Globalization is a sensitive issue in Asia given the wide development gap among its countries. And even within a country, the income disparity among peoples exists, making it hard for the so-called have-nots to appreciate the supposed gains of the globalist thrusts of liberalization, deregulation and privatization. Just like in other parts of the world, globalization has its supporters and detractors in Asia. Free competition among foreign and local corporations and the free � ow of trade in goods and services indeed have varying impacts depending on the level of development of a country in general or a community in particular. � e 11 studies in this book show the “makeover” that selected countries in Asia have undergone due to globalization. Clearly, the la� er’s eff ects go beyond economics as Asian politics and culture (including media) tend to evolve due to the changing times. While these studies do not cover the entire Asian experience with regard to globalization and other in� uences, they nevertheless give interested readers the speci� c experience in selected Asian countries like the Philippines, Korea and East Timor while providing a general context of Asian media and culture. v FINAL_introduction.indd v 12/21/2010 2:16:15 PM Global Makeover I thank the authors not only for agreeing to publish their works in this book; but also for making the editing process relatively convenient and enlightening. Unlike many academics I know whose writing styles are inscrutable, the authors’ are generally understandable. Many of them have actually agreed to condense their studies so that they would become more readable to a wider audience. I also thank the publishers of this book – the Asian Media and Culture Forum (AMCF) in Korea and the Development Center for Asia Africa Paci� c (DCAAP) – for the opportunity to edit this collection, as well as the editorial independence I enjoyed. In the early stages of producing this book, I asked the help of my wife, Judith L. Balean-Arao, in coming up with a somewhat logical order of presentation of the articles. Even at the risk of sounding biased, I thank her for her excellent work. Allow me to end this short introduction with a message to the reader (yes, that’s you): I hope that you will � nd this collection worthy of your high standards in research and writing. Danilo Araña Arao Editor 6 December 2010 Quezon City, Philippines vi FINAL_introduction.indd vi 12/21/2010 2:16:16 PM Regional Contexts of Media Cooperation • Caroline Hau Regional Contexts of Media Cooperation and Artistic Collaboration in East Asia by Caroline S. Hau � e substantial increase in cross-border � ows and instances of cooperation and collaboration within Asia underscores the salience and importance of using “region” as a unit of analysis that mediates between “local” and “national,” on the one hand, and “global” on the other hand. � is paper provides an overview of the changing regional systems and contexts – geopolitical, economic, cultural, an ideological – within which media cooperation and artistic collaboration, especially in the realm of cinema, are taking place in East Asia. It presents three examples of co-productions by Asian � lmmakers that seek, with varying degrees of success, to tap the emerging regional consumer market. When we think of media cooperation, we envision a number of ways in which such cooperation may take place. Media � rms and companies, for example, from Hong Kong, or Taiwan, or Japan, or South Korea may work together to co-produce a � lm, develop a television program, or release an album of songs. In East Asia, this type of cooperation normally happens at an institutional level through market forces, but not between states. � ere may also be another way of thinking of cooperation, that is, in artistic terms, for which we o� en use the word “collaboration” rather then “cooperation,” when we speak, for example, of mainland Chinese or Taiwanese � lm directors working with Hong Kong, Malaysian Chinese, � ai, Korean, or Singaporean talent. What is noteworthy about these cooperative and collaborative ventures is that: 1) these forms of intra-Asian networking and working together appear to be occurring more and more frequently at least over the past two decades; 2) they involve cross-border � ows and cross-cultural exchanges that go beyond a single nation-state; and 3) the regional scope and limits of these cross-border and cross-cultural � ows suggest that Global Makeover • 1-101 FINAL_01_regional_contexts.indd 1 12/21/2010 2:16:36 PM Global Makeover theoretical frameworks such as the “global,” “national” and “local” are no longer adequate to our understanding of what is happening at the ground level (see the critique by Otmazgin 2007). In other words, when we look at media cooperation and artistic collaboration across “Asia,” the theme posed by this conference, we � nd ourselves confronting a number of questions that have to do with the speci� c densities and pa� erns of these cross-border interactions, connections, exchanges and receptions.

  • Women in Filipino Religion-Themed Films
    Review of Women’s Studies 20 (1-2): 33-65 WOMEN IN FILIPINO RELIGION-THEMED FILMS Erika Jean Cabanawan Abstract This study looks at four Filipino films—Mga Mata ni Angelita, Himala, Ang Huling Birhen sa Lupa, Santa Santita—that are focused on the discourse of religiosity and featured a female protagonist who imbibes the image and role of a female deity. Using a feminist framework, it analyzes the subgenre’s connection and significance to the Filipino consciousness of a female God, and the imaging of the Filipino woman in the context of a hybrid religion. The study determines how religion is used in Philippine cinema, and whether or not it promotes enlightenment. The films’ heavy reference to religious and biblical images is also examined as strategies for myth-building. his study looks at the existence of Filipino films that are focused T on the discourse of religiosity, featuring a female protagonist who imbibes the image and assumes the role of a female deity. The films included are Mga Mata ni Angelita (The Eyes of Angelita, 1978, Lauro Pacheco), Himala (Miracle, 1982, Ishmael Bernal), Ang Huling Birhen sa Lupa (The Last Virgin, 2002, Joel Lamangan) and Santa Santita (Magdalena, 2004, Laurice Guillen). In the four narratives, the female protagonists eventually incur supernatural powers after a perceived apparition of the Virgin Mary or the image of the Virgin Mary, and incurring stigmata or the wounds of Christ. Using a feminist framework, this paper through textual analysis looks at the Filipino woman in this subgenre, as well as those images’ connection and significance to the Filipino consciousness of a female God.

  • Reinforcing Myths About Women in Philippine Culture 275
    Mendoza / Reinforcing Myths About Women in Philippine Culture 275 REINFORCING MYTHS ABOUT WOMEN IN PHILIPPINE CULTURE Semiotic Analyses of the Sexbomb Girls in Eat Bulaga’s Laban o Bawi Trina Leah Mendoza University of the Philippines Los Baños [email protected] Abstract Movie and TV stars are an influential part of Philippine society. Not only do they entertain audiences with their television shows or movies, but their private lives and actions are arguably as interesting to the public. Celebrities and stars are admired, idolized, and looked up to by many of their followers, such that their values and actions can greatly influence their fans. However, their images may hold various meanings that are not evident to many people. This study analyzes a group of unconventional stars that changed the landscape of noontime viewing—the Sexbomb Girls—using a semiotic approach. It seeks to reveal the different images of women portrayed by the Sexbomb Girls, and understand how media can reinforce myths. The Sexbomb Girls were a social phenomenon and a product of production that depicted binary oppositions and metaphors: virgin/vamp, loud woman, and ordinary woman. These signs, binary oppositions, and metaphors served as myths that naturalized, influenced, and reinforced sexy female background dancers into becoming an ordinary part of noontime and game shows. Because they appeared six days a week in Eat Bulaga, the Sexbomb Girls have desensitized the Filipino masses such that seeing sexily clad background dancers in these shows has become ordinary and acceptable. Keywords binary oppositions; metaphors; semiotics; Sexbomb Girls; signs; social phenomenon Kritika Kultura 33/34 (2019/2020): 275–298 © Ateneo de Manila University <http://journals.ateneo.edu/ojs/kk/> Mendoza / Reinforcing Myths About Women in Philippine Culture 276 About the Author Trina Leah Mendoza is an assistant professor at the Department of Development Broadcasting and Telecommunication, College of Development Communication, University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB).
