a comparison of the socio-linguistic signifiers in four English-language Malaysian novels. The variety of real-life speech patterns and code variations in K. S. Maniam’s The Return, Rani Manicka’s The Rice Mother, Preeta Samarasan’s Evening Is the Whole Day, and Sunil Nair’s When All the Lights Are Stripped Away reveal the linguistic heterogeneity of the Malaysian Indian creative imagination. Nuanced differences in speech patterns and codes from novel to novel counterbalance stereotypical representations of the Malaysian Indian community.

Bilibid Weeks: An Account of Prison Theater in the Philippines
Abad, Ricardo G; Ateneo de Manila University
Magno, Nicolo Ricardo; Roleplayers, Inc.
Prison theater; Bilibid theater; prison reform and rehabilitation; Special Classes for Children in Conflict with the Law; Shakespeare in prison, RolePlayers
<p>For three years, the training company RolePlayers, Inc., worked with young male inmates at the Special Classes for Children in Conflict with the Law (SC-CCIL), a unit of the New Bilibid Prison, in two theater productions that were shown to the prison community and the external public. The first production, staged in 2016, was a devised piece called <em>Tumbang Preso</em> (Knock down the Prisoner); the second production, mounted in 2018, was the Pyramus–Tisbe scene from William Shakespeare’s <em>A Midsummer Night’s Dream</em>, in Filipino translation. The productions’ immediate impact, however, lies beyond the plays. For the young inmates, prison theater served as an opportunity to learn new skills, gain new perspectives, receive<br />emotional support, and increase their chances of getting released. This paper documents the prison–theater project, the challenges the organizers faced, the lessons they have learned, and the paths that can be taken to sustain prison theater.</p>

Nick Joaquin and Groovy Kids: A Critique of His Stories for Children
Gutierrez, Anna Katrina
Nick Joaquin; globalization; glocalization; hybridity; children’s literature
<p>Nick Joaquin has been lauded as a journalist, historian, and novelist, but to a generation of Filipino readers he is, to recast his own words, a portrait of the children’s storyteller and mythmaker as Filipino. In Pop Stories for Groovy Kids (1979), Joaquin’s fairy tales connect Filipino children to global archetypes while rooting them in Philippine tradition and history. His retellings and adaptations simultaneously foreground and interrogate the role of myth in the construction of the nation and the Filipino child. Like Severino Reyes (“Lola Basyang”) before him, his adaptations subversively resist the political hegemony of the time. This presentation examines how Joaquin layers and blends Western and Philippine folk tales into modern myths that create “groovy” children.</p><p> </p>

Ang Konsepto ng Planetisasyon ni Teilhard de Chardin: Isang Pagsusumubok Bigkasin ang Meron
Strebel, Wilhelm P.J.; Ateneo de Manila University
ako-ismo; egoisme; evolution; kapatiran ng mga persona; pagbabalik-tiklop; réflexion; planetisation; science
In his book Pambungad sa Metapisika, Roque J. Ferriols, SJ, stresses that metaphysics is a practicum. Metaphysics makes one aware of reality, and this awareness drives the person to affirm, respect, and work and move in accord to and within it. This response to reality is what Ferriols calls “pagbigkas sa meron.” Ferriols also devotes a chapter of his book to the thought of the French paleontologist, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, SJ. The paper explores how this understanding of Teilhard’s thought leads to the practicum identified above as “pagbigkas sa meron.” The paper begins with an exposition of the key concepts found in Ferriols’s book relevant to Teilhard’s “planetisation,” or the furling back upon itself of a “bundle” of potential species around the surface of the earth, a movement that could lead to the destruction of humankind itself but which could also occasion unity or what he called the “brotherhood of persons.” Then it argues that Teilhard’s concept of planetisation implies an act of “pagbigkas sa meron.”

Caught in the Flash: Visual Subjects of American Imperialism at the Battle of Caloocan
Spaeth, Elizabeth; University of Chicago
Philippine American War; Battle of Caloocan; American Empire; Visual Representations of Violence; Photojournalism
<p>This paper focuses on the revolutionary use of photojournalism in Leslie’s Weekly and Harper’s Weekly from 1899 to 1901 during the Philippine- American War, in particular at the Battle of Caloocan.1 I discuss the context of visual journalism and social realism from the Civil War to the 1890s as well as the shift from caricature illustrations to realism in photography and articles. I trace the “commodity racism” involved in American consumerism during the Philippine-American War that paralleled the voyeuristic consumption of the Filipino dead and the development of a gendered and classed American nationalism. As American culture shifted more towards a focus on the individual and personhood in amateur photography and social realism, Filipino bodies were nevertheless treated as objects and trophies of war and caricatured as savages in visual representations.</p>

Habermas and the Universe of Cultures
Cabunilas, Shierwin A.
This paper presents the role that culture plays in the web of people’srelationships. It aims at exploring the possibilities of intercultural discoursein the universe of cultures by appropriating the contributions of JürgenHabermas’s discourse ethics. It would be argued that a positive outlookon the plurality of cultures can help nurture one’s cultural heritage, andcan at the same time challenge and break through ethnocentrism.

Loob at Kapwa: Mga Unang Hakbang 1 Patungo sa Isang Pilipinong Birtud-Etika Gamit si Sto. Tomas de Aquino
Reyes, Jeremiah A.; Katholieke Universiteit Leuven
Filipino Philosophy; Aquinas; Loob; Kapwa; Virtue Ethics
<div class="column"><p><span>In this article we introduce a Filipino Virtue Ethics, or an Ethics of “Loob” and “Kapwa” using the comprehensive philosophical resources of Aqui- nas, on the one hand, and the research of Filipino scholars, on the other. The result is a virtue ethics that is thoroughly relational and inter- personal, in contrast with the more individual-based Thomistic ethics or modern ethical systems. This new systematization of concepts allows for a greater depth of interpretation of popular Filipino “values” (which we insist are in fact “virtues”) such as “kagandahang loob,” “utang na loob,” “bahala na,” “lakas ng loob,” and “hiya,” an interpretation which enables us to bring out their truly positive characteristics. </span></p><p> </p></div>

