Critical Race Studies Now
Martial Law Now, as Then
In the middle of the global pandemic of 2020, as states of emergency were declared in both the Philippines and the United States, Filipinx scholars offer memories and reflections of life under martial law in the Philippines and its aftermath and resonances in the present
Routed through Canada
The series of reflections are based on a roundtable discussion amongst Canada-based scholars with research interest in transnational, postcolonial, migration and diaspora studies. Their reflections engage with key ideas from Inter-Asia Cultural Studies through the lens of their research practices and personal histories. Y-Dang Troeung revisits generational memories that are shaped by the “Cold War fraternity” of China, Cambodia, and North Korea t…
Queering Urban Justice
The Ruse of Respectability
This article focuses on queer Filipino artists who deploy familial memories to produce important knowledge around what it means to be queer, racialized, and diasporic in Canada. Through Patrick Salvani’s drag show Sarap (2017) and Casey Mecija’s short film My Father, Francis (2013), the author tracks how familial memories expose the contradictions inherent in being sexually and racially marginalized within this multicultural, settler colonial spa…
Biyuti from Below
This article examines kabaklaan's conflation with biyuti, pageantry, and fabulosity to better understand how such a conflation facilitates complex articulations of transgender lives and aspirations in the Philippines today. While reflecting on the significance of Out Run, a film about Ladlad's unsuccessful bid to win congressional seats during the 2013 elections, and Die Beautiful, a film about the travails of a transgender beauty queen who dies …
Diasporic Intimacies
Global Asian American Popular Cultures
A toolkit for understanding how Asian Americans influence, consume and are reflected by mainstream media. Asian Americans have long been the subject and object of popular culture in the U.S. The rapid circulation of cultural flashpoints-such as the American obsession with K-pop sensations, Bollywood dance moves, and sriracha hot sauce-have opened up new ways of understanding how the categories of "Asian" and "Asian American" are counterbalanced w…
Queer Unsettlements
This article examines how queer diasporic migrants subtend the hierarchizing practices of Canadian multiculturalism and settler colonialism. As a case study, it focuses on “Cabinet of Queeriosities,” a contemporary art exhibit that featured the work of Julius Manapul, and Miss Gay Philippines Canada, a beauty pageant that featured Filipino/a contestants competing from across the greater Toronto area. By tracing the complex articulations of nonnor…
Filipino Studies
After years of occupying a vexed position in the American academy, Philippine studies has come into its own, emerging as a trenchant and dynamic space of inquiry. Filipino Studies is a field-defining collection of vibrant voices, critical perspectives, and provocative ideas about the cultural, political, and economic state of the Philippines and its diaspora. Traversing issues of colonialism, neoliberalism, globalization, and nationalism, this vo…
The Limits ofBaklaand Gay
Although the past decade has been characterized by a sustained and generative examination of queer lives in the Philippines and in the diaspora, this emergent scholarship has primarily focused on the lives of gay men, bakla identities, and cisgendered persons. Contributing to dialogues within feminist, queer, and postcolonial studies, this article places the most legible subjects of such critical scholarship—the bakla and gay man—through more hei…
Queer Love and Urban Intimacies in Martial Law Manila
This article examines certain representations of Metropolitan Manila and the city’s queer intimacies during Martial Law. In particular, it analyzes Ishmael Bernal’s film Manila By Night (1980) and Jessica Hagedorn’s novel Dogeaters (1990). Released during a time when the Marcoses secured rule through an over-production of their “love team,”and by IMF supported justifications for molding a“beautiful and efficient”Manila,Manila By Night challenges …
Queer Histories and the Global City
This essay reviews three books that center on the globalized city as a key site for unpacking disparate queer cultures. Two of the books discussed make an explicit effort to deterritorialize queer historiography outside the global North. They focus on the everyday experiences of postcolonial subjects in Cape Town and Hong Kong. In a moment of intensified counterterrorism, necropolitical nationalism, and resurgent yet covert forms of empire, both …
Transnational Queer Theory and Unfolding Terrorisms
Review ofTerrorist Assemblages: Homonationalism in Queer Times by Jasbir K. Puar. (Durham: Duke University Press, 2007. Pp. 368. $89.95 cloth, $24.95 paper.)
Melancholic Maladies
Using Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior and R. Zamora Linmark's Rolling the R's, this article argues for the theoretical possibilities produced in moving away from Racial Melancholia as a “strong” hermeneutic to analyzing Asian American subjectivity. By deploying other psychoanalytic frames such as Melanie Klein's notion of envy, and returning to scenes in both works that have been read through melancholia, it explores other idealizations …
