    The politics of indigeneity: The responses of Brgy. Latazon, Laua-an and Brgy. Igsoro, Bugasong in Antique following their response to indigenous identification
    Bobillo, Ariane Joy S.; Labitan, Jo Ann S. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2011-03)
    Brgy. Latazon, Laua-an and Brgy. Igsoro, Bugasong in Antique were found to be indigenous communities in 2008 through a Field-based Investigation conducted by the Philippine National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP). These findings were prompted by a proposed Hydro-power project in both localities that cannot be pursued unless the Commission certifies that the areas involved do not come within ancestral domain. As a response to external identification, changes occurred in community dynamics when Brgy. Latazon accepted the indigenous identity, while Brgy. Igsoro resisted. This study explores the differential responses of the two barangays and the changes that followed. Through structured key-informant interviews, findings revealed that the community’s acceptance or resistance to indigenous identification was due to external ascription and their knowledge of the benefits or disadvantages of the power plant project.

    Performativity and subjectivities: A Foucauldian discourse analysis of Pasaway COVID-19 pandemic
    Azarcon, Cherie Izzy; Guadaña, Zennia Grace (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2022-05)
    This study utilized Foucauldian Discourse Analysis to explore the different constructions of pasaway in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines. Nine street vendors located around Iloilo City who do not have permanent workspaces were interviewed and their answers served as the text for the analysis. The results showed that their constructions were embedded in five wider discourses: 1) Moral Discourse, 2) Cultural Discourse, 3) Spatial and Temporal Discourse, 4) Economic Discourse, and 5) Power Discourse. Embedded within these five discourses are the different action orientations, positionings, practices, and subjectivities that are informed by the varied constructions of street vendors of the discursive object pasaway in the context of the C0V1D-19 pandemic. The findings also showed that the discourses on the discursive object pasaway are context-specific, performative, and consequential. These are all discussed in relation to social change.