Exhibiting the Exotic at the Exhibition:Music and the Evolutionary Sociocultural Continuum at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair
Kendall, David; La Sierra University
<p>The World’s Fair had long been a showcase of the progress and enlightenment of the modern Western nation, justified partly through the popularization of the new field of sociology that provided a linear evolutionary model of human sociocultural development. This model was available for illustration in St. Louis in 1904 largely due to the American possession of the Philippines. The new colony boasted many ethnic groups at various levels of social and cultural development, allowing the Fair organizers to display both the range of the evolutionary sociocultural continuum and the benefits of American colonialism in one large 47-acre “habitat.” Another effective method through which the continuum was realized was popular music at the Fair, especially in the many military-style bands that performed there, including the Philippine Constabulary Band. Popular bands of the day “reached up” to the highest levels of art music culture, performing symphonic overtures and opera arias while also “reaching down,” appropriating and adapting the music of other cultures, internal and external to the United States. In this way, the Fair organizers established a Western-dominated social commentary on a grand scale.</p><p><br />KEYWORDS: World's Fair; sociocultural evolution; American<br />colonialism; the Philippine Reservation; musical appropriation</p>

Disrobing and Redressing Sex
Guevara, Geoffrey; Ateneo de Manila University
<p><span>This research is a precursor to further studies on socio-cultural issues such as reproductive health, homosexual marriages, infidelity and teen- age sexuality. With the goal of creating a framework for a resolution to these issues, the author focuses on sex as the central question. Prog- ress in debates on these issues and the general ethos depend on peo- ple’s attitude towards sex. In the Philippines, sex unfortunately remains in the cloister of morality and marital obligations, despite changes in time and social needs. Though the virtues of chastity and fidelity remain important, this author suggests a frame outside morality and Christian duty through which sex can be appreciated. The author uses the lenses of philosophy, particularly Max Scheler’s non-formal ethics of values, with supporting insights from the development psychologist, Evelyn Eaton Whitehead and her husband, James, a pastoral theologian, to reframe how sex is viewed. The author’s thesis is that sex is good and, when done properly, can be a vehicle for human persons to touch the fundamentals of their finitude and the glory of their existence. </span></p>

Baptism as Christian Initiation according to the Catechism for Filipino Catholics: Pedagogical Implications for Today
Asis, Michael Demetrius H.; Ateneo de Manila University
Apostolic tradition; ex opere operato; ex opere operantis; baptism; faith; immersion
<p>Given the prevailing outlook today that baptism automatically washes away sin if the rite is correctly administered, there are five topics that need to be highlighted and explained in any prebaptismal instruction or catechesis. These are: (1) Christ’s baptism as confirmation of his identity and call to inaugurate<br />the Kingdom of God; (2) Christ as the truly “baptized one,” who is “deeply immersed” in God, including an explanation of how this idea is actually replicated and lived out in the faith of the family who represents the child in infant baptisms; (3) the refocusing from water washing away original sin to the Holy Spirit freeing us from si n; (4) water’s l ife-sustaining and destructive<br />qualities which symbolize Christ’s passage from death to life, and our own participation in this paschal my stery; (5) baptism into Christ as baptism into his body, the Church, since the struggle with our individual sins and the sins of the world is always a collective task, in view and in fulfillment of Christ’s threefold mission as prophet, priest, and king, to further God’s reign in the world. These topics highlight the fact that baptism, like any other sacrament, works not only through the intrinsic power of the sacraments to communi cate grace, but more importantly, through the active and intentional engagement in faith and holiness of both recipients and ministers, an engagement which makes the sacraments not only canonically valid but existentially fruitful and effective.</p>

Discipleship; Women disciples; Mary Magdalene; the sinful woman; service
This paper makes a case for the Galilean women of Luke 8:1–3 as a<br />paradigm of Christian discipleship. The summary passage, 8:1–3, is<br />interpreted in relation to two accounts that frame it—the story of the<br />unnamed woman at the house of Simon the Pharisee (7:36–50) and<br />the Parable of the Sower (8:4–8)—and to the death and resurrection<br />narrative (22–24). From an analysis of these passages, the women will be shown as epitomizing the meaning of discipleship.

Rule of Law in the Philippines: The Reproductive Logic of Elite Democracy*
Gonzaga, Fernando P.
Confronted by mounting allegations of corruption, electoral fraud, andabuse of executive power, the government of Philippine President GloriaMacapagal-Arroyo (2001–2010) called on critics and demonstrators tocease their dissent and uphold the “rule of law.” Amid this unsettling voidin political authority, the Philippine Supreme Court used its judicial powerto promulgate rules that would enforce the “human rights” of citizens. Byanalyzing the speeches of President Arroyo and Supreme Court ChiefJustice Reynato S. Puno (2006–2010), the paper will examine how thisdynamic plays out on the terrain of signification, where large politicalbodies, which claim to speak for the multitude of Filipinos, struggle overthe parameters of sovereign power or the idea of what the government“should do” and “cannot do.”

A Balancing Act: Negotiating Relationships in Two Contemporary Young Adult Novels from the Philippines
Lee, Gabriela; University of the Philippines Diliman
Young adult literature; Philippines; Southeast Asia;adolescence; teen; relationships
<p>Although young adult literature has finally “achieved a sort of acceptance and respect for which it has been searching since the advent of the genre as a viable publishing category in the 1960s,” there is still an absence of critical and creative work on young adult literature in the Philippines. This paper attempts to address this absence by comparing two female protagonists and their relationships in two Filipino young adult novels, <em>Una and Miguel</em> by Lilledeshan Bose, and <em>’Sup?</em> by Maria L.M. Fres-Felix. By examining how these two characters navigate peer relationships, both romantic and platonic, one hopes to see how the contemporary Filipino teenager can be identified and represented in contemporary young adult literature from the Philippines, and Southeast Asia.</p>

Pagmumuni-muni sa mga Batayang Kataga nina Aristoteles at Roque J. Ferriols upang Humantong sa Analohikong

