Arong A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree oF Doctor of Philosophy School of Arts and Media Faculty of Arts and Sciences May 2017 2 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Arong First name: Marie Rose Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: Arts and Media Faculty: Arts and Social Sciences Title: Situating the Philippines in the postcolonial landscape: narrative strategies of Filipino novels in English (1946-1980) The Philippines’ double-colonization at the hands of Spain (1565-1898) then America (1898-1946) has produced a distinctive type of postcolonial writing in English. Despite this unique postcolonial situation, there is a lack of substantial and sustained critical work assessing Philippine literature in postcolonial studies. In order to address this neglect, this thesis shows how a culturally specific formalist approach provides new opportunities to interrogate the distinctive postcolonial themes and issues raised in six Filipino novels: Bienvenido Santos' You Lovely People (1955), N.V.M. Gonzalez's The Bamboo Dancers (1960), N.V.M. Gonzalez's A Season of Grace (1956), Nick Joaquin's The Woman Who Had Two Navels (1961), Kerima Polotan's The Hand of the Enemy (1962), and Edith Tiempo's His Native Coast (1979). The period in which these novels were published (between the 1950s and the 1970s) has usually been considered by scholars such as Soledad Reyes (1994) and Cristina Pantoja-Hidalgo (2008) as the turning point of Philippine writing in English because of the authors’ innovative use of narrative techniques. However, despite all these observations, there is a lack of substantial and sustained critical work assessing the implications of these technical strategies, specifically in postcolonial studies. This thesis argues that the thematic concerns of the novels need to be related more productively to their formal innovations. It suggests that a contextual examination of the various narrative strategies and techniques deployed in the novels can help shed light on the authors’ respective projects of engaging with the consequences of both the American-endorsed narrative of Philippine modernity and development and the nationalists’ quest for the authentic Filipino. This thesis, thus, demonstrates the relationship between narrative structure and the modes of interrogation (or resistance, such as the case of Joaquin's novel) of postcolonial issues in the Filipino novels in English. 8.

[Emphases added] (Campomanes 1995, p. 160) In postcolonial literary studies, the concept of the center and the margins has been crucial to understanding relations between colonizer and colonized.

Eleven of the more than 7,107 islands and islets, only 700 inhabited, account for 96 per­ cent of the land. The islands of the archipel­ ago fall into three groups. The northernmost includes Mindoro and Luzon. Luzon, where Manila is located, is the center of government and the most heavily populated and industrialized sec­ tion of the country. The eight central islands of the Visayan group--Samar, Leyte, Cebu, Bohol, Negros, Panay, Masbate and Palawan--are second in development. To the south lie Sulu and Min­ danao with vast but relatively unexploited agri­ cultural and mineral potential.

  • Colonial Contractions: the Making of the Modern Philippines, 1565–1946
    Colonial Contractions: The Making of the Modern Philippines, 1565–1946 Colonial Contractions: The Making of the Modern Philippines, 1565–1946 Vicente L. Rafael Subject: Southeast Asia, Philippines, World/Global/Transnational Online Publication Date: Jun 2018 DOI: 10.1093/acrefore/9780190277727.013.268 Summary and Keywords The origins of the Philippine nation-state can be traced to the overlapping histories of three empires that swept onto its shores: the Spanish, the North American, and the Japanese. This history makes the Philippines a kind of imperial artifact. Like all nation- states, it is an ineluctable part of a global order governed by a set of shifting power rela­ tionships. Such shifts have included not just regime change but also social revolution. The modernity of the modern Philippines is precisely the effect of the contradictory dynamic of imperialism. The Spanish, the North American, and the Japanese colonial regimes, as well as their postcolonial heir, the Republic, have sought to establish power over social life, yet found themselves undermined and overcome by the new kinds of lives they had spawned. It is precisely this dialectical movement of empires that we find starkly illumi­ nated in the history of the Philippines. Keywords: Philippines, colonialism, empire, Spain, United States, Japan The origins of the modern Philippine nation-state can be traced to the overlapping histo­ ries of three empires: Spain, the United States, and Japan. This background makes the Philippines a kind of imperial artifact. Like all nation-states, it is an ineluctable part of a global order governed by a set of shifting power relationships.

    72 Journal of English Studies and Comparative Literature Vol. 20 No. 1 (2021) Gémino H. Abad Literary Awards for Poetry and for Literary Criticism Awardees What is an Editor?: Ricardo de Ungria as Producer of Knowledge Julian dela Cerna At the 35th National Book Awards, the poet Ricardo M. de Ungria re- ceived Best Anthology in English for Habagatanon: Conversations with Six Davao Writers (2015), a work that consists of transcripts of de Un- gria’s interviews with writers whose identities are proffered to its readers as Davaoeños; a sampling of the writers’ poems or short stories; and an introduction that traces the literary history of the said city and provides an overview of the conversations. Taking inspiration from The Writer and His Milieu: An Oral History of First Generation Writers in English (1984) and Writers and Their Milieu: An Oral History of Second Generation Writers in English (1993), which are both edited by Edilberto N. Alegre and Doreen G. Fernandez, de Ungria’s book is credited to him, the editor, for the research, interviews, and selection of works that best represent the featured writers. The judges at the National Book Awards recognize the effort and describe the book as: [A] lively set of dialogues with local writers and its meticulous work of documentation are such an impressive and laudable effort to recover the writers’ memories of their craft, fashion a knot of lesser- known but nonetheless significant local histories, and weave them into the larger frame of our national imagining.1 By initiating the project, as the citation suggests, de Ungria acts as a producer of knowledge, recording an oral history of craftsmanship that could have otherwise been forgotten, if not completely left unknown.

