Positioning positions in the Writing to the Future
The article maps out a political place for positions based on the idea of “writing to the future” or a political wager on the future precisely because of the valences of failure in the present. Using Alain Badiou's idea of truth and the state, and citing the conditions in the Philippines, the academic discourse has shifted from critique of to collaboration with the state. The article then draws from the cultural production of independent digital …
National Bodies and Sexualities
Cet article se penche sur les significations et utilisations politiques du corps et de la sexualite aux Philippines a l'epoque du regime dictatorial de Marcos. Manifestation symbolique du pouvoir ou au contraire de la pauvrete, le corps est instrumentalise au nom du developpement national a travers la division sexuelle du travail, mais egalement a travers l'exploitation sexuelle. L'A. analyse la presentation publique du couple Marcos en l'illustr…
Marcos, Brocka, Bernal, City Films, and the Contestation for Imagery of Nation
The essay maps out the contestation for imagery of nation with the Marcoses on the one hand, and two of the most outstanding filmmakers of the era on the other hand. The Marcoses set out a megalomania of infrastructures and images that echoed the Imeldific vision of “the true, the good, and the beautiful.” I counterpose the major city films of Lino Brocka (Maynila: Sa mga Kuko ng Liwanag) and Ishmael Bernal (Manila by Night) to provide a contest …

Vaginal Economy: Cinema and Sexuality in the
Macho Dancing, the Feminization of Labor, and Neoliberalism in the Philippines
Macho dancing in the gay bars of the Philippines is performed by male heterosexual dancers and is a symptom of the discursive cultural politics of the Philippines in transition from the Marcos dictatorship to today's multinational capitalism. The macho dancer's body can also be read as representing actual shifts in the cultural politics of the Filipino nation-state

Geopolitics of the Visible: Essays on Philippine Film Cultures
An anthology of essays about Philippine cinema which seeks to illuminate issues of transparency of power and power relations. It lays bare the geopolitics of the visible in order to render the almost invisible working operation that makes both visibility and invisibility possible
Transvestites and Transgressions: Panggagayain Philippine Gay Cinema
Philippine cinema has long afforded spectators constructions of queerness not only deviating from Western queer theory but also from other continentally Asian homosexual traditions. Using as my primary text Lino Brocka's 1978 film My Father, My Mother, I examine how indigenous ideas of transsexuality and transgender are not only constructed by alternatively sexual images manufactured and appropriated by the Marcos regime, but how those sexual ima…

Bodies, Letters, Catalogs: Filipinas in Transnational Space
Transnational space keeps the Philippine economy afloat. The top three exports-electronics, garments, and remittances from overseas contract workers-have consistently been reliable sources of foreign exchange, which sustain the economy especially in times of crisis. The Filipina and her body prefigure this space, moving from work in the home to homework outside the home. Filipinas have been integrated into the circuits of transnationalism in vari…
