  • Vanguard Label Discography Was Compiled Using Our Record Collections, Schwann Catalogs from 1953 to 1982, a Phono-Log from 1963, and Various Other Sources
    Discography Of The Vanguard Label Vanguard Records was established in New York City in 1947. It was owned by Maynard and Seymour Solomon. The label released classical, folk, international, jazz, pop, spoken word, rhythm and blues and blues. Vanguard had a subsidiary called Bach Guild that released classical music. The Solomon brothers started the company with a loan of $10,000 from their family and rented a small office on 80 East 11th Street. The label was started just as the 33 1/3 RPM LP was just gaining popularity and Vanguard concentrated on LP’s. Vanguard commissioned recordings of five Bach Cantatas and those were the first releases on the label. As the long play market expanded Vanguard moved into other fields of music besides classical. The famed producer John Hammond (Discoverer of Robert Johnson, Bruce Springsteen Billie Holiday, Bob Dylan and Aretha Franklin) came in to supervise a jazz series called Jazz Showcase. The Solomon brothers’ politics was left leaning and many of the artists on Vanguard were black-listed by the House Un-American Activities Committive. Vanguard ignored the black-list of performers and had success with Cisco Houston, Paul Robeson and the Weavers. The Weavers were so successful that Vanguard moved more and more into the popular field. Folk music became the main focus of the label and the home of Joan Baez, Ian and Sylvia, Rooftop Singers, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Doc Watson, Country Joe and the Fish and many others. During the 1950’s and early 1960’s, a folk festival was held each year in Newport Rhode Island and Vanguard recorded and issued albums from the those events.

    ANGELO DE LA CRUZ AND THE POLITICS OF VICTIMS Rainier A. Ibana Ateneo de Manila University, Philippines Abstract Ibana’s paper proposes an articulation of the noble aspirations of traditional cultures against the horizon of the monolithic grids of Western globalization. The case of Mr. Angelo de la Cruz, the truck driver whose life was saved by the Philippine government by withdrawing its troops from Iraq has shown that the intrusive powers of the global geopolitics can be thwarted by local cultures as long as the latter can justify their values within the broader context of the community of human persons. The withdrawal by the weaker party from the game of power can succeed only to the extent that such a withdrawal is premised on the affirmation of higher values. Introduction On July 20, 2004, Angelo de la Cruz, a Filipino truck driver was freed by his Iraqi captors in exchange for the Philippine government’s withdrawal of its humanitarian contingent from Iraq. The whole nation expressed its relief and thanksgiving by hosting a festival in his hometown. The events celebrated traditional Filipino values such as our zest for life, personalism, intimate family life, and religiosity. Our western allies, such as Australia and the United States, however, ridiculed us and bewailed our lack of courage and commitment to keep our promises to the so-called “Coalition of the Willing.” The U.S. Ambassador, at one point, quipped that we should not mistake our friends from our enemies (PDI). 136 Prajñâ Vihâra, Volume 6, Number 1, January-June 2005, 136-146 © 2000 by Assumption University Press The conflict between the decision of the Philippine President and our western allies reveal the inherent tension between the local values of traditional societies like the Philippines and the liberal presuppositions of modern countries like the USA and Australia.

  • A Deleuzian Reading of the EDSA Revolutions and the Possibility of Becoming-Revolutionary Today
    Asia-Pacific Social Science Review 14(1) 2014, pp. 59-74 A Deleuzian Reading of the EDSA Revolutions and the Possibility of Becoming-Revolutionary Today Raniel SM. Reyes The Graduate School, University of Santo Tomas, Manila, Philippines [email protected] Abstract: This paper presents a Deleuzian re-thinking of the three EDSA Revolutions in the Philippines. Its frame is limited to contemporary and critical studies found in books, journals, and newspapers. Initially, I elucidate the nature of 1986 EDSA I Revolution, to be followed by an articulation of the concepts of assemblage and difference for a re-configuration of the 1986 revolution. I highlight and explain how the Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue (EDSA) transfigured into an arena of collective and dynamic action of various assemblagic relations. The rhizomic interaction of heterogeneous forces in the said highway undeniably exterminated the privileging of numerous traditional representations in the Philippine society. Furthermore, I explain the transition from the EDSA I revolution going to the EDSA II with a principal thrust on the principle of the eternal return as the return of the different, and the paradoxical ever-recurrence of political tyranny. Lastly, I explicate the narrative on how the Filipino assemblage is always caught in the web of ressentiment and identity, based from the EDSA I, II, and III. Due to these degenerate consequences, this essay recommends the conception of a new brand of revolution that is critical of molar and fascist political representations―the possibility of becoming-revolutionary today. Keywords: Deleuze, EDSA revolution, despotism, assemblage, difference, eternal return, becoming- revolutionary A revolution is something of the nature of a process, a change that makes it impossible to go back to the same point .