Ferriols; meron; univocum; equivocum; metaphor; analogia
<p>Roque Ferriols’s Pambungad sa Metapisika is the first book of metaphysics thoroughly written in Filipino. This paper studies the basic terms (batayang kataga) of Ferriols’s metaphysics. It suggests a meeting between Aristotle’s omonimo, sinonimo, and paronimo, on the one hand, and Ferriols’s use of scholastic terms univoco, equivoco, and analogum, on the other. It points out the limitations of univoco and equivoco and suggests a way of presenting the relationship between equivocum and metaphora. It concludes that the language of metaphysics is analogum. The last section reflects on silence as a component of metaphysical language.</p>

“Maranao-ness” Reconsidered:The Impact of Islam on Maranao Dance
Namiki, Kanami; National University of Singapore, Ramon Obusan Folkloric Group, Tokyo University of Foreign Studies
Dance; Identity; Authenticity; Philippine Folkdance; Maranao dance; Maranao identity; Islamization; Indigenous Arts
<p>This study examines the production and development of dances among the Maranao, a Muslim group in the Southern Philippines. It explores the changing dance traditions and expressions of ethnic identity of Maranao dancers in the face of Islamization. It also draws attention to the role of local elites as mediators of the cultural and artistic practices and meanings between the national-center and local communities. Finally, it demonstrates how Maranao dances are sites of constant negotiation, accommodation, and resistance as local and national cultural authorities and artists struggle to define and gain control of the definition of what it means to be authentic.</p>

Expanding the Role of Philippine Languages in the Legal System: The Dim Prospects
Martin, Isabel Pefianco
This article considers the prospect of expanding the role of the nationallanguage, as well as other Philippine languages, in the legal system.While Tagalog-based Filipino, which is the national language accordingto the 1987 Constitution, is used extensively alongside English in schools,the national language has made few inroads into the legal system.Very little legislation has been translated into Filipino. Filipino-Englishcode-switching has been observed in courtrooms, but English aloneis used for records. In recent years, however, there have been signs ofa more favorable attitude in the legal profession toward bilingualism.Since 2007, certain criminal courts in the Tagalog stronghold of Bulacanhave been conducting cases in the national language, with Englishbeing retained for civil cases. So far the experiment has had a mixedreception, with some courtroom participants arguing that Filipino bringsgreater transparency and others claiming that it reduces efficiency.By weighing the preferences of legal professionals against the needsof defendants, witnesses and litigators, I consider the possibility ofextending the Bulacan experiment to the rest of the Philippines. In thisarticle, I also explore the question of introducing regional languagesinto the legal domain.

The Limits of Americanization: The Early Years of Leon Ma. Guerrero
Fernandez, Erwin S.
Leon Ma. Guerrero; Americanization; Ateneo de Manila; Ermita
<div class="column"><p>The American Occupation, which coincided with the early years of Leon Ma. Guerrero, showed a generation slowly being snatched away from Hispanization by Americanizing forces. How did Ermita become the pivot in the Americanization of Manila? How did Ateneo de Manila contribute to the Americanization of Guerrero? This article will examine the child- hood and the Ateneo days of Guerrero. In this biographical narrative, I begin with his childhood years, recount his education at Ateneo with particular reference to his literary pursuits, and end at his graduation. The conclusion would point out the crucial factors in the evolution of Guerrero, Americanized yet also, because of exempting circumstances in his character and environment, resistant to complete Americanization.</p></div>

Vocation and Work in the Spirit: Understanding Charisms in Relation to Work

vocation; theology of work; charisms; Miroslav Volf; Ignatian discernment
<p>One of the unique aspects of Jesuit Ignatian education is the focus on vocation and discernment. Still, students’ misconceptions about vocation are not sufficiently addressed, especially the relation between work and vocation. This paper proposes<br />that Miraslov Volf’s pneumatological understanding of work provides insights that can help dispel misconceptions. Understanding one’s vocation as a charism can he lp students make more sense of work i n today’s context, as wel l help students<br />understand that work is not simply finding “the right job” that fits their passion and aspir ation but also c ooperating with and responding to grace in doing the good.</p>

A Filipino Painter in Paris: Juan Luna in the Field of Cultural Production
Matibag, Eugenio; Iowa State University
.
<p>Academicism in France was breaking down and Manet had already redefined the criteria of artistic excellence when the Filipino painter Juan Luna won honors in the salons of Madrid and Paris. Luna’s paintings reaffirmed the classical norms, and while he introduced innovations that revitalized the Academic style, he never fully committed to impressionism. Occupying therefore a fraught position between traditionalism and experimentalism in a conflictive field of forces that was the art world of late nineteenth-century France and Spain, Luna’s work manifested an accumulating tension that was to lead to personal tragedy toward the end of his life.</p><p>KEYWORDS: Juan Luna; the Paris Period; Pierre Bourdieu;<br />field of cultural production</p>

Restless Heart: Towards an Existential Ontology of Eros in Augustine
Centeno, Jeffrey; Saint Louis University, Baguio City
<p><span>St. Augustine’s famous prayer in the </span><span>Confessions, </span><span>“You have made us for yourself, and our heart is restless until it rests in you,” remains today an indispensable resource of philosophical reflection. We can draw from it, particularly its understanding of </span><span>eros, </span><span>in our quest for meaning in our in- creasingly changing world. In a rapidly transforming world, the fundamen- tal questions of being human, like cultural solidarity, human sexuality, and integral spirituality, can take on new meanings, thus requiring contempo- rary understanding. The existential longing for self-meaning lies at the core of philosophical reflection. Meaning is necessarily reflexive; it consti- tutes the sense of being oneself within the context of manifold relations. This paper concludes with the assertion that a renewed understanding of </span><span>eros </span><span>in our human situation can help enhance our understanding of human sexuality and its inextricable relation to integral spirituality. </span></p>

Training Actors in the Ateneo Theater Arts Program: Negotiating Western Practices within Cultural Parameters
Abad, Ricardo G.
Maramara, Melissa-Vera M.
accommodation; Stanislavsky; Meisner Technique; Viewpoints; acting methods; Filipino cultural traits
<p>Anglo-American or Western acting practices, largely influenced by the works of Russian theater theorist Konstantin Stanislavsky, lie at the core of acting courses in the Philippines and many countries of the world. In Western societies, these practices are taught in a cultural context where individualism, personal achievement, egalitarianism, and democratic principles are valued. These cultural orientations facilitate the expression of <br />an actor’s inner life. In contrast, the cultural orientations in the Philippine context are a deference to authority, a sense of shame, and an inclination to emotionalism. How, then, does the Ateneo Theater Arts Program, based in a Philippine university, impart Western practices? This paper proposes an <br />answer based on the writers’ personal experiences as theater practitioners and on interviews with students. It finds that through cultural negotiation enacted in acting exercises, an accommodation between Western acting methods and local <span style="font-size: 10px;">cultural imperatives can be reached, a situation that allows </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">Filipino actors to eventually discover their own unique ways of </span><span style="font-size: 10px;">showing inner lives onstage.</span></p>

