Many of these reports graphically described the typhoons, floods, fires, tremors and the like that all too frequently afflicted rural communities. These descriptions mainly took the form of letters written to the editors of Manila-based newspapers, such as El Comercio, Diario de Manila and La Oceania Española. Who were these correspondents, where were they, what were their concerns and what did they have to say? Looking in depth at the newspaper accounts of one year, 1881, a singly uneventful year in terms of ‘big news’, this article provides a snapshot into rural life and its vicissitudes towards the end of the Spanish colonial era. It also explores how reporting the news began to build a collective consciousness of the Philippines as a nation.KEYWORDS: Disastersmedianational identityPhilippinesSouth East Asia Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 On the threat and prevalence of Moro raiding, see Warren (Citation1985).2 On the life and contribution of José Felipe del Pan, see Lino L.

Mojares","doi":"10.1080/0967828x.2023.2259164","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/0967828x.2023.2259164","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThis essay briefly introduces Bisayan studies as a field of academic research, with a focus on literature and history. It outlines the designation of the Visayas as a distinct region by Spanish colonizers, despite linguistic diversity, and the development over the following centuries of a collective regional identity. It describes a shift in scholarly interests towards local culture and history in the 1970s that saw the creation of regional study centres in the Philippines. Finally, it provides a survey of the current state of the field, suggesting future avenues for research.KEYWORDS: VisayasPhilippinesPhilippinesregional identity Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1 Etymologies range from the seventeenth-century Jesuit Francisco Alcina’s explanation that it comes from the Bisayan saya or sadya and the Sanskrit visaya, ‘pleasure of sense’, suggesting a person or people ‘happy, of fine disposition, fun-loving’, to the theses that the word derives the Sanskrit Vijaya and Malay Wijaya, meaning ‘victory, victorious’; the Peninsular Malay’s sahaya or saya, meaning ‘slave’, which may be the origin of the Maranao and Tausug’s use of Bisaya, meaning ‘slave’ or the territory where slaves are captured. There is also the nebulous connection H. Otley Beyer and Gregorio Zaide draw between the name Bisaya and Sri Vijaya, to support the thesis that the Philippines was once part of this Sumatra-based empire. It is speculated that the word is of Sanskrit origin and means ‘dominion, territory, country’, thus referring to the Visayas as a ‘remnant’ (visaya) of Sri Vijaya, or that it means ‘victorious’ (wijaya), meaning that it is a region successfully subjugated by Sri Vijaya. See Carroll (Citation1960), Baumgartner (Citation1974) and Rausa-Gomez (Citation1967).2 Of the seven major indigenous Philippine languages, three are Bisayan (Cebuano, Hiligaynon and Leyte-Samar).3 In 1898, when the Aguinaldo government had not yet established its presence in the Visayas, leaders in Iloilo took the initiative to form the ‘Federal State of the Visayas’, anticipating the formation of a Federal Republic with three states, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Independent of this move, a draft constitution for the Federal Republic was presented by Mariano Ponce to Aguinaldo in 1898, and in 1899 a group of prominent Filipinos also submitted to the US–Philippine Commission a draft constitution for a ‘Federal Republic of the Philippines’ with eleven regions or states. In 1900, Isabelo de los Reyes also published a proposal for a federal constitution that would divide the country into seven states.4 In a government reorganization in 1971, President Marcos divided the country into administrative regions, dividing the Visayas into Regions VI (Eastern Visayas), VII (Central Visayas), and VIII (Western Visayas). Romblon was joined to Mindoro and Palawan as Region IV, while Masbate became part of the Bicol Region (Region V).5 Of the thre","PeriodicalId":45498,"journal":{"name":"South East Asia Research","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135759647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Mobilizing idol celebrity in queer affective advertising: exploring the impacts of ‘Boys Love’ media and fandom in Thailand","authors":"Thomas Baudinette, Chavalin Svetanant","doi":"10.1080/0967828x.2023.2253723","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/0967828x.2023.2253723","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTRecent years have witnessed an explosion in Thailand of ‘Boys Love (BL)’ media that focus on romantic relationships between men. This article explores one site through which BL media is significantly impacting Thai consumer culture: the world of advertising. In this article, we theorize the rise of BL advertising in Thailand as an instance of queer affective media engagement. Through a case study of an advertising campaign for the confectionary MinMin starring an imaginary idol celebrity couple named KristSingto, we reveal how Thai BL commercials consciously produce a queer affect known as fin, which is central to BL fandom. By evoking nostalgia for BL series via specific semiotic codes, Thai advertisers tie affective responses to staged homoeroticism and consumer culture. The idol celebrities within Thai BL advertising thus do more than simply endorse products, they also bolster consumption among primarily female fans by satisfying desires for (staged) queer romance.KEYWORDS: Boys LoveThailandqueer affectidol celebrityaffective advertising AcknowledgementsThomas Baudinette would like to thank Kwannie Krairit for Thai language assistance and to acknowledge colleagues at the Sydney Southeast Asia Centre for their support and guidance.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Thai naming conventions differ greatly to those of English. Every Thai person possesses a chue len or ‘nickname’ by which they are typically known by friends, family, and (in the case of celebrities) fans. This is followed by a formal personal name, and then a family name. We follow recent conventions in Thai media studies by referring to celebrities by their full names at first instance, preceded by their chue len, and then only by their chue len throughout the remainder of the article. See Baudinette (Citation2023, viii).2 The term ‘shipping’ derives from the English word ‘relationship’ and has been borrowed as a loanword into the Thai language to describe this fannish practice. In Anglophone fandom, the couples which fans produce through their shipping practices are known as ‘ships’.3 Singto ended his contract with GMMTV in 2022 during the writing of this article, whereas Krist remains signed to the company.4 While rao typically translates as ‘we’, it is also utilized in casual contexts among friends to mean ‘I’ (especially among those who wish to avoid gendered first person pronouns such as chan and phom that are conventionally utilized by women and men respectively). Within the context of this utterance, where Singto is clearly indicating that Krist does not belong within this space of fin, rao is best translated as I.5 The scene can be watched with English subtitles at https://youtu.be/8qlm2E0FKvw.6 An extended analysis of this scene and its deployment of BL tropes is regrettably beyond the scope of this article, but Kongpob’s threat to make Arthit his wife uses the derogatory phrase ‘tham mia’ (make [another man] ","PeriodicalId":45498,"journal":{"name":"South East Asia Research","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136314841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
