This is done using the views of a selected sample of Filipino-American students enrolled in Filipino and Ilokano language classes at the University of Hawai’i during the Spring Semester of 2009; existing scholarships on the topic; and personal observation of the author. The analysis is done in the context of an “Ilokano” identity which is very much defined to a point that a significant number of Ilokanos see themselves in a position of difference, and not just a mere subset, of the larger “Filipino” identity. This view is now influenced and/or contested by the images which the youth at present encounter through language and culture classes; as well as from the globalization of culture, in which popular and local symbols in the homeland are beamed to them in real time, courtesy of TFC and Pinoy TV, as well as the internet. Furthermore, this is played amidst the backdrop of an academic setting in which the two language programs, i.e. Filipino and Ilokano, are both offered in the University of Hawai’i. The dynamics between these language programs, as well as the effects of globalized forms of new media, is analyzed for their significant impacts on how the Filipino nation is imagined from a distance even by those who have physically left the geographical boundaries of the Philippine archipelago, but who are still part of the larger global Filipino communities emerging from the diaspora.","PeriodicalId":39323,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Social Science Review","volume":"12 1","pages":"1-1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85361671","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This essay aims to provide a remedial theoretical and person-centered interventional scheme which I call frontier governmentality . With respect to existing approaches of Philippine politics and Foucault’s relevant work on subjectivity, frontier governmentality refers to the uncertain state-self contact zone where the arts of governing the self, the others and the state meet. Through an ethnographic biography of Tuguegarao city mayor Delfin Ting, I will argue that the art of caring for the soul is the often neglected but deeper form of human agency which would enable a more comprehensive understanding of Philippine postcolonial state formation. Frontier governmentality calls attention to the soulful agency – the often spiritual working of searching, identifying and caring for the soul to discern one’s fate, as the underlying guide for the postcolonial art of government. In the light of one’s fate, the courage and freedom to renounce the earthly self and attached interests would be instructive for grooming political talents needed to build a stronger Philippine state.","PeriodicalId":39323,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Social Science Review","volume":"32 1","pages":"1-1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85090602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There exists a positive trend of inequality in income and poverty (measured in terms of head-count ratio-HCR) across the states at seven points of time, but there is a sharp increase in inequality in poverty after 1993-94. Since HCR captures only one dimension of poverty viz. income, we measure other non-income dimensions of human deprivations and their inequalities at three points of time: 1980-81, 1990-91 and 2000-2001. The results show a common positive trend of inequality implying increasing regional imbalance over the decades. Keeping in mind the problem of weights and aggregation in estimating Human Poverty Index (HPI) popularized by UNDP, a new multidimensional measure of poverty is suggested. This new measure of poverty is found compatible with the head-count ratio and human poverty index estimated by Planning Commission, India. Cluster Analysis has been applied in a similar context of human deprivation on the major states of India that provides us two distinct clusters in three points of time: 1980-81, 1990-91 and 2000-2001. The results show that Kerala has been a distinctive state in India in all the three points of time.","PeriodicalId":39323,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Social Science Review","volume":"6 1","pages":"1-1"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89981665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Erasga","doi":"10.3860/APSSR.V10I1.1579","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3860/APSSR.V10I1.1579","url":null,"abstract":"Sociological imagination is an open invitation to theorize via the stories we tell ourselves and others. The essay explores how literary narratives mediate social reality and in the process, become genuine and legitimate materials for sociological theorizing. To do so, the paper traces the epistemic affinity of sociology and literature, examines the issues endemic in the field of sociology of literature, and assesses their implications in the search for new directions in sociological theorizing. Using the auto/biographical genre, this essay (1) appraises how storytelling as a discursive art weaves different categories of narratives that describe different layers of experience; and, (2) argues that for theorizing purposes, this type of material should neither be read with purely dramatic nor documentary interests, but in terms of its interpretive affordances. Retelling the story of symbolic interactionism, the essay ends with a challenge to sociological theorizing that is receptive to and facilitative of possibilities for searching the social in the literary.