Ordinariness in Disaster: Rereading Brion’s “Story” During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Uyheng, Joshua
care; COVID-19 pandemic; humanistic psychology; ordinariness; narrative
<span>In 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.</span>

Are We Free? Are We Persons? 5 Ways to Obtain Certain Knowledge About the Existence of Human Free Will*
Seifert, Josef M.
The paper argues first for the immense importance of the question whetherwe possess free will for philosophical anthropology, ethics, penal law, andreligion, showing that the personhood of man is incompatible with a negationof his free will. It proceeds by discussing briefly the essence and levels offree will, showing that free will is an irreducible archdatum (urphenomenon)that in spite of its indefinability allows for an analysis and unfolding of itsessential qualities. The paper then distinguishes the different dimensionsof human free will as cause of action and intentional response to goods andvalues, and discusses their relation to morality. It then shows that the centralphenomena of “cooperative freedom” and of the “gift of self” are the supremefulfillment of persons. Lastly, different arguments for the actual existenceof human freedom are explored: a) an argument from the immediateevidence of freedom in the cogito; b) from the evidence of “eternal truths”or “necessary and supremely intelligible essences” about free will; c) fromthe experience of moral calls and oughts; d) from the undeniability of freewill without contradiction; and e) from the experience of acts whose objects(persons and their acts) presuppose free will. Through these “five ways” theevidence that we do indeed possess free will can be attained.

Gonzalez v. Roman Catholic Archbishop of Manila and Its Contributions to American Civil Church Law
Johnson, Joseph B.; Ateneo de Manila University
canon law; church property; church-state relations; legal history; religious corporations
<p>The tension between the religion clauses of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, guaranteeing the nonestablishment of religion and prohibiting the restriction of its free exercise, is clearest when secular courts are cal led upon to adjudicate the internal disputes of religious organizations. Such a d ispute was at th e heart of the 1929 case o f Gonzalez v. Roman Catholic Archbishop of Manila, in which the plaintiff alleged his right to be appointed to an ecclesiastical benefice in accordance with the terms of the canon law in force at the time of its erection rather than the more stringent provisions of the 1917 Code of Canon Law then in force. A minor milestone in the development of principles for the resolution of church disputes by secular courts, Gonzalez’s greater significance lies in its status as a forerunner of the ministerial exception, the legal doctrine which immunize s “religious entities from discrimination suits brought by employees with ‘ministerial’ responsibilities such as teaching religious doctrine or leading worship."</p>

Biyaya ang Meron, Biyaya ng Meron: Ang Pag-iisip nina Ferriols, Marion, at San Agustin
Tolentino, Roy Allan B.; Ateneo de Manila University
philosophy of religion; Augustine; Ferriols; Marion; givenness
Inspired by both metaphysics and phenomenology, the work of Roque J. Ferriols, SJ, provides a fascinating insight into givenness, which resonates with the work of Jean-Luc Marion. This paper outlines the points of convergence between these two thinkers, especially as regards their readings of Augustine’s Confessiones (The Confessions of St. Augustine). For Marion and Ferriols, Augustine’s experience is the journey of a creature discovering both the givenness of creation and selfhood as a gift.

Ginggala: The Tai-Yai's Divine Gift Through Music and Dance
Muyco, Maria Christine; University of the Philippines
Pitupumnak, Khanitep; Chiang Mai University
Bird dance; Ginggala; gong and drum music; merit; Tai Yai
<p>In this article, the authors look at the present-day Tai Yai who live within the city of Chiang Mai but whose roots could be traced back to the Mae Hong Son Province. They practice a music and dance form called the ginggala inside the compound of the wat (temple), and in the streets during the end of the Buddhist lent. By looking at each element of the ginggala, from the people involved, the instruments used, the costumes, religious ceremonies and parades of present-day street performances, the article traces the ginggala back to a mythic creature, half-bird and half-human, who welcomed Buddha in the forest with a dance. The article discusses how Buddhist cultural practices with music-making and dancing are perceived as living gifts to Buddha. Through the ginggala, the displaced Tai Yai— priests, monks, nuns, musicians, dancers, teachers and laypersons—renew and ground their identities through fellowship with each other and with the audience who belong to the larger Chiang Mai society.</p>

Arabicization and Arabic Expanding Techniques Used in Science Lectures in Two Arab Universities
Al-Asal, Mahmoud Sabri
Smadi, Oqlah Mahmoud
The aim of this study is to observe directly the various Arabicizationand Arabic expanding techniques which faculty members of two Arabuniversities (Jordan University of Science and Technology [JUST] inJordan and the University of Damascus [UD] in Syria) employ in lectureswhen dealing with scientific terms. The researchers used an observationchecklist to collect the needed data from a chosen sample. The resultsdo not support the original hypothesis of the study since there weresignificant differences in how the JUST and the UD faculty membersemployed the above-mentioned techniques. It is evident from the resultsthat Arabicization techniques were more frequently used in JUST thanin the UD, and Arabic expanding techniques were employed morefrequently in the UD than in JUST. This means that the usage of theArabicized scientific terms in JUST is higher in frequency than in the UD,and the usage of the Arabic equivalents in the UD is higher in frequencythan in JUST. In the light of the findings of the study, it is recommendedthat Arabic can cope with the new influx of scientific terms and that thereare many inactive Arabic terms (or expressions) that can be revived andsubsequently employed as equivalents to scientific terms in English.Finally, the researchers recommend that there should be open channelsof communication among Arabic language academies to coordinatetheir efforts to unify and standardize the use of Arabic terminology inall fields.

