  • Diaspora As Historical/Political Trope in Philippine Literature by Rolando
    Diaspora as Historical/Political Trope in Philippine Literature by Rolando B. Tolentino University of the Philippines Film Institute Roland B. Tolentino is Associate Professor at the University of the Philippines Film Institute and currently a Visiting Professor at the National University of Singapore. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Southern California. He is co-editor of Transglobal Economies and Cultures: Contemporary Japan and Southeast Asia (2004). Other publications include National/Transnational: Subject Formation and Media in and on the Philippines (2001) and Sa loob at labas ng mall kong sawi/kaliluha'y siyang nangyayaring hari: Ang Pagkatuto at Pagtatanghal ng Kulturang Popular [Inside and outside my shattered mall/confusion reigns supreme: Pedagogy and Performance of Popular Culture] (2001). In the last forty years, the Philippine national economy has been increasingly fueled by remittances of OCWs (overseas contract workers). I prefer the term OCW to OFW (overseas Filipino worker) as the former highlights the nature of overseas work— contractual or forming the core of the latest labor imperative in postindustrial capitalism, flexible labor. OFW, on the other hand, represents the rhetoric of the Philippine state— “bagong bayani” or “new heroes” as signified by the growing abundance of its national labor abroad. So massive is the export of subcontractual human or Filipino/a labor that eight million OCWs accounted for some US$9 billion remittances in 2005. The amount is roughly 52 percent of the 2005 Philippine national budget of P957.56 billion, and could have covered three-fold the Philippine government’s national deficit of US$3.2 billion for the same year.

Annick was the first to think of me as a PhD candidate, and to give me the call that kick- started everything. Arjen followed up by arranging a meeting and convincing me to take the leap. The four years that followed seemed like an unlikely endeavor, but together we made it work.

For instance, the access to learn- ing material, conduction of commercial activities, promotion of agricultural activities, enhancement of governmental transparency, support of healthcare practices, etc. To harness the existing mobile infrastructure, diverse users are looking for effective and efficient ways, for instance, the Bayam Sellam in Cameroon. Bayam Sellam refers to people engaged in trade between rural and urban markets. This work analyses the usage and development of information and communication tech- nology in Sub-Sahara Africa in general, and the mobile technology and its constraints in particular. An efficient use of the mobile technology depends on appropriate mobile services and applications.
