Enduring fears
This paper examines enduring fears and anxieties about ‘Chineseness’ that widely and persistently circulate in the Philippine cultural imaginary. Chinese Filipinos have historically been implicated in a prejudicial politics of recognition within the Philippine postcolonial state, which has attempted to forge a national identity through problematic notions of ethnic and cultural purity. To undermine what Franz Fanon calls the pitfalls of national …

Rethinking, Narrating, Consuming Modern and Contemporary Southeast Asia
As this special issue would not have been possible without the generosity of certain individuals during these most trying times, this modest introduction must necessarily begin with gratitude. My co-editor, Yue Zhang, and I would like to express our sincerest thanks to the tireless and gracious people behind Rupkatha. It is because of their vision and efforts that Rupkatha has become a truly global journal of interdisciplinary Humanities, a home …

And beyond/ Frighted the reign of Chaos and old Night”
The history of the present is replete with the language of crisis, which has infiltrated various domains including the political, economic, social, environmental, and moral. Those various proclamations of collapse and disaster intersect somewhat in yet another crisis that we have become all too familiar with: the Humanities crisis. We are regularly reminded, and with intensifying pleas of urgency, that the Humanities are in peril. While various c…
Masculinity in the Age of (Philippine) Populism
Recently, the resurrection of authoritarian tendencies in the form of populist movements has conscripted the fascistic aesthetic for its purposes. The rise of populism coincides with the rise of the digital world with its rapid mobility of images and text. Consequently, this has offered an effective platform for the dissemination of a new populist aesthetic. In a specific Philippine post-colonial context, how might we reflect and look at the aest…
Hybridities and awkward constructions in Philippine locavorism
In the last six years, there has been an emergence of food retail establishments that claim to advocate and practice locavorism in Manila, capital of the Philippines. Based on three years of field research and new media analysis, we observed that the Manila adaptation of locavorism has striking similarities to and notable differences from its Western cognates, manifesting as complex amalgamations of local-global discourses and materialities. We e…
Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me”
This essay reflects on the connection between the Humanities and democracy with the aim of formulating an alternative critique that does not confuse democracy with nor concedes it to oligarchy, that does not exclusively reside in academic culture, and that does not elide cultural difference and translation. While agreeing with Martha Nussbaum that there should be strong ties between humanistic inquiry and democratic sensibilities, this essay conc…
The Political Subject Is a Lover Not a Fighter

Unhappy Consciousness
Dominant approaches to the study of happiness have primarily tended to be oriented towards the maximization of happiness. This drive toward maximization has entailed looking for ways to quantify and consequently measure the levels of happiness in individuals as well as in social groups. This paper, which represents an initial inquiry into the critical study of happiness, insists on the irreducible and finally profoundly subjective dimension of ha…
Religion as False Resolution
Of [Crusoe’s] prayers and the like we take no account, since they are a source of pleasure to him, and he looks upon them as so much recreation. —Karl Marx, Das KapitalWhile more recent critics mig
Freud’s Imaginative Work
This essay tracks and maps out the ideas that informed the writing of Sigmund Freud's final opus, the highly speculative and putatively historical text Moses and Monotheism. Contrary to interpretations of Moses and Monotheism as a work that critiques Jewishness as it outlines Freud's theories on culture and religion, this essay suggests that Freud, in fact, attempts to defend Judaism by isolating what he believes is its quality that attracts hate…