<p>The paper articulates the relationship between philosophy, Erōs, and the Filipino Jesuit priest Roque J. Ferriols. As a way of life, philosophy is related to three Greek words (thaumazein, aesthesis, and logos) and is the desire for the hen panta (one-in-all). The paper then describes the life of the philosophōs by referring to the image of Erōs and the character of Socrates in Plato’s Symposium. It ends by identifying the philosophical project of Ferriols with the quest of the philosophōs. It argues for meron as the articulation/inarticulation of a universal truth, of what is really real, and as the proper concern of the philosopher.</p>

Plotting Ilustrado Fragments, Layers, and Blank Spaces in Miguel Syjuco’s Postmodern Narrative and Metadiscourse in the Search for the Great Filipino Novel

Ilustrado; Miguel Syjuco; postmodern narrative; Filipino novel; fragmented narrative; pansexual genre; chaotics
<p>Miguel Syjuco’s Ilustrado begins with the illusion of convention that lulls readers into complacency. As readers follow the story and find their feet, however, the path begins to crack. What begins as a novel about a search for The Great Filipino Novel turns into a postmodern narrative and metadiscourse on the vanity of such a search—punctuated and conditioned by fragments, layers, and blank spaces.</p>

Local Discourse, Identity and the Search for a Filipino Philosophy: A Re-exploration through the Lens of Reynaldo Ileto
Abellanosa, Rhoderick John; University of San Carlos, Cebu City
<p><span>Working within the framework of Reynaldo Ileto’s postcolonial discourse, this paper re-explores the Filipino philosophy question and its contem- porary relevance. Re-exploration in this context means re-reading and arguing for sustained discussions on Filipino philosophy. Divided into three parts, the paper presents the history and development of the Filipino philosophy debate and proceeds to an analysis and reflection on Ileto’s writing from </span><span>Pasyon and Revolution </span><span>to his more recent work. The third and final part proposes a rethinking of what has been identi- fied as Filipino philosophy in the light of Ileto’s ideas. At the core of this endeavor is the contention that a culture-grounded philosophy is indispensable in nationhood and state-formation. Thus, whether it shall be called “philosophies in the Philippines” or “Filipino philosophy,” or whatever possible nomenclature for such an endeavor, the most es- sential thing is that Filipinos consciously identify and shape their own discourse as a people. Finally, this paper argues for the relevance of continually discussing the question concerning Filipino philosophy. </span></p>

Fernando Zobel and the Making of the Ateneo Art Gallery: Modern Art, Postcolonial Statehood, and the Utopian Imagination in Twentieth-Century Philippines
Veric, Charlie Samuya; Ateneo de Manila University
Fernando Zobel; Ateneo Art Gallery; Filipino modern art and criticism; Filipino art history; Philippine postcolonial statehood; decolonization; utopia
Fernando Zobel de Ayala y Montojo is a towering figure in modern Filipino art and criticism. An award-winning artist and an astute theorist, he founded the Ateneo Art Gallery in 1960. Six years later, he established the Museum of Spanish Abstract Art in Cuenca, Spain. Art histories in the Philippines and Spain are certainly unimaginable without Zobel, yet very little has been written about him. With the exception of a handful of articles, not much art historical discussion of Zobel exists, especially in the context of the rise of Filipino modern art and the development of Philippine postcolonial state as utopian phenomena. The essay fills this gap. In particular, I will argue that an understanding of Zobel and his influence must consider the mutual emergence of modern art and postcolonial statehood, events that cannot be dissociated from utopian sentiments defining the historical project of decolonization in the middle of the twentieth century. Moreover, I will argue that Zobel may be considered as a decolonizing voice, a touchstone in postcolonial Filipino art criticism. This essay not only fills a significant gap in the scholarship on Zobel but also hopes to reframe our understanding of modern art in the Philippines.

Nuancing Interdisciplinarity: Between and Beyond Liberal Arts and Professional Education
Trinidad, Jose Eos; Ateneo de Manila University
interdisciplinary studies; liberal arts; professional education; university; higher education
<span>In an environment of ever-increasing cost of higher education and a precarious economic market, students and families labor over the right “major.” Although many opt for technical and professional training, not a few still advocate for a liberal arts education. In this essay, I argue that interdisciplinarity—or the integration of two or more disciplines—can be present in both liberal arts and professional education although they have differing aims, bases, and means, depending on the general field. Interdisciplinarity in the liberal arts highlights humanistic questions, broad thinking, and understanding the whole. In technical professional education, it emphasizes practical problems, deep thinking, and understanding complexities. Highlighting these differences, however, is done not to separate them but to bridge them and lead to greater appreciation of the unique contribution of an interdisciplinary perspective on both fields of learning. Examples from a Philippine university are used to ground these ideas of distinguishing and connecting interdisciplinarity in liberal arts and professional education.</span>

Izbicki, Thomas M.
In 1459, while Pope Pius II was out of Rome, Nicholas of Cusa servedas governor of the city and attempted reform of the clergy of the city. Thesermons for his reform synod and visitations emphasize Christiformitas,conformity to Christ. No individual could attain Christ’s perfection. However,the Christian could conform more closely to Christ, attaining greaterperfection. The concept of Christiformitas thus brought Nicholas’ ideas onthe limits of human knowledge and reform together in preaching to theclergy of Rome. The subtleties of Cusanus’ thought were thus adjusted tothe needs of pastoral care and Christian life.

