The burden of proof: The Vargas-Laurel collaboration case

The Burden of Proof: The Vargas-Laurel Collaboration Case

The essays in this volume attempt to contribute to a dialogue on theoretical practice, a discussion of concepts, paradigms, methodologies needed to elucidate and evaluate cultural production in our society. While they are concerned mainly with literary criticism and analysis (textual hermeneutics, symptomatic reading), attention has been given to the political tensions inscribed in film and music. Written over the last decade, these essays represent San Juan's responses to a whole range of popular democratic initiatives in the cultural struggle during the period that witnessed the rapid decline of Marcos' "New Society" to the brief "springtime" of ceasefire talks between the National Democratic Front (NDF) and the Aquino government and finally to the return of neocolonial democracy and the reign of the vigilantes. Like his books Crisis in the Philippines, Subversions of Desire, Only by Struggle, and From People to Nation, this volume should be read in the context of the occasions when they were written, and judged in terms of the orientation they provide and the concrete mediations they afford for the collective project of constructing a Filipino nation armed for the unpredictable challenges of the 21st century.

PHILIPPINE FOLK LITERATURE (Philippine Folk Literature Series)

History & Criticism

This book looks at photographs published in travel accounts and government documents of the early American colonial period in the Philippines. It takes as its premise photography's power as an instrument unusually effective for the presentation of colonialist ideology, and discusses its role in the legitimation of the American colonial enterprise in the Philippines. Drawing upon diverse examples of American representation of the Philippines - ranging from travel books, photographic albums and ethnological research papers to the 1903 Census of the Philippines and the Louisiana Purchase Exposition of 1904 - this book seeks to show that the production and publication of these photographs is predicated on the same, predetermined colonial narrative, which both engendered and informed the production of colonial photographs. The mass circulation of these photographs as commodities, augmented by their reproducibility, helped to shape stereotype images of the Philippines and Filipinos under colonial rule. This book then attempts to provide deeper insights into the nature of American colonialism and representation of the Philippines.

Philippine Gay Culture: The Last 30 Years, is a two-part study that attempts to inaugurate an academic clearing in which issues of (male) homosexuality may be raised. Part One undertakes a perceptive investigation into the earliest incidences, varieties, developments, complexities and problems of the discourse of sexual orientation in the Philippines. By looking into sources written in the Spanish era, as well as a number of other texts that treat the question of sexuality in the past three decades, this book seeks to answer the question of why no liberation movement has been forthcoming from the various gay-identified sectors in the country. This interest leads the book into an examination of the conceptual history of local gay culture, and of the lack of fit between the different - and inevitably, conflicting - understandings of homosexuality and effeminacy, as these have been lived out by Filipinos in the metropolitan centers of the Philippines in the last 30 years. In the second part of this book, the author subjects three texts - written by Severino Montano, Orlando Nadres, and Tony Perez - to an autobiographical reading whose aim is to resituate their sexual politics at the center of the hermeneutic project. In doing so, the book argues for the desirability - and the necessity - of a gay literary criticism that will not only gloss over the question of self-representation and sexuality, and that will move away from the New Critical procedure that depersonalizes the text and all supposedly good-natured readings of it.
