  • From Colonial Policy to National Treasure: Tracing the Making of Audiovisual Heritage in the Philippines Bernadette Rose Alba Patino
    From Colonial Policy to National Treasure: Tracing the Making of Audiovisual Heritage in the Philippines Bernadette Rose Alba Patino This study traces the history and construction of institutionalized cultural and audiovisual heritage in the Philippines and investigates how evolving views of heritage have shaped the country’s audiovisual archiving and preservation movement in the last fifty years. It examines the impact of naturalized definitions of heritage, as globalized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), and the implementation of audiovisual archival institution building, cultural policies, and archival priorities in the Philippines under the heritage banner set out by the organization. Considering the formation of what heritage scholars call “authorized heritage discourse” (AHD), this paper argues that a heritage hierarchy emerged in the country’s contemporary audiovisual archiving landscape, privileging an industrial view of cinema while marginalizing other forms of moving image practice. The study calls for an awareness of and resistance to institutionalized archives’ claims to social, cultural, and political power in their heritage construction and discourse. Keywords: audiovisual heritage, audiovisual archiving, authorized heritage discourse, Philippine cinema, UNESCO cultural policies Throughout the long history of the audiovisual archiving and preservation movement in the Philippines, a myriad of institutions, organizations, and individuals has wielded the concept of heritage to

  • Fall of Grace: Nora Aunor As Cinema 46
    Flores / Fall of Grace: Nora Aunor as Cinema 46 FALL OF GRACE: NORA AUNOR AS CINEMA Patrick D. Flores University of the Philippines [email protected] Abstract Nora Aunor is enlisted in this speculation as a medium in the register of both the cinema and the transmission of spirit. The key trajectory is the oft-cited film Himala, which opens up a conceptual space for mediumship, the technology of the actress, her biography and corpus of art, and the devotion to her person. The essay constellates a set of texts including the sculpture in honor of Elsa, the main character of Himala, the film Silip, and the life of a fan. Nora, the performative vessel of Elsa, becomes fundamentally cinematic. It is through her that Elsa is fleshed out as a miracle worker of vexing potency. Nora is herself a testament to the transformative potential of the technology of the cinema. Keywords devotion, film, image, medium, spirit, voice About the Author Patrick D. Flores is Professor of Art Studies at the Department of Art Studies at the University of the Philippines, which he chaired from 1997 to 2003, and Curator of the Vargas Museum in Manila. He is Adjunct Curator at the National Art Gallery, Singapore. He was one of the curators of Under Construction: New Dimensions in Asian Art in 2000 and the Gwangju Biennale (Position Papers) in 2008. He was a Visiting Fellow at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. in 1999 and an Asian Public Intellectuals Fellow in 2004. Among his publications are Painting History: Revisions in Philippine Colonial Art (1999); Remarkable Collection: Art, History, and the National Museum (2006); and Past Peripheral: Curation in Southeast Asia (2008).

  • Manila by Night As Thirdspace
    Forum Kritika: A Closer Look at Manila by Night MANILA BY NIGHT AS THIRDSPACE Patrick F. Campos University of the Philippines Film Institute [email protected] Abstract The Marcosian signifier in Manila by Night has been inescapably registered in the production, distribution, and exhibition of the film and in the film text itself. The paper revisits these evaluations of the film by using Edward Soja’s broader notion of “thirdspace.” It rereads Manila by Night as Bernal’s concept of the city which approximates the lived dimension of urban spaces vis-à-vis the “concept city” of the Marcoses. Such a revaluation of Manila by Night as thirdspace 1) locates the film at the center of wider spatio-temporal interrelationship — from “global” to “national” to “cinematic” space, and 2) salvages the epistemological concerns of Bernal, which previous critiques of Manila by Night tended to eclipse. Keywords city film, cognitive map, lived city, national cinema About the Author Patrick F. Campos is a film/literary scholar and a faculty member of the University of the Philippines Film Institute. He holds an MA in Comparative Literature at the University of the Philippines and is Director of the Office of Extension and External Relations (formerly the College Secretary) of the College of Mass Communication. He is also an independent filmmaker and a musician. Author’s Note I am grateful to architects Paulo Alcazaren and Rene Luis Mata for their insights on the architecture and spaces of middle-class subdivisions discussed in the first part of the paper. ISHMAEL BERNAL’s MANILA BY NIGHT has been critically valued in geopolitical terms and rightly so.

  • Everyday Life in a Philippine Sex Tourism Town
    Everyday Life in a Philippine Sex Tourism Town ACTA UNIVERSITATIS UPSALIENSIS Uppsala Studies in Cultural Anthropology no 57 Mari-Elina Ekoluoma Everyday Life in a Philippine Sex Tourism Town Dissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in Geijersalen, Thunbergsvägen 3H, 751 20, Uppsala, Friday, 3 March 2017 at 10:15 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The examination will be conducted in English. Faculty examiner: Professor Helle Rydström (Lunds universitet, genusvetenskapliga institutionen). Abstract Ekoluoma, M.-E. 2017. Everyday Life in a Philippine Sex Tourism Town. Uppsala Studies in Cultural Anthropology 57. 274 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-554-9793-4. Sabang used to be a small, marginalized Philippine fishing village that in the span of three decades became a well-known international sex tourism site. This thesis deals with the implications of tourism (including sex tourism) and how it has become embedded in the daily life in today’s Sabang. The thesis highlights the local populations’ diverse reactions to the various changes associated with tourism growth, in particular how various symbolic, moral, and spatial boundaries are constructed and maintained. The ethnographic material examined in this thesis builds on several periods of fieldwork, in total 18 months, that were carried out between 2003 and 2015. Analytical tools found in tourism anthropology and in particular the branch of postcolonial tourism studies has guided the discussion and analysis of the socio-cultural effects of becoming a tourism town. This thesis argues that complex networks of boundaries are significant in maintaining a sense of order and social cohesion in times of change.

  • Fragility, Perseverance, and Survival in State-Run Philippine Archives Bliss Cua Lim
    Fragility, Perseverance, and Survival in State-Run Philippine Archives Bliss Cua Lim This article considers the consequences of the 2004 dissolution of the Philippine Information Agency’s Motion Picture Division (PIA-MPD) on three key collections entrusted to it: films from the National Media Production Center; from the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (themselves remnants of the previous archival collapse of the Film Archives of the Philippines in 1986); and lastly, a number of films produced by LVN Pictures, a studio founded in 1938. Using approaches from cultural policy, archival theory, feminist epistemology, and postcolonial historiography, the essay draws on an array of sources—archival films, legislative records, PIA documents, oral history interviews, and personal papers from members of the Society of Filipino Archivists for Film and the South East Asia Pacific Audio Visual Archives Association. The aftermath of the PIA-MPD’s abolition underscores the drawbacks of a narrowly profit-driven perspective on state film archiving that devalued analog cinema in relation to digital media while also ignoring the unique demands of audiovisual (AV) archiving by conflating it with paper-based librarianship. This study affirms the Filipino AV archive advocacy’s repeated calls for legislation to safeguard the institutional continuity and autonomy of Philippine film archives from the vagaries of political whim. Reflecting on the archivist-activists who endured the decline of various state-run film collections, the article concludes by conceptualizing archival survival as not only involving the material preservation of analog or digital AV carriers but as also entailing exhaustion and persistence on the part of archivists who persevere in institutional conditions they work to change.