Marriage and Conjugal Sex: Paul’s “Marriage Debt” and Kant’s “Conjugal Rights”
Calano, Mark Joseph T.; Ateneo de Manila University
marriage; marriage debt; conjugal rights; marital sex; dignity of persons
<p>The Code of Canon Law states that sex is a requisite for the consummation of a marriage but that the conjugal act must be performed in a “human way.” Divided into three parts, this paper investigates the place of hum an sex in a consummated marriage by looking into the Pauline understanding of the “marriage debt” found in 1 Corinthians 7 and the Kantian notion of “conjugal rights.” The first part is an exegesis of Paul’s texts suggesting that a couple are obligated by a certain debt to provide for the sexual gratification of their partners. The second part discusses implications of t he Kantian principle of humanity in marriage and sexual activity. For Kant, marriage is a contract that includes the exchange of rights of access to the body. By explicating Paul’s and Kant’s understanding of the relationship between marriage and sex, the paper provides a better understanding of the place and r ole of human se x in a consummated marriage.</p>

Panahon ng Transisyon: Ang Soap Opera sa Telebisyon 1963-1986
Sánchez, Louie Jon A.; Ateneo de Manila University
soap opera; radyo; telebisyon; Ferdinand Marcos; teleserye; Martial Law; oligarkiya; kasaysayan ng brodkasting
<p>Isinasalaysay ng sanaysay na ito ang kasaysayan ng soap operang telebiswal sa pagitan ng 1963 at 1986, isang yugtong tinatawag ng awtor na “Panahon ng Transisyon.” Dito binakas ang transisyon ng soap opera mula sa radyo patungo sa bagong midyum ng telebisyon noong dekada 60, hanggang 1986, ang taon ng tuluyang pagbagsak ng diktadurang Marcos. Ngunit bago nito, isinalaysay din ang pagsilang ng industriya ng telebisyon sa gitna ng mga nagkukrus na interes ng mga namuhunan ditong pamilyang oligarko sa negosyo at politika. Makikitang produkto ng masigalot na kasaysayan ng Filipinas, at ng kasaysayan ng telebisyon, ang soap opera, sa pagpapatuloy nito, kahit ba ginambala’t binansot ang midyum kalaunan ng diktadura. Pitong soap opera ang itinampok dito na pawang kumatawan sa proseso ng transisyong nabanggit.</p><p> </p><p>Period of Transition: Soap Opera on Television, 1963-1986 Abstract: This narrates the history of the televisual soap opera between 1963 and 1986, described by the author as the “Period of Transition.” This traces the transition of the soap opera from radio to the new medium of television during the 60s to 1986, the year of the ouster of the Marcos dictatorship. Foregrounding this is a recounting of the birth of the television industry amidst the intersecting interests of the oligarchic families in politics and business as they invested in it. It will be surmised that the soap opera was a product of the tumultuous history of the Philippines, and the history of television, as it had continued to exist despite the disruption and the consequent hampered growth of the medium during the dictatorship. Seven soap operas are showcased here, representing the aforementioned transition process. </p>

“What We Have to Be Is What We Are”: Re-Discovering an Ontology of Unity in The Asian Journal of Thomas Merton
Torevell, David
I argue in this article that due to its unique composition and structure,The Asian Journal of Thomas Merton offers readers an opportunityto take part in the monastic tradition of lectio divina. Such meditativereading of the text, besides giving a glimpse into Merton’s insights aboutinterfaith living and how monastic identity encourages such a pursuit,also offers the reader an opportunity to reflect on the ontology of unityat the heart of his contemplative theology. I thus wish to suggest thatthe “ground of openness” that Merton names and exhorts in his workis not simply confined to monastics. My claim is that anyone who hasthe confidence to read his journal as lectio divina might also come toexperience a leaning towards such unity and openness.

Tao/Lipunan, Moral/Imoral: 27 Macario Pineda at Reinhold Niebuhr
Francisco, S.J., Jose Mario C.; Loyola School of Theology
Macario Pineda; Reinhold Niebuhr; Philippine social problem; moral freedom; social change
<div class="page" title="Page 33"><div class="section"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span>Macario Pineda’s novels, particularly his 1947 masterpiece </span><span>Ang Ginto sa Makiling</span><span>, engage fundamental questions about the moral nature of the human person and the possibility of societal transformation. Though dissimilar in personal background and social milieu from Pineda, Reinhold </span><span>N</span><span>iebuhr, social ethicist in twentieth-century American society, raises these same questions in his 1932 classic </span><span>Moral Man and Immoral Society</span><span>. Moreover, they similarly base their responses in Christian Faith. Pineda is uncompromising in his belief in the moral capacity of the person, especially when nurtured through education, to do good and thus to establish “Makiling,” his symbol of the transformed society, in our midst. Though convinced too of the individual moral goodness, Niebuhr is deeply aware of the powerful and corrupt forces at play in modern society, and therefore foresees an unrelenting struggle between individual goodness and society. Both Pineda and Niebuhr’s responses offer food for thought at a time when these same questions plague contemporary Philippine society.</span></p></div></div></div></div>

Konsepto at Pag-asa ayon kay Ferriols
Cleofas, Jacklyn A.; Ateneo de Manila University
Ferriols; hope; Marcel; Wittgenstein; concept; family resemblance
In this paper I discuss Roque J. Ferriols’s understanding of and objection to using concepts for philosophical reflection. I show that Ferriols’s objection to conceptual thinking can be diffused by a turn to Wittgenstein’s notion of family resemblance. To illustrate the case, the focus is turned on hope, which Ferriols discusses in connection with his translation of Gabriel Marcel’s “Sketch of a Phenomenology and Metaphysics of Hope” from French to Filipino. After giving an exposition of Ferriols’s understanding of concepts and the basis of his objection to conceptual analysis and elaboration on conceptual schemes, I argue that a concept of hope is necessary for understanding and living out the mysterious and fleeting experience that Marcel describes in his essay. Finally, I suggest that adopting a Wittgensteinian understanding of concepts in a philosophical reflection on hope requires it to be informed by psychological, ethnographic, and other related empirical findings about the phenomenon.

