Publication Date 2013 Peer reviewed|Thesis/dissertation eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Affective Cartographies: Transnational Labor and the Spectacularization of Suffering in Globalized Spaces A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature by Lisa Bernardo Felipe 2013 ! Copyright by Lisa Bernardo Felipe 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Affective Cartographies: Transnational Labor and the Spectacularization of Suffering in Globalized Spaces by Lisa Bernardo Felipe Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Eleanor Kaufman, Chair This dissertation explores the circulation of emotion and affect in contemporary Asian American and Pacific Rim transnational literature and film. This dissertation reveals how the nation-state appropriates emotive regimes as a way to exert power upon laboring bodies engaged in feminized forms of labor. This project also locates possibilities for resistance against the legacy of colonization and capitalism through multiple upheavals led by “the people.” These people’s movements are made possible by the circulation of affect—what I call the affect of imminence—that is marked by the sensation of impending possibility and is disseminated through informal networks that stand outside capitalist trajectories. ! ""! The first chapter, “American Dreaming: The Suffering Nation, Laboring Bodies and First World Fantasies,” reveals how affect becomes a biopolitical apparatus through the film La Visa Loca (2005) directed by Mark Miely and the novel ‘Gapô (1988) by Lualhati Bautista. While ‘Gapô reveals the psychological duress endured by sex workers under the American neocolonial rule, La Visa Loca maligns feminized labor overseas as a betrayal of the nation. The second chapter, “Placing Suffering: Global Circuits, Local Spaces and the Spectacle of Suffering,” focuses on the politics of the suffering body in globalized spaces within the Pacific Rim. Through two films—Lukas Moodysson’s Mammoth (2009) and Rory Quintos’s Dubai (2005)—I illustrate how the hierarchies established by capital in globalized cities are reinforced by the commodification of women involved in feminized forms of labor. Here, I argue that the spectacularized representations of the suffering female body are exploited to fulfill desires for capitalist accumulation by the nation-state. The final chapter, “Ephemeral Upheavals: Bodies, Borders and the Circulation of Affect,” locates the productive interventions of affect in Karen Tei Yamashita’s novel Tropic of Orange (1997) and Jessica Hagedorn’s Dogeaters (1990). This chapter argues that resistance is possible through the circulation of affects, which I call the affect of imminence, embodied by the shared sensation of potentiality in these two novels. By considering the Spinozist/Deleuzian model of the body alongside Frantz Fanon’s figuration of the revolutionary body in constant flux, I argue that these novels represent possibilities for resistance by similarly affected bodies within the liminal spaces of the global city. iii!

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation tracks the multiple and often-difficult crossings people have to make in order to fulfill the dreams they set out for themselves. This work draws inspiration from these kinds of journeys, one that my own parents, along with three children, endeavored to make not too long ago. While I could never thank my parents, Liz and Samuel Felipe, enough times for their love and support throughout my educational career, I am even more grateful and humbled by the countless sacrifices you both have made to give us a home despite having left the only place we knew as such. Our own Pacific crossing as a family has forever shaped my worldview and I am evermore thankful for your bravery, tenacity and strength. You have made it possible for me and my brothers to seek out new dreams and imagine new possibilities for ourselves and I am here today because of your guidance and encouragement. To you both, I dedicate this dissertation. My extended family has always been a great pillar upon which I can lean and for this I am grateful. To my brothers, Karl and P.J. Felipe, you are a constant source of laughter for me and while I may not say it often, I am quite proud to be your big sister. My thanks go out to the Escardas, Willie and Ida; the Byrnes, Stacey, Dean, and Khianna; and the Bernardos, especially Ver and Perla who open up their home to me each time I return to the Philippines. You all mean so much to me and I am happy to share this with you as well. During my undergraduate years at Occidental College, I was fortunate enough to have been the beneficiary of a rigorous education that provoked, challenged and captured my imagination. These were indeed formative years and I would not have pursued graduate work if it had not been for the encouragement of Warren Montag from the English and Comparative vii! Literature Studies Department at Oxy. Thank you, Warren, for helping me discover this great love for intellectual inquiry and for your support all these years. To my committee members, Shu-mei Shih, Lucy Burns, and Jinqi Ling, thank you for teaching such great courses. While I cannot even begin to qualify the value of your teachings, please know that you have inspired me to become a better student, educator, and scholar. Your feedback, criticism, and encouragement throughout the research and writing process pushed this project into fruition and for that, I am eternally grateful. To Eleanor Kaufman, my committee chair, I give my most sincere and deepest thanks. Your belief in my project kept me motivated and hopeful, even in my most challenging moments. I greatly appreciate all of the advice that you shared not only in writing this dissertation, but also in helping me navigate through the many peaks and valleys of graduate school and the job market. Thank you for all that you have done. To my UCLA friends, especially Myrna Douzjian, Neetu Khanna, Talar Chahinian, and Marian Gabra: your friendship, through it all, has been my lifeline. I am so lucky to have met such brilliant and bold women who inspire me everyday to live up to the political engagements of our work. I am thankful to call you my dearest friends, my sisters, and look forward to seeing our lives unfold together. Finally, to my partner and best friend, A.J. Cabalu: your companionship, affection, and optimism have saved me more times than I can count. Thank you for your patience and for your unwavering belief in me, without which this work would not have seen the light of day. I cannot wait to see what lies ahead for us because with you by my side, life is more buoyant, and the possibilities, boundless. viii! CURRICULUM VITAE Lisa B.

