  • In September 2011 While Researching at the National Archive of Vietnam in Hanoi, I Had the Good Fortune of Catching Bizet's Ca
    CODA In September 2011 while researching at the National Archive of Vietnam in Hanoi, I had the good fortune of catching Bizet’s Carmen at the Hanoi Opera House [Nhà hát lớn Hà Nội] on the occasion of the theatre’s cen- tennial. The production featured Vietnamese soprano Vanh Khuyen as Carmen, tenors Thanh Binh and Nguyen Vu alternating as Don Jose, and Manh Dung as Escamillo. The production was accompanied by the Orchestra of Vietnam National Opera and Ballet conducted by British conductor Graham Sutcliffe. It was directed by Swedish director Helena Rohr, who had worked previously with the company through a cultural exchange between the Swedish and Vietnamese governments. Rohr’s staging of the opera was adapted to contemporary Hanoi setting: The tobacco factory was replaced with a Hanoi garment sweatshop. The opera house, built during the French occupation and finished in 1911, initially housed European opera and theatre companies performing for the European population until the end of the French rule. After the indepen- dence of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the opera house served as an important political and government meeting house, occasionally hosting performing arts events. In 1995, the theatre was renovated and since then has been home to Vietnamese and Western classical concert music, opera, drama, and ballet. In 2012, while attending the Australasian Drama, Theatre, and Performance Studies Conference in Melbourne, I attended Prof. Barbara © The Author(s) 2018 225 m. yamomo, Theatre and Music in Manila and the Asia Pacific, 1869–1946, Transnational Theatre Histories, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-69176-3 226 CODA Hatley’s presentation of Il La Galigo, an opera conceived by Robert Wilson based on Rhoda Grauer’s adaptation of the Buginese scroll epic, Sureq Galigo of South Sulawesi.

ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Hip-hop, Streetdance, and the Remaking of the Global Filipino by Jeffrey Lorenzo Perillo Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Susan Leigh Foster, Committee Co-Chair Professor Victor Bascara, Committee Co-Chair New York-based African American, Latino, and Caribbean immigrant youth of the 1960s and early 1970s gave life to one of the world's major contemporary cultural movements: Hip-hop. Initially misunderstood as a faddish form of Black male musical expression, Hip-hop's cultural resistance practices were quickly recognized as four core elements (emceeing, turntablism, graffiti art, and b-boying/b-girling). In the global context, Hip-hop has generated scholarly discourse that points to either the cultural globalization of American Blackness or a "global village." My project interrupts this conversation and focuses on the unique, multi-site cultural history of Filipino identity as constituted through practitioners of Hip-Hop dance. My work argues that a community of Filipinos, situated in different geo-political loci—Berkeley, California, Honolulu, Hawai‘i, and Manila, Philippines—configure prevailing concepts of Hip-hop while remaking conditions of ! ii dispossession and displacement in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

Recto’s Domestic Dramas Abstract Near the beginning of a prolific nda productive career as a writer and statesman, Claro M. Recto (1890-1960) authored two prize-winning dramas that were performed at the Manila Grand Opera House. Each of the plays—La ruta de Damasco (1913) and Solo entre las sombras (1917)—is a drama that represents the interactions of an ilustrado family in its relationship to the imposition of cultural practices and power structures under American rule. This essay proposes that in these dramas written by an ilustrado and performed for an interpellated ilustrado audience, the ilustrado home stands as a metonym of the nation, its family a synecdoche of the national community.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT Unlike communist parties elsewhere in Asia, the Partido Komunista sa Pilipinas (PKP) was constituted almost entirely by acti­ vists from the working class. Radical intellectuals, professionals and other middle class elements were conspicuously absent. More parti­ cularly, the PKP was rooted In the Manila labour movement and, to a lesser extent, in the peasant movement of Central Luzon. This study explores these origins and then examines the character, outlook and performance of the Party in the first three years of its existence (1930-33). Socialist ideas began to circulate during the early 1900s, but were not given durable organisational expression until 1922, when a Workers’ Party was formed. Led by cadres from the country's principal labour federation, the Congreso Obrero, this party aligned its policies increasingly with those of the Comintern.

  • Southeast Asia in the Age of Jazz: Locating Popular Culture in the Colonial Philippines and Indonesia
    444 Journal of Southeast Asian Studies, 44(3), pp 444–464 October 2013. © The National University of Singapore, 2013 doi:10.1017/S0022463413000350 Southeast Asia in the age of jazz: Locating popular culture in the colonial Philippines and Indonesia Peter Keppy Referencing insights from Cultural Studies and taking a jazz-age perspective, this essay aims to historicise and ‘locate the popular’ in colonial Indonesia and the Philippines. A new cultural era dawned in the 1920s urban hubs of Southeast Asia, associated with the creation of novel forms of vernacular literature, theatre, music and their consumption via the print press, gramophone, radio broadcasting and cinema. By investigating the complex relationship between the elusive phenomena of modernity, cosmopolitanism and nationalism as articulated by two pioneering artists active in commercial music and theatre, the social significance of popular cul- ture is scrutinised. The 1920s was a period of intensive cultural borrowing and experimentation. The inter-ethnic urbanites, particularly a newly emerging middle-class of professionals and officials in harbour cities like Manila, Cebu, Batavia, Surabaya and Singapore, took part in this process as both producers and consumers, enjoying theatre, litera- ture, cinema and phonographic recordings. New forms of music, theatre, literature and fashion (dress, hairstyles) have, often implicitly, been associated with burgeoning popular culture and the interrelated upsurge of media technologies such as the gramo- phone, radio broadcasting, motion pictures and the print media.1 Peter Keppy is senior researcher at NIOD, Institute of War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Amsterdam.

  • The American Colonial and Contemporary Traditions
    THE AMERICAN COLONIAL AND CONTEMPORARY TRADITIONS The American tradition in Philippine architecture covers the period from 1898 to the present, and encompasses all architectural styles, such as the European styles, which came into the Philippines during the American colonial period. This tradition is represented by churches, schoolhouses, hospitals, government office buildings, commercial office buildings, department stores, hotels, movie houses, theaters, clubhouses, supermarkets, sports facilities, bridges, malls, and high-rise buildings. New forms of residential architecture emerged in the tsalet, the two-story house, and the Spanish-style house. The contemporary tradition refers to the architecture created by Filipinos from 1946 to the present, which covers public buildings and private commercial buildings, religious structures, and domestic architecture like the bungalow, the one-and-a-half story house, the split-level house, the middle-class housing and the low-cost housing project units, the townhouse and condominium, and least in size but largest in number, the shanty. History The turn of the century brought, in the Philippines, a turn in history. Over three centuries of Spanish rule came to an end, and five decades of American rule began. The independence won by the Philippine Revolution of 1896 was not recognized by Spain, nor by the United States, whose naval and military forces had taken Manila on the pretext of aiding the revolution. In 1898 Spain ceded the Philippines to the United States, and after three years of military rule the Americans established a civil government. With a new regime came a new culture. The English language was introduced and propagated through the newly established public school system.