Snapshots of a Literary Friendship: Francisco Arcellana and Jose Garcia Villa*
Chua, Jonathan
Arcellana; Villa; literary friendships; Philippine literary history
<p>Accounts of literary friendships provide one with material for literary scholarship. This paper presents “snapshots” of the friendship of Francisco Arcellana (1917–2002) and Jose Garcia Villa (1908– 97). Arcellana and Villa’s friendship bears indelible traces of Philippine literary history at large; to look at the microcosm that is their friendship is also to get a glimpse of a macrocosm of relations, forces, and movements that have constituted Philippine literature. </p><p>*An earlier version of this paper was read at a panel organized by the Department of English Studies and Comparative Literature, College of Arts and Letters, University of the Philippines, on 9 September 2016, on the centenary of Francisco Arcellana. The author thanks Paolo Manalo and Isabel Banzon for the invitation to speak at the panel. </p>

Performing Hypermasculinity in Billboard Ads and Malls
Devilles, Gary; Ateneo de Manila University
<p><span>Images of masculinities are used in ad placements in TV, movies, and billboards. Aside from the consumerist nature of such images, I wonder if these constitute city dynamics, such that life in the city can be construed as fantastical or spectacular, and whether such fantasy is masculine in orientation. This work investigates masculinity not just as a product of city living, but also as a phenomenon in which the city seemingly assumes a muscular stance, manifesting in its ensuing power relations. I focus on underwear billboards and malls in Manila as texts by which hypermasculinity, this male fantasy, is produced, performed, becomes visible. I also discuss Susan Bordo’s assertion that the study of masculinity is in no way isolated from feminism. Through her account of her father’s life, and analyses of advertisements and TV shows, she argues that male experiences of shame, exhaustion with cultural expectations, or the failure of the male body to live up to those expectations, resonate with the feminists’ struggle for emancipation. In this light I approach masculinity and city studies as mutually inclusive fields, underlying a male fantasy, a hypermasculinity, which is all too visible, dominating and shaping our lives. Hypermasculinity feeds on the culture of consumption, the fetishism of masculine virility and objectification of women, on the panoply of images evoking beauty and nostalgia. I argue that the city—specifically Manila—being hypermasculine, hides its ugliness and shame, and its development is posturing, aggressive behaviour, compensating for irreconcilable contradictions and alienated relationships. </span></p>

Utopia atbp: Versions of the Ideal in Philippine Fiction
Groyon, Vicente Garcia; De La Salle University–Manila
Philippine fiction in English; Utopia; realism; romance; Philippine fiction; Philippine genre fiction
In Utopia, Thomas More delivers a specific and context-bound critique of Tudor England through a faux anthropological report on a perfect society, “perfect” being defined as everything that Tudor England was not. Philippine fiction can similarly be read as visions of what the nation could and should be, delivered in oblique flashes that project a fragmentary composite picture of everything that the Philippines is not, or no longer is. The supposedly opposed vectors of romance and realism coincide in their explicit and implicit yearnings for contentment and happiness, echoing More’s own bemused, amused impatience with his flawed country. Through a telescoped survey of Philippine fiction in English, this article traces the contours of the Philippine utopian ideal.

Philippine Modernities and their Contradictions: Cultural Responses, Contentions, Imaginaries
van der Wall, Hidde; Ateneo de Manila University
Modernities; Modernism; Philippine culture; Colonial culture; Nationalism; Postcolonialism; UP College of Music
<span>Impressive in its scope, Philippine Modernities: Music, Performing Arts, and Language 1880-1941, edited by University of the Philippines musicologist José S. Buenconsejo, reminds of the various, multiple, and complex ways that Philippine culture and arts were entangled in processes of modernity. A good number of the essays collected in the volume offer insights into the complexities, conflicts, and ambiguities that ensued as colonial Philippine culture and society underwent developments related to modernity. But the volume does not entirely fulfill this potential as many of the essays resort to dichotomous views of local and foreign, homogenizing notions of nation, and a one-way concept of the relationship between economic and cultural developments. Modernism, as a set of styles that express and constitute modern mentalities, receives little attention, as do analyses from alternative perspectives like class, gender, and ethnicity. Nevertheless, the book is an important contribution to the growing body of research on Philippine (post)colonial culture.</span>

The Evental Subject: The Concept of the Human Person in Alain Badiou’s Event Metaphysics
Masong, Kenneth C.
An individual is not a subject. What constitutes the subject as subject is thehappening of event and the way this happening transforms the insularityof the individual into the “eventality” of the subject. For Alain Badiou (b.1937), a true subject is one that is subjectivized by the happening of theevent and the subject’s continuous fidelity to this same event. This essayexplores the concept of the human person in Alain Badiou’s philosophy.In order to achieve this, a broad overview of Badiou’s Ontology of theEvent is necessary in order to locate his philosophical anthropology. Whatfollows is a discussion of Badiou’s dynamic conception of an individualas a becoming-subject in relation to an event, a relation characterized byfidelity to the event. This unique philosophy of the human person finds itssingular exemplar in the New Testament figure of St. Paul of Tarsus. Theconclusion of the essay brings Badiou’s philosophy of the event, subjectand truth into the domain of religious discourse where, interestingly, hisphilosophy finds a genial fertile ground for further exploration.

Suspicious of the Filipino Social Virtue of Fortitude
Nalupta, Monica Jalandoni; Ateneo de Manila University
Filipino fortitude; resilience; passivity; injustice
<p>This article argues that virtue takes on a particular color or texture in specific social contexts. In the case of the Filipino context, the virtue of fortitud e is Thomistic. Second, it will argue that it is necessary to engage in a social-ethical critique of social virtue, arguing that since the Philippine concept of fortitude lacks a crucial link with justice it can be considered deficient. The article is concerned with critiquing the form that virtue has assumed in the Philippines, as well as the abuse of ethical language in discussions of virtue. In Philippine society, the language<br />of virtue is used to promote resilience, but also passive suffering, and this paves the way for injustice to flourish.</p>

Chinese-English Literary Translation as an Economic Network: A Freelance Translator’s Experience-Based Perspective
Stenberg, Josh; University of British Columbia
Chinese-English translation; literary translation; freelance work; Chinese fiction; Chinese literature in translation
This article examines Chinese-English literary translation as a field of professional endeavor within the last decade, drawing on the author’s first-hand knowledge as a freelance translator and on secondary sources surrounding the processes of translation and publication. Positing Chinese-English literary translation as the product of a global socioeconomic network, the essay examines, in succession, the questions “Who translates?” “Who funds?” “Who publishes” and “Who and what is being translated?” The findings are that the field is presently experiencing growth, accompanied by a shift from the West towards Asia in terms of funding, publication and geographic location of translators.

