Chaos and Order in Lino Brocka’s Insiang (1976)
The Marcos regime’s seizure of culture® and the first couple’s promulgation of “truth, beauty, and goodness” as guiding cultural principles® was more than an act of political repression.

I describe the balikbayan as a transnational figure that gained coherence through U.S. civil reform and i…
We Were War Surplus, Too
This article reads Nick Joaquin's 1983 novel Cave and Shadows alongside his persistent engagement with Filipino identity and history to argue that an investigation of Philippine historiography reveals the colonial entrapments of Filipino subjectivity. A mystery novel set in the period immediately preceding Ferdinand Marcos's 1972 declaration of martial law, it contextualizes Marcos authoritarianism within the scope of post-World War II concerns a…
