Book II, titled \u003ci\u003eAmburukay\u003c\/i\u003e, centers on the hilarious character of the old ugly Amburukay who demands payment from Datu Labaw Donggon for the theft of her gold pubic hair. The allusion of a sexual innuendo brings to light the value of keeping a tuos, a customary law on a verbal promise which is sealed with a precious object.

It views colonial exchange not primarily as an exchange of cultural goods, tangible or intangible, but as a negotiation forged by the communication between sender and receiver. In such a process, the cultural good is ineluctably transformed as it leaves the context of the sender and is transferred to the context of the receiver, who may be antipodes of each other—physically, psychologically, and culturally—as was the case of Filipinos and Europeans. Exchanges in the areas of space, the biota, the visual, literary, performative, culinary, and sartorial arts are traced. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow messages are transmitted, decoded, and transformed to create the new reality of colonial art and culture are documented. A controlling metaphor is that of weaving: where strands of thread, placed at right angles to each other and woven in and out in patterns of skips, create the almost endless variety of textiles. Because emerging new cultural expressions involve communication, both sender and receiver interact in the creation of a new culture. Although there may be a power differential between the two, as in the case of colonized culture, unless sender and receiver interact, no communication occurs. Communication becomes a leveler because either side in the cultural dialogue can fail. But then again, failure is not catastrophic because either side has an opportunity to find something exotic, novel, and unexpected, or to create something completely new.

Therefore, from the labyrinth of loose and disorderly papers, which were like a ball of yarn, I began unraveling the threads.

The part concludes with a moving account by his widow Gregoria de Jesus, hitherto unpublished in full, of the events that led to his tragic killing. The second part of the book comprises four essays on the start of the revolution, describing in turn the Katipunan’s initial battle plans, as discussed in the weeks prior to the outbreak; the famed “Cry” of August 1896; the initial skirmish with the Guardia Civil on 26 August; and the first major engagement with Spanish forces on 30 August. This volume looks afresh at historical terrain that is well-trodden yet still passionately contested. Drawing on fresh as well as familiar sources, it seeks to offer a chronicle of events that is as clear, factual, and authoritative as the current “state of the field” allows. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e❗️NOTE❗️:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHIS IS A ❗️PRE-ORDER ITEM❗️PRODUCT WILL BE SHIPPED IN THE END OF AUGUST-SEPTEMBER.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e If you are ordering an item that is currently in stock in the same order, the order will be held until the pre-ordered book or item arrives from the Philippines.

This photo-essay was conceptualized to share the results of the 2009–2012 excavations in the old town of San Juan, Batangas, to a larger audience beyond the community of Philippine archaeologists, archaeology enthusiasts, and supporters. This work documents how our perception of the site changes through the years. Technical site reports produced after an excavation are full of jargon that may not be appreciated by a more general audience. Individual reports on artifact analyses are likewise technical for they are written for archaeologists and better suited for academic journals. Popular reports using nontechnical language such as newspaper reports are infrequent. I hope that this photo-essay is one step to expand the audience of Philippine archaeology and at the same time disseminate the results of an archaeological research through more creative means.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003eAuthor: Grace Barreto-Tesoro\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ePublished 2021\u003cbr\u003e182 pages\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"The Alamat Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45252147118229,"sku":"","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/2146\/8565\/files\/49.jpg?v=1721149169"},{"product_id":"volume-1-philippine-theater-history-and-genres-pre-order","title":"Volume 1: Philippine Theater History and Genres (PRE-ORDER)","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSYNOPSIS: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePhilippine Theater History and Genres\u003c\/em\u003e, the first volume of Nicanor Tiongson’s trilogy of collected theater essays, is composed of two parts.

The first, “Criteria and Considerations in the Evaluation of Philippine Theater,” consists of an essay that proposes four approaches in the analysis of theater performances, the last of which is the use of “kamalayang Pilipino na maka-TAO” as the most important criterion for evaluation; a critique of the sarsuwela Walang Sugat by Severino Reyes, using the four approaches presented in the first essay; and an initial study which tries to define what might be called the “dating” or aesthetics of Philippine theater. The second part, “Reviews of Philippine Theater Performances and Books,” compiles selected reviews of a few books on Philippine theater and many performances of plays staged mostly in the 1970s by the Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA), Babaylan, UP Repertory Company, and others, using the RPN criteria. The third part, “Artists and Groups in Philippine Theater,” anthologizes articles on the life and works of theater enthusiast Juan Atayde, writer-producer-actors Aurelio Tolentino and Atang de la Rama, bodabil singer and actress Katy de la Cruz, and theater designer Salvador F. Bernal, as well as essays on theater groups of the 1970s and 1980s and their productions, like the PETA, Babaylan, UP Repertory Company, Repertory Philippines, Teatro Pilipino, and Bulwagang Gantimpala.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Like Tiongson’s book on the sinakulo in 1975, most essays in this volume use the Filipino language for writing literary history and criticism, analyze the plays not only as dramatic text but especially as mise-en-scene on an actual stage, and, most of all, recognize the importance of traditional plays as part of the national theater. In this period, no other scholar or theater artist or art administrator had the solid and unshakeable faith in Philippine traditional theater forms that Tiongson had . . . Most important, the essays in this trilogy illustrate the primacy of research as the scholar’s contribution and participation in laying the foundation for the full development of our national culture and, with it, the full flowering of our people’s humanity.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— APOLONIO B.

Noli at Fili Dekada 2000 combines and contemporizes Jose Rizal’s classic novels by exposing the social cancer of our time—the greed of those in power that denudes the forests and causes the massive floods that cost thousands in lives and millions in property. Labaw Donggon: Ang Banog ng Sanlibutan allegorizes the Panay Bukidnon epic, interpreting the journey of Labaw Donggon to the three levels of the world as the pursuit of the harmony between all levels of the physical and metaphysical universe as well as the inner faculties of the human being and the workings of all sectors of society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Nicanor G.