Transforming Tradition in the Dance Drama Realizing Rama, 1997-2004: Documenting the Process of “Inter-Creation” in an ASEAN Production
Tiongson, Nicanor G
<p>This article seeks to illumine two aspects of the pioneering production <em>Realizing Rama</em> (1997-2004), a collaboration among artists from the ASEAN. First, it will describe and critique the process of inter-creation among traditional and modern artists that gave birth to a production style that was palpably Southeast Asian in tonality, movement, and visuality without being stereotyped as “ethnic.” Second, it will explicate and evaluate the participation of ASEAN artists in the production and the changes they underwent in the process of creating and performing the work. This study will show that the creation of Realizing Rama paralleled the initial realisation of an ASEAN performing arts aesthetics and the creation of a paradigm for the process of artistic creation in an ASEAN artistic community.</p>

Selfhood and Destiny: On Heidegger’s Call for Poetic Self-Renewal in the Contemporary Age of Devastation
Pasco, Marc Oliver D.
This essay aims to map out the path of devastation that has left ushomeless and, as the thinker Martin Heidegger says, frantically andthoughtlessly seeking for our identity. The first part of the paper will bean exposition on Heidegger’s ideas concerning the history of oblivionand how this may aid us to see where we have to be at present. Thesecond part will use for its point of departure Heidegger’s insights onforgetfulness to explain how he perceives the possibility of salvation fromsuch a threat by expounding on his ideas concerning the “fourfold” andits relationship with selfhood. The last part of the paper will then discusshis idea of poetic dwelling and how this is in fact the path towards anauthentic re-building of the self in the midst of Being’s withdrawal anddevastation. Given Heidegger’s contention that the destiny of the selfis tied up with the destining of Being, this paper will show that it isonly by thoroughly examining the destining of absence, oblivion andwithdrawal issued by history itself that we may build ourselves oncemore. This time, we shall do so in a more essential way, more heedful ofthe directives inscribed in our very beings as the ones tasked to recoverourselves from the mire of forgetfulness, and as mortal dwellers on theearth, under the sky, awaiting the divinities.

<div class="page" title="Page 51"><div class="section"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span>Traditional views on eschatology produce a picture of the “end times” at the risk of divorcing it from the fullness of human existence. In this essay, I wish to propose a reconsideration of an eschatological vision rooted in this particular fullness of being human by looking at Macario Pineda’s works, specifically </span><span>Ang Ginto sa Makiling</span><span>, “Bawat Looy na Bulaklak,” and “Ang Langit ni Ka Martin.” By looking at the different ways in which the characters develop in these works, we can trace out a triadic eschatology present in Pineda’s fiction: a pre-eschatology rooted in the experience of time in Doro of </span><span>Makiling</span><span>; an inaugurated eschatology of the encounter between God and His creation in Tata Teban of “Bulaklak”; and finally, an accomplished eschatology of choice in Ka Martin of “Langit.” These modalities of eschatologies in Pineda’s work show us at once a broad spectrum of responses in relation to this end, and more importantly emphasize how these modalities of responses to the </span><span>eschaton </span><span>open up a space where the question of the end finds its locus in the fullness of human existence.</span></p></div></div></div></div>

The paper is an exposition of Roque J. Ferriols’s ideas on the proper method and the elements necessary to the act of teaching. For Ferriols, a teacher is someone who creates an atmosphere in which students discover for themselves the truth about reality. A teacher must have a great appreciation of the power of words and concepts in conveying what is real and must be able to help students to value the same. At the same time, the teacher must remind students that words and concepts are significant only as instruments with which students see reality itself.

Ang Poetikong Filipino: Isang Penomenolohikong Paggalugad sa Pagpapakahulugan ng Pitong Pangunahing Kritiko*
Sanchez, Louie Jon A.
<span>The Philippine Poetic: A Phenomenological Explication of its Definitions by Seven </span><br /><span>Filipino Critics</span><br /><br /><span>As a means to harness what Jonathan Culler calls, "literary competence," each teacher of </span><span>literature is expected to be armed with the capacity to form an efficient framework in </span><span>reading, one that guides students in their own textual experience. Each teacher too </span><span>manages to have his/her own practice of reading depending on individual politics, or </span><span>institutional positions. In this paper, the author seeks to create a phenomenological </span><span>reading to the act of reading poetry. The author examines selected Filipino texts that </span><span>explain the practice of reading poetry (as explicated by seven major writer-critics from </span><span>the Philippines: Gemino Abad, Virgilio S. Almario, Cirilo F. Bautista, Isagani R. Cruz, </span><span>E. San Juan Jr., Edith L. Tiempo, and Bienvenido Lumbera). This project envisions to </span><span>create a cartography of the "landscape" of reading in the Filipino context. This work </span><span>is a new contribution to Filipino literature, as it aspires to understand the </span><span>trajectories, possibilities, and future of harnessing literary competence. In the end, </span><span>this paper endeavors to attempt a more "located" reading practice of poetry (a practice </span><span>based on contexts, time, and history). </span><br />

Filipino-ness and the Heterosexual Matrix in the Work of Gregorio Brillantes
Ade, Wernmei Yong; Nanyang Technological University
<p><span>This paper is an attempt to substantiate J. Neil M. Garcia’s endorsement of Butlerian performativity in assessing what constitutes Filipino-ness, and how that Filipino-ness is constituted in post-Independence Filipino literature, focusing on two short stories by Gregorio Brillantes. Caroline Hau argues that literature is one of the structures of intelligibility through which we imagine ourselves as a nation, and ourselves as belonging to a particular nation. The Rizal Bill, passed in 1956, attested to “the exis- tence of a disciplinary space, an ensemble of discourses and practices constituting the field of literary education over which the Philippine state sought continually to extend the scope of its nation-building projects” (Hau 1). Literature was enlisted as a means to regulate the performance of Filipino-ness; literature, as Hau’s performative lexicon suggests, also performed Filipino-ness. If literature as a disciplinary practice indeed has the ability to intervene in national history, then it becomes necessary to ask, “How does literature ‘represent’ (in both artistic and political senses of the word) the ‘true’ Filipino national community? How does literature address, and resolve, the problem posed by the foreign, especially colo- nial ‘influences’ on Philippine national culture? How does literature imag- ine the ‘foreigner’ within the Filipino nation? How does literature forge the link between the personal and the political?” (Hau 9). Given its central place as a disciplinary practice in nation-imagining, what literature does has definite bearing on what Filipino-ness is. This paper answers the questions Hau raises in the context of Brillantes’ short stories. </span></p>
