  • History and Mysteries of Miag-Ao Church: an Interview with Msgr
    Photo by Norman Posecion taken at 3 AM on Good Friday, 2013 before the start of the ‘Pagtaltal’ procession with the Milky Way lighting up the skies above. History and Mysteries of Miag-ao Church: An interview with Msgr. Claudio S. Sale by Jonathan R. Matias Sulu Garden, Miag-ao, Iloilo Easter Sunday, April 5, 2015 with Arjun P. Palmos and Jacob Adrian Lorella I have always wanted to know more about Miag-ao Church beyond the often rehashed trivia written in travel blogs and the bland descriptions of the church in Wikipedia and similar type of information sources. I always considered any house of worship like a living being. It has a colorful, complicated past and uncertain future. It has mysteries and legends. Its daily life has a rhythm of its own, a dynamic personality being shaped slowly by the changing times and the people. Miag-ao Church is very much alive. Only if its sandstone walls could talk. What stories we would hear from the many centuries that have passed and the tens thousands who whispered stories within its wall. Of stories and gossips, of intrigues and of pure religious expressions of the faithfuls. The Facebook post by ‘Bobot’ Montealto (Miagao Hits) in December 22, 2014 on the subject of the 55th Sacerdotal Anniversary of Monsignor Claudio S. Sale made me pause. (Frankly, I did not know what sacerdotal meant and had to look it up in the dictionary which is defined as “of or relating to priesthood.” Just in case you didn’t either, now you know!).

  • Global Baroque – Transcultural and Transhistorical Aspects: Some Prelimenary Reflections
    Global Baroque – transcultural and transhistorical aspects: some prelimenary reflections Jens Baumgarten Professor at Art History Department – Federal University of São Paulo – UNIFESP ABSTRACT In the last years the term of a global baroque bacame more prominent. This article presented as prelimenary reflections intends to contextualize this transhistorical and transcultural approach within the developments of the so-called global art history. It also tries to (de-)construct its historiographical fundaments in the 19th century as well as its possible theoretical implications for the 21st century. KEYWORDS Baroque, Theory, Historiography. Fig. 1: Façade of San Joaquin Church, 1869, Iloilo, Philippines. Photo: Jens Baumgarten. RHAA 24 - JUL/DEZ 2015 29 Fig. 2: Façade of Miagao Church, 1787, Iloilo, Philippines. Photo: Jens Baumgarten. The façade of the church San Joaquin on the Filipino island of Iloilo shows on its upper part a monumental relief [Fig. 1]. It joins several scenes of the victory of the Spanish victory over the “Moors” in the battle of Tétouan, which happened in 1860 in Morrocos. The representation surprizes by its stylistic and iconographical choices. The history painting of the 19th century was already established, but the choice of the local authorities followd in a record time – the execution happened already in 1865 – followed the Baroque models of a specific Filipino model. This model can for example be found in the Miagao Church only 40 kilometers of distance [Fig. 2]. This example not only proves the expression of Kosselleck: “Gleichzeitigkeit des Ungleichzeitigen” (Simultaneoutiy of the unsimultaneous), but show the possibilities of a transcultural and transhistorical baroque approach to understand these phenomens as well as these kind of artifacts, which were excluded from a traditional art history.
