    TEXTING CAPITAL: Mobile Phones, Social Transformation, and the Reproduction of Power in the Philippines A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at George Mason University By Cecilia S. Uy-Tioco Master of Arts The New School University, 2004 Master of Arts New York University, 1996 Bachelor of Arts Ateneo de Manila University, 1992 Director: Timothy Gibson, Associate Professor Department of Communication Summer Semester 2013 George Mason University Fairfax, VA This work is licensed under a creative commons attribution-noderivs 3.0 unported license. ii DEDICATION For my mom, Joy Uy-Tioco, who encouraged me to be curious, intellectually and otherwise, and to the memory of my dad, George Uy-Tioco, who would have loved mobile phones, text messaging, and the Internet. +AMDG iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It would have been impossible to complete this degree without the support of friends, family, professors, and colleagues. I must start by thanking my dissertation chair, Tim Gibson, who has been incredibly encouraging, generous, and supportive, while being firm and constructively critical. If I could be half the professor he is, I would consider myself a success. I too am a charter member of the Tim Gibson fan club. Throughout my time at the CS program Paul Smith has always challenged me and pushed me to think more critically, and for that I am most grateful. It was during a directed reading course with Mark Sample that I really began to study new media and I am grateful for his support and insights. My scholarship has been enriched by courses and conversations with various faculty members at the GMU CS program particularly, Debra Lattanzi Shutika, Roger Lancaster, Dina Copelman, Jean-Paul Dumont, Denise Albanese, Hugh Gusterson, Debra Berghoffen, Johanna Bockman, Ellen Todd, and Scott Trafton.
