Popular culture in the time of Greater Nanyang
Cognisant of the multivalent, shifting meanings of “Nanyang” as a spatiotemporal, geopolitical, geo-economic, and cultural unit, this article seeks to flesh out the concept of “Popular Nanyang” by bringing in the contributions of popular culture from the Philippines, Indonesia, and Thailand. Historically, ethnic Chinese played an important role in the creation of “the popular,” albeit often dismissed as commercial or of low cultural value, in the…
Siting Postcoloniality: Critical Perspectives from the East Asian Sinosphere
The contributors to Siting Postcoloniality reevaluate the notion of the postcolonial by focusing on the Sinosphere—the region of East and Southeast Asia that has been significantly shaped by relations with China throughout history. Pointing out that the history of imperialism in China and Southeast Asia is longer and more complex than Euro-American imperialism, the contributors complicate the traditional postcolonial binaries of center-periphery,…
Tales of the unexpected, or the art of border-raiding in a time of uncertainty
Although people live with uncertainty all their lives, only in recent years has critical, sustained attention been paid by the social sciences to how uncertainty figures in — and is arguably central to — attempts to make sense of the world and to act within it. Region-thinking and region-making efforts under the rubric of “Southeast Asia,” “Asia-Pacific,” “East Asia,” “Trans-Pacific,” and “Indo-Pacific” can be seen as attempts to manage the risks…
Transregional Southeast Asia: Perspectives from an Outlier
The Philippines is commonly understood to occupy an anomalous position in Southeast Asian area studies. This essay explores the logic, politics, and logistics of the inclusion and exclusion of the Philippines in or from Southeast Asian studies. Perspectives on and from the Philippines can help rethink and refine concepts of "region" by emphasizing, rather than glossing over, the transregional connections and histories that link the Philippines an…
Did Padre Damaso Rape Pia Alba: Reticence, Revelation, and Revolution in José Rizal’s Novels

The article examines how Rizal employs rhetorical strategies of reticence and revelation along with literary onomastics and allusions in his two novels to create meanings and associ…

Tiger Mother as Ethnopreneur: Amy Chua and the Cultural Politics of Chineseness
Amy Chua catapulted to fame in the United States with the publication of her bestselling World on Fire: How Free Market Democracy Breeds Ethnic Hatred and Global Instability (2002) and a much-discussed Wall Street Journal excerpt from her next book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother (2011). A wry account of a ‘Chinese’ mother's efforts, not all successful, to raise her two daughters to be high-achievers, Tiger Mother created some controversy owing …
Privileging Roots and Routes: Filipino Intellectuals and the Contest over Epistemic Power and Authority
Reynaldo Ileto’s “Orientalism in the Study of Philippine Politics” (1999) highlighted the problematical relationship between colonialism and knowledge production in American scholarship on the Philippines. In recent decades the target of the critique has shifted to Filipino-American and overseas Filipino intellectuals. This article examines the changing intellectual and material contexts in which Philippine-based, often middle-class, intellectual…
Region and Microhistory: Writing the Chinese Diaspora in the Philippines
THIS SPECIAL SECTION OF KRITIKA KULTURA aims to showcase new studies on the Chinese diaspora in the Philippines.In particular, the three articles deal with "regional" forms of transnationalisms, loosely defined as pertaining to those travels-whether educational, personal, political, economic, or even romantic itineraries-between the Philippines and what is now called "East Asia" (Northeast and Southeast Asia).1 By focusing on transnational "Chine…
Daydreaming about Rizal and Tetcho: On Asianism as Network and Fantasy
This article views the historical phenomenon of 'Asianism' through the critical lenses of network and fantasy. A chance encounter in the late 1880s between Jose Rizal and Suehiro Tetcho offers one snapshot of an early link in the 'Asianist' network. The article explains how and why that link gave rise to fantasies about Asianist solidarity on the part of Suehiro as seen particularly in the comic travelogue Oshi no ryoko (1889), but not on the par…

Becoming "Chinese"-But What "Chinese"?-in Southeast Asia
Over the past three decades, it has become "chic" to be "Chinese" or to showcase one's "Chinese" connections in Southeast Asia.