  • 'Let's Pretend We Are the Only People in the Universe'
    Scandinavica Vol 53 No 1 2014 ‘Let’s pretend we are the only people in the universe’: Entangled Inequalities in Lukas Moodysson’s Mammoth Elina Nilsson Uppsala Universitet (Uppsala University) Abstract This article utilizes an intersectional approach to examine Lukas Moodysson’s film Mammoth (2009). When the film premiered it was by some criticized for its over-explicit critique of globalization and its portrayals of the female characters as scapegoats. My aim is to show how the film’s critique of globalization entails even more complexity. An intersectional reading of Mammoth reveals that the film employs a structure of pronounced narrative layers to illustrate how different axes of stratifications are entangled on a global level, such as how the situation of the characters are determined by an interplay of their gender, class and race. The film is thus a rich example of why a sensitivity to intersectionality when mapping processes of globalization is highly important. At the same time there is an ambivalence with regard to how the female characters are represented, as the film in some respects fails to acknowledge their agency. Keywords Lukas Moodysson, Mammoth (film), globalization, intersectionality, gendered labour 55 Scandinavica Vol 53 No 1 2014 My first encounter with Lukas Moodysson’s international film Mammut (Mammoth, 2009) was at a movie theatre in Uppsala, Sweden, just shortly after its premiere.1 I remember stepping out of the theatre in the February cold feeling somewhat dispirited and sad, having read the film both as a critique of how contemporary parenthood (motherhood) fails to take care of children and as an over-explicit criticism of capitalist-driven globalization,2 consumption and Western exploitation of the South.

  • Si Judy Ann Santos at Ang Wika Ng Teleserye 344
    Sanchez / Si Judy Ann Santos at ang Wika ng Teleserye 344 SI JUDY ANN SANTOS AT ANG WIKA NG TELESERYE Louie Jon A. Sánchez Ateneo de Manila University [email protected] Abstract The actress Judy Ann Santos boasts of an illustrious and sterling career in Philippine show business, and is widely considered the “queen” of the teleserye, the Filipino soap opera. In the manner of Barthes, this paper explores this queenship, so-called, by way of traversing through Santos’ acting history, which may be read as having founded the language, the grammar of the said televisual dramatic genre. The paper will focus, primarily, on her oeuvre of soap operas, and would consequently delve into her other interventions in film, illustrating not only how her career was shaped by the dramatic genre, pre- and post- EDSA Revolution, but also how she actually interrogated and negotiated with what may be deemed demarcations of her own formulation of the genre. In the end, the paper seeks to carry out the task of generically explicating the teleserye by way of Santos’s oeuvre, establishing a sort of authorship through intermedium perpetration, as well as responding on her own so-called “anxiety of influence” with the esteemed actress Nora Aunor. Keywords aura; iconology; ordinariness; rules of assemblage; teleseries About the Author Louie Jon A. Sánchez is the author of two poetry collections in Filipino, At Sa Tahanan ng Alabok (Manila: U of Santo Tomas Publishing House, 2010), a finalist in the Madrigal Gonzales Prize for Best First Book, and Kung Saan sa Katawan (Manila: U of Santo To- mas Publishing House, 2013), a finalist in the National Book Awards Best Poetry Book in Filipino category; and a book of creative nonfiction, Pagkahaba-haba Man ng Prusisyon: Mga Pagtatapat at Pahayag ng Pananampalataya (Quezon City: U of the Philippines P, forthcoming).

  • Koreanovelas, Teleseryes, and the “Diasporization” of the Filipino/The Philippines Louie Jon A
    Koreanovelas, Teleseryes, and the “Diasporization” of the Filipino/the Philippines Louie Jon A. Sanchez In a previous paper, the author had begun discoursing on the process of acculturating Korean/Hallyu soap opera aesthetics in television productions such as Only You (Quintos, 2009), Lovers in Paris (Reyes, 2009), and Kahit Isang Saglit (Perez & Sineneng, 2008). This paper attempts to expand the discussions of his “critico-personal” essay by situating the discussions in what he described as the “diasporization” of the Filipino, and the Philippines, as constructed in recent soap operas namely Princess and I (Lumibao, Pasion, 2012) A Beautiful Affair (Flores, Pobocan, 2012), and Kailangan Ko’y Ikaw (Bernal & Villarin, 2013). In following the three teleserye texts, the author observes three hallyu aesthetic influences now operating in the local sphere—first, what he called the “spectacularization” of the first world imaginary in foreign dramatic/fictional spaces as new “spectre of comparisons” alluding to Benedict Anderson; the crafting of the Filipino character as postcolonially/neocolonially dispossessed; and the continued perpetration of the imagination of Filipino location as archipelagically—and consequently, nationally—incoherent. The influences result in the aforementioned “diasporization”, an important trope of simulated and dramaturgically crafted placelessness in the process of imagining Filipino “communities” and their sense of “historical” reality, while covering issues relating to the plight and conditions of the diasporic Filipino. Keywords: Koreanovelas, Korean turn, teleserye, translation, imagined communities, diaspora, hallyu After a decade of its constant presence in the Philippine market, the extent of change brought about by the “Koreanovela” in the landscape of Philippine television is clearly noticeable and merits revaluation.
