"Revolutions in Sound": Keynote Duet

Tropical Renditions: Making Musical Scenes in Filipino America
In Tropical Renditions Christine Bacareza Balance examines how the performance and reception of post-World War II Filipino and Filipino American popular music provide crucial tools for composing Filipino identities, publics, and politics. To understand this dynamic, Balance advocates for a "disobedient listening" that reveals how Filipino musicians challenge dominant racialized U.S. imperialist tropes of Filipinos as primitive, childlike, derivat…
Time after Time
In his chapter “Stages: Queers, Punks, and the Utopian Performative” in Cruising Utopia, José Esteban Muñoz models for us what he terms the “productive consumption” of photographer Kevin McCarty’s work. Inspired by Muñoz’s dialogic approach, recognizing that our own being-with him can take place only through his writing, I have structured this essay as a staging of a conversation between his previous recordings (aka writings) and Los Angeles–base…

Dahil Sa Iyo: The performative power of Imelda's song
In “Dahil Sa Iyo: The Performative Power of Imelda's Song,” Christine Bacareza Balance articulates the role of musical performance in the shaping of the “spectacular politics” of the former Philippine first lady. The article argues against depoliticized aesthetic and critical practices that attempt to separate art from politics. Instead, the article suggests that it was the deployment of musical art forms in Marcos’ performance of self that could…
Notorious Kin: Filipino America Re-imagines Andrew Cunanan
Notorious KinFilipino America Re-imagines Andrew Cunanan christine bacareza balance (bio) Dear Regie, I am geared towards calamity, fragile as baby teeth. Shards every hour of a failure to cope with every day. So much wine, I feel like I'm flying to Europe and I hate airplanes. . . .Versace was sucking bacon when he saw me. He tried to smoke his way out of a cordial conversation but I followed him like Magellan. He stretched and his head split, b…
On Drugs: The Production Of Queer Filipino America Through Intimate Acts Of Belonging
With the highest recorded cases of HIV/AIDS among Asian/Pacific Islanders in the United States, queer Filipino Americans register as “toxic subjects” within epidemiological discourse. Yet, at what point do state-sanctioned norms of “abstinence only” and intimacy fail to deal with queer communities' lived practices? In this article, I address the tensions between public health discourse's framing of HIV/AIDS transmission within queer Filipino Amer…