  • The History of Filipino Women's Writings by Riitta Vartti Sivu on Päivitetty 2.1.2007, Riitta Vartti, [email protected] Updated
    The History of Filipino Women's Writings by Riitta Vartti Sivu on päivitetty 2.1.2007, Riitta Vartti, [email protected] updated An article from Firefly - Filipino Short Stories (Tulikärpänen - filippiiniläisiä novelleja) Riitta Vartti (ed.), Kääntöpiiri, Helsinki 2001 The Philippines can be proud not only because of the country's high literacy rate but also because of her women authors who write and publish in the many languages of the country, both in the Philippines and abroad in diaspora. The development of women's writing is tied to the history of the country and the language question - from oral tradition to silencing of women under Spanish rule, from the English period under American rule to the date when more literature is written in vernacular. In this article is told more about the writers who are not represented elsewhere in the book "Firefly". The Language Question They spoke the language of his childhood, the language he never used in Manila because it was not cosmopolitan enough. Lakambini A. Sitoy: Bones (a short story in the collection Mens Rea) My family thinks in Spanish, feels in Tagalog, prays in Pidgin Latin, and speaks English. Sylvia Mayuga In the Philippines, people speak several tens of languages and dialects which belong to the Southeast Asian Malay group of languages. Tagalog, Visayan (bisaya) and Ilocano are among the most common native languages with their several dialects. Before the Spaniards colonized the islands in the 1500s, many of the indigenous peoples had also already developed their own writing system (1). However, in the Philippines just like in many other former colonized countries, majority of the writing middle class has not much used the languages of their people.

  • Translation and the Problem of Realism in Philippine Literature in English1
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Ateneo de Manila University: Journals Online Garcia / Translation and the Problem of Realism 99 TRANSLATION AND THE PROBLEM OF REALISM IN PHILIPPINE LITERATURE IN ENGLISH1 J. Neil C. Garcia University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City [email protected] Abstract To the degree that Philippine literature in English is translational it cannot be realistic: realism is a signifying practice that presupposes a monocultural ground, upon which the “consensus” of representational fidelity can happen. And yet, much of the criticism of this literature, as produced by Filipinos themselves, has generally failed to take note of this crucial precondition, enacting a ruinous category mistake that, among other things, unwittingly confounds contemporary departures from the referential towards the “avant-garde” and/or antimimetic modes, as these are espoused by young Filipino poets and fictionists alike. Finally, this paper argues that the various literary practices encoded in Philippine anglophone writing still need to be postcolonially specified, their translated or syncretic qualities critically recognized and acknowledged, and that this kind of interpretive labor needs to be made not only by locally engaged critics but also by Filipino writers who purport to champion more theoretically informed and self-reflexive “performances” or texts. Keywords anglophone, poetry, Filipino, mimetic, category mistake, avant-garde About the Author J. Neil C. Garcia teaches creative writing and comparative literature in the University of the Philippines, Diliman, where he serves as Director of the university press and a fellow for poetry in the Institute of Creative Writing.

  • Traditions in Philippine Literature and History: Synthesis and Analysis
    Journal of Global Media Studies Vol. 24 ［４校］ P.55 Traditions in Philippine Literature and History: Synthesis and Analysis Michael N. Quiros ※ Abstract This paper takes a different look at Philippine literature and history. By viewing the literature of a nation as an embodiment of its historical consciousness, it is able to reveal much about: Who is the Filipino today? What makes up and drives Philippine society and culture? To answer these questions, this paper looks into five major literary traditions of Philippine literature -- Native, Islamic, Spanish, American, and Nationalist – which in turn belong to any of the three historical periods of Philippine history: Pre-Colonial, Colonial, and Post-Colonial. Each of these traditions is also characterized by its own set of genre and generative themes in line with the spirit of the times. The paper concludes that all these five major literary traditions make up the Filipino today and are a driving force behind Philippine culture and society. Key words: Philippine Literature, Philippine History Introduction As the title suggests, this paper is about Philippine literary history inasmuch as it is about the socio-cultural history of the Philippines. Webbing the two themes together is made possible by the correspondence between the country’s historical periods and literary traditions, namely, Pre-Colonial (Native and Islamic), Colonial (Spanish and American), and Post-Colonial (Nationalist) respectively.1 According to Northrop Frye, litera- ture is like a looking glass through which “the whole cultural history of the nation that produced it comes into focus” and that it is possible to see “the cultural history of the nation by looking through that imagination” which is the language and realm of literature (cited in Willinsky 1998, 236).
