Further Back Than What We Thought: Reinterpreting the Attitude behind the Concept of “Colonial Mentality” as a Significant Political and Economic Mechanism Dating Back to Pre-Colonial Philippines

The paper argues that colonial mentality is not a result of the American occupation of the Philippines but the attitude behind this concept dates back further in time and is caused by the political and economic mechanisms prevalent in pre-colonial Philippines as affected also by the country's geography. This is also to note that the mentality is or was not solely a negative attitude but had social significance.

Papa Jack and the Psychologist: Rethinking Social Science Perspectives and Approaches

The following paper is a reflection and reaction to the social science perspectives and approaches used in the Philippines. Through its review of literature which basically summarizes the readings in the PS 202 class, the paper discusses the models commonly used in the Philippine Studies as well as the social sciences. Using the theoretical framework and methodology of Odine de Guzman, the paper then does a reading of Love Radio's DJ Papa Jack's quotes and style on air in giving advice. A comparison is then made with psychology and guidance counselling methods as the representative of the social sciences. The reading and comparison became the basis of the arguments of this paper which tackled three areas of reconsideration. First is the relationship of the social scientists to their subject; second is the application of foreign frameworks in our context; and third is the scope of research in the Philippines. As final arguments, this paper insists on adapting social science tools by opening more to the public and doing more fieldwork to contextualize the theories and methods more to the reality of the subject. In doing so, there is also the need to reconsider the idea of research in the Philippines.

This paper is a take home examination paper during the author's second sem in MA degree. Please cite properly when used as a reference.

Marking Bodies, Tattooing Identities: Comparative Study on the Traditional Tattoos of the Kalinga, northern Luzon, Philippines and the Atayal of Taiwan (2015). Slovak Ethnology Journal, Vol. 4(62), pp. 473-504.

With combined methods of anthropological fieldwork and use of various sources (historical documents, archival photographs, and oral narratives), this exploratory paper is a comparative study of the practice of traditional tattooing between the in- digenous groups in Kalinga, north Luzon Philippines, and the Atayal of Taiwan. Findings show that the two groups share the same cultural characteristics in terms of the rationale for getting tattoos, the methods, designs and others. But the differ- ence in historical experiences between the two also determined the trajectories of tattooing practice in the contemporary context, the Kalinga with its revival and the Atayal on the decline.

Afterlives of Dean C. Worcester's Colonial Photographs: Visualizing Igorot Material Culture, from Archives to Anthropological Fieldwork in Northern Luzon (2016), Visual Anthropology, 29:1, pp. 54-80.

Dean C. Worcester, an American colonial official, journeyed through northern Luzon in the early 1900s, recording the people’s appearance, customs and material culture. His photographs had a profound impact on scientific activities in the Philippines, fostering an implicit theme of the unreadiness of the Filipinos for independence. While the photographs also reflect the paradigm of social evolutionism, I argue that they provide substantial visual evidence of the Igorots’ way of life, and can be used effectively in photo-elucidation today. This reveals deeper meanings of Igorot material culture through local narratives, meaningful analysis and closer examination.

Ancient Ink: The Archaeology of Tattooing

The desire to alter and adorn the human body is universal. While specific forms of body decoration, and the underlying motivations, vary according to region, culture, and era, all human societies have engaged in practices designed to augment and enhance their natural appearance. Tattooing, the process of inserting pigment into the skin to create permanent designs and patterns, appears on human mummies by 3200 BCE and was practiced by ancient cultures throughout the world.

"Ancient Ink," the first book dedicated to the archaeological study of tattooing, presents new research from across the globe examining tattooed human remains, tattoo tools, and ancient art. It contributes to our understanding of the antiquity, durability, and significance of tattooing and human body decoration and illuminates how different societies have used their skin to construct their identities. Ancient Ink connects ancient body art traditions to modern culture through Indigenous communities and the work of contemporary tattoo artists.

The contributors are Orlando V. Abinion, Analyn Salvador-Amores, Gemma Angel, Ronald G. Beckett, Tara Nicole Clark, Colin Dale, Aaron Deter-Wolf, Renée Friedman, Louise Furey, Lars Krutak, Svetlana Pankova, Dario Piombino-Mascali, Luc Renaut, Benoît Robitaille, Dong Hoon Shin, Isaac Walters, Leonid Yablonsky, and Petar N. Zidarov.