    Roadmapping Capacity Building Needs in Consumer Protection in ASEAN ASEAN AUSTRALIA DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION PROGRAM PHASE II (AADCP II) ROADMAPPING CAPACITY BUILDING NEEDS IN CONSUMER PROTECTION IN ASEAN Consumers International COUNTRY REPORT: PHILIPPINES (FINAL) (Revised 15 June 2011) ―The views expressed in this report are those of the author/s, and not necessarily reflect the views of the ASEAN Secretariat and/or the Australian Government. The report has been prepared solely for use of the ASEAN Secretariat and should not be used by any other party or for other than its intended purpose.‖ Country Report – Philippines (Final) i ABSTRACT The Philippines is one of the 10 ASEAN Member States (AMS) that have a general consumer protection law. Called the Consumer Act of the Philippines or Republic Act No. 7394, it has comprehensive legal provisions for consumer protection. The Act has improved consumer protection in the Philippines. It has been translated into a number of programs and projects, which increased awareness on consumer rights and advanced consumer welfare. The integration of consumer education in secondary school curriculum and the establishment of consumer redress mechanisms by the Department of Trade and Industry in all its offices are some of the laudable efforts of the Philippine government on consumer protection. Much still needs to be done though. One of the fundamental rights of consumers - that is the right to satisfaction of basic needs - has yet to be fulfilled for Juan dela Cruz1 and over 90 million other Filipinos. This report aims to walk through readers with the formal and operational contexts of consumer protection in the Philippines.

  • In This Issue of KRITIKE: an Online Journal of Philosophy
    KRITIKE VOLUME FOUR NUMBER TWO (DECEMBER 2010) i-v Editorial In this Issue of KRITIKE: An Online Journal of Philosophy Paolo A. Bolaños he Editorial Board of KRITIKE: An Online Journal of Philosophy is happy to release the journal’s eighth edition, marking the culmination of T the year 2010. The essays in this edition tackle, in varying degrees but all of sterling quality, issues on language and hermeneutics, society and the problem of commodification, mediated psychopathy, education, postcolonial discourse, political resistance, the reception of critical theory, and also on more philological treatments of the works of Plato, Nietzsche, and Kant. The interdisciplinary character of these essays and the cross-pollination of theoretico-critical discourses demonstrated by them are not to be missed. The so called “linguistic turn” in Western philosophy has an indefinitely long and complex history. The phrase was itself coined by the Austrian philosopher and member of the Vienna Circle, Gustav Bergmann, during the early 20th Century, to refer to the philosophical study of language, understood by Analytic philosophers as propositional logic. This philosophical preoccupation with language, however, cuts through the Continental-Analytic divide. As a matter of fact, Plato already mentioned the significance of speech in philosophy in the Timaeus and also took issue with the normative character of names in the Cratylus. A similar concern about language reemerges during the 18th Century via the works of Johann Georg-Hamann, who analyzed the constitutive function of language in thought. This is followed through by the Hermeneutical tradition, championed by Friedrich Daniel Schleiermacher. The philosophical study of language is carried over by more contemporary hermeneutical philosophers, especially Paul Ricoeur.

As a powerful theoretical tradition in International Relations and its subfield of Security Studies, realism provides systematic explanation and understanding of the security environment in which threats are real. It has brought back security theorizing to its senses, by making the discourse on realpolitik, armed conflicts, and state survival in an anarchic international community even more vibrant and vigilant. In the absence of a central governing authority in the international system, security has been construed by sovereign states along the lines of their own national security interests and strategic goals.

FOREWORD We launched the Directory of Asia-Pacific Human Rights Centers in late 2007 to highlight the important role that organizations, institutes, and other entities that gather and disseminate information on human rights play or should play in the field of human rights. This Directory (with an online version) profiles the organizations, institutes, and other entities in the Asia-Pacific that perform the role of human rights centers in one way or the other. The numerous issues, programs, approaches and outputs they work on show the existence of resources that are useful for human rights protection, promotion and realization. This Directory provides a substantive list of the human rights centers in the Asia-Pacific. Yet, it certainly does not cover all the human rights centers existing in various parts of the region. It includes human rights centers that work at various levels – community, national, regional and international. We hope that this Directory helps focus attention to the importance of gathering and disseminating information on human rights as shown by the valuable work of the human rights centers. We hope also that this Directory opens more opportunities for people, particularly those in small communities, to make the human rights centers work for their needs and aspirations.
