The focus of my analysis is admittedly narrow: in addition to a discussion about the history and stakes behind the study of colonial Philippine literature, theater, and culture more broadly, my analysis concerns itself primarily with arguably the most important colonial romance in Tagalog: the anonymous versification of the popular story of Charlemagne and the Twelve Peers of France (Salita at Buhay nang Doce Pares sa Francia campon nang Emperador Carlo Magno hangang sa ipagkanuló ni Galalong mapatay sa Rocesvalles [The Life and Saga of the Twelve Peers of France, Knights of Emperor Charlemagne, Up to their Betrayal by Ganelon, John D.

Through the mechanisms of translation, Luna and Martí bolster their own authority within a hostile, metropolitan environment. By dictating the terms through which multiple languages engage with each other, Luna and Martí also dictate how different subjects engage with each other. This leads them to make vastly diverging claims about what it means to be a “savage” in the late 19th century.","PeriodicalId":83395,"journal":{"name":"Unitas (Helsinki, Finland : English edition)","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81101040","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}

While pro-Hispanists insisted that Spanish had great historical and symbolic value, this article examines the alternative ways in which Claro M. Recto (1890-1960) and Antonio M. Abad (1894-1970) defended its instruction in the Philippines. As a politician, Recto was well known for having supported the promotion of a common national language based on Tagalog. However, throughout his life, he maintained an intimate tie to the Spanish language, as evident in his recurrent return to his 1917 poem “Elogio del castellano,” in which he elaborated on the global trajectory of the language. Even more so than Recto, Abad was a devoted defender of the dissemination of Spanish in the Philippines. This is apparent through his manuals and lectures on Spanish language pedagogy as well as his attendance at the Third Annual Congress of the Academies of the Spanish Language, which was held in Bogotá, Colombia, in 1960. By first examining Recto’s poems and speeches, and then Abad’s lectures and reports on the state of the Spanish language in the Philippines, this article argues that these two Hispanophone Paula Park Wesleyan University, Connecticut, US","PeriodicalId":83395,"journal":{"name":"Unitas (Helsinki, Finland : English edition)","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82475142","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}
