  • The Philippine Left in a Changing Land
    The Philippine Left in a Changing Land On October 21 nine members of the Philippine National Federation of Sugar Workers were shot dead while participating in a protest. The killers are assumed to be employed by local capitalists. Killings of union, peasant, and other activists have increased sharply under President Duterte. Dozens of activists have already been killed. Under Duterte’s authoritarian rule, the Philippine left is faced with new difficulties. Three weeks before the killings of the trade unionists, the Philippine Daily Enquirer published the headline “Duterte fires last leftist in government.” The leftist in question is Joel Maglunsod, undersecretary of the Department of Labor and Employment, formerly a leader of the Kilusan Mayo Uno trade- union movement.1 Meanwhile, attacks by the armed wing of the Maoist Communist Party of the Philippines, the New People’s Army (NPA), increased after a ceasefire broke down in early 2017. Lasting roughly half a year, it was the longest ceasefire ever between the NPA and a Philippine government. But even when it still had allies in the government, the CPP had begun to denounce the Duterte regime as fascist and a pawn of the United States. How to explain such contradictions? Much international news about Duterte is concerned with the “war on drugs” he unleashed. Since Duterte assumed office in July 2016, conservative estimates indicate that the police or state- sponsored death squads have killed more than 12,000, almost exclusively from the most impoverished sections of Philippine society. The real number of casualties is likely much higher. During his presidential campaign, Duterte made clear that he was planning to organize large-scale violence.

    RE-IMAGINING THE SOCIOLOGICAL IMAGINATION1 From “The Promise” to Aesthetic of Existence Gerardo Lanuza What is the meaning of C. W. Mills’ “sociological imagination” after 50 years? This article grapples with this question by juxtaposing Mills’ notion of “promise” with Foucault’s poststructuralist notion of “exit” or “way out” in relation to modernity and sociological imagination. This paper explores the similarities and the radical differences between Mills’ conception of sociological imagination and Foucault’s “aesthetic of existence” as a postmodern version of the sociological imagination. Their main divergence in interpreting the sociological imagination stems from Mills’ use of Marx’s modernist legacy and Foucault’s deployment of Nietzsche’s more aestheticized rendering of modernity. Keywords: sociological imagination, Mills, Foucault, Enlightenment, Modernity INTRODUCTION “The Promise,” Chapter 1 of Charles Wright Mills’ The Sociological Imagination (1959), has always been a required reading for students who take introductory sociology courses. The “sociological imagination,” of which Mills so passionately wrote about, is very much a product of mid-twentieth century modernity. He was writing after the horrors of the two world wars and the ascendancy of “mass society.” Today many of the problems that Mills diagnosed are very much still with us. However our “socioscape” has dramatically changed. Many social scientists claim we are now living in the threshold of late modernity (Giddens 1990; Jameson 1984; Harvey 1989). So, I wonder what the sociological imagination, advocated by Mills, might Philippine Sociological Review (2011), Vol. 59, pp. 1-21 1 mean in the late modern world, a world where “grand narratives” are already discredited, and globalization has shrunk the world into a “small global village” (Lyotard 1984; Robertson 1990).

PDEA Director General Undersecretary Arturo G. Cacdac, Jr. said this after DOJ issued a press statement that DOJ will not interfere with the issue of who should have custody or jurisdiction but instead would abide by their mandate of determining probable cause to charge Marcelino and Chinese national Yan Yi Shuo, who were arrested for their presence in a suspected clandestine shabu laboratory in Celadon Residences, Sta. Cruz, Manila last January 21, 2016. Marcelino, who is presently detained at the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) Camp Bagong Diwa, Taguig, had earlier requested to be transferred to the custody of the Philippine Navy, citing safety and security reasons. In response to the request, the investigating prosecutor, in a letter to BJMP dated January 29, 2016, proposed for the transfer of the respondents to the NBI, or to the Philippine Navy Headquarters.
