DANGEROUS LIAISONS: SEXING THE NATION IN NOVELS BY PHILIPPINE WOMEN WRITERS (1993-2006)

by Ruth Jordana Luna Pison


Dangerous Liaisons studies the narrative of the nation as inscribed in the novels written by Philippine women and published from 1993-2006.  Given the  traditional inscription of women in the discourse of nation, the study looks at how women are discursively deployed in the name of the nation and the nation-state.  The study, thus, explores specific issues borne out of the interlocking masculinist discourses on the nation and on women/women’s body/gender.  In exploring these issues, the analysis of the novels show that in gendering the nation as woman (i.e., in using the traditional masculinist woman-as-nation trope), the novels critique the contradictions in the discourse of the Philippine nation.

THE OTHER VIEW Volumes one and two

by Elmer A. Ordonez

The columns are superior specimens of opinion journalism, the language urbane but always lucid. The learned references are always apropos and certain to be appreciated by city dwellers but perhaps out of reach of non-humanities majors. The views are unmistakably Left but they are worded so lightly as to be acceptable to to literate middle-class readers.

ALTER/(N)ATIONS: THE ART OF IMELDA CAJIPE ENDAYA

edited by Flaudette May V. Datuin


In this book, the six essays offer the different readings of women who configure for us the inextricable relationship between the life and art of Imelda Cajipe Endaya. These essays may be read in more than four levels, as Datuin suggests in her introduction. She deftly defines these as “framework, patchwork, artwork, and worldwork.”
