These different relationships between human being and Nature are contained- in the two broad opposing rationalities, namely, Speciesism and Environmentalism. An ethnocartography of Barangay Pantalan is constituted in this study using the folk sense of direction and orientation. In addition, the study examines the folk beliefs and practices built around man-made structure, sea, and the flora and the fauna. This study concludes with a discussion of the politics of environmentalism. Human being does not dominate Nature nor Nature dominates human being in this politics of environmentalism. The same politics embodies ethical dimensions which check the drift toward the destruction of the environment.

The JRMP-II is a development project however appears to be a destructive force to the Indigenous Peoples burial grounds. The study uses the interviews conducted with the Tumandok elders as key informants, personnel of offices in-charge of the construction of JRMP- II, identification and mapping of burial grounds, and close reading of international and domestic laws on and protection of sacred sites experiences. This study argues that burial grounds should be seen as a form of resistance to state sponsored development project as supported by international examples of jurisprudence and laws on the protection of sacred sites and the deep sense of conservation of the Indigenous Peoples for their hallowed grounds. This places Indigenous Peoples’ burial grounds in a pivotal role in the perspective of necropolitics as a material evidence of contestation on State policies. This study hopes to expand the notion of necropolitics by including the power to influence by the dead and their burial grounds on the aggressive policies of the state.

    Badinas, Sally Rose; Martinez, Charissa Mae (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2003-03)
    This is a descriptive study of the notions of masculinity in selected Filipino mainstream films from 1982 to 2002. Data was gathered through random selection of 24 Filipino Mainstream films, with 8 films representing every 7 years. At most three characters in each film were studied to arrive at the notions of masculinity in the selected medium. Findings revealed that the notions of masculinity are limited only to the Macho and Typical end of the Masculinity-Femininity Spectrum. As gender analysis was used to analyze the results, the conclusion arrived at stated the narrowness of Filipino male movie themes pointing out to the lack of openness of the Filipino society to alternative behavioral patterns to govern the upbringing of the Filipino man. A critical understanding of the representations of masculinity along the cultural spectrum was suggested to produce a more substantive result in related studies in the future.

    Almio. Doni June V. (Division of Social Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2012-03)
    A research was conducted to identify the citizenships depicted in selected Social Studies textbooks in Iloilo City and compared it with the citizenships found in Russia in Bulgaria.The method used for the study was qualitative content analysis of sixteen social studies textbooks and key informant interview for the process of textbook making. The most dominant body involved in the textbook making process is the state through its agencies. The schools, may it be public, laboratory, or private are subjected to the guidelines of the Department of Education when it comes to selection of textbooks.The researcher identified four classifications of citizenship that are present in the textbooks that were analyzed: Passive Citizenship, Active Citizenship, National Citizenship, and Religious Citizenship. These classifications of citizenship are dependent on the political culture of each country. By identifying the citizenship depicted in the high school social studies textbooks, it will be evident on how the Philippines wants its citizens to be. This is because of the reason that Philippines used the textbooks as state ideological apparatuses to maintain control over its people. Citizenship training is the best way to do that.

    This undergraduate research project is a critical review of UPV-Based Coastal Resource Management (CRM) studies from four significantly diversesources covering a total of fifty two (52) CRM studies.This research aims to identify and to critically analyze the collection of undergraduate projects of Political Science and Economics students of the University of the Philippines in the Visayas, select articles from Danyag: Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences articles, unpublished studies deposited in the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Extension (OVCRE) and the December 2006 Culture and Resource Management issue of Palayag of the Center for West Visayan Studies. The studies were distributed into different categories and subcategories to ensure that they are divided into mutually exclusive and independent groups and so as to avoid overlapping of data. Employing the system of categorization, this critical review analyzes the range of themes and topics tackled in the studies and is intended to determine the development of research methodology, theoretical and conceptual framework, and findings of the studies included in all the categories. The four major categories are: (a) Studies on Decentralized Management, (b) Studies on Natural Resource Governance, (c) Social Dynamics in Coastal Resource Management, and (d) Human Dimensions in Coastal Resource Management. The extensive listings of coastal resource management studies revealed that country’s CRM practices are rooted on participation, collaboration and is geared towards sustainability. A holistic coastal resource management practice should be modeled on the synthesis drawnfrom the knowledge, skills and past experiences from both governmental and local efforts to the management of coastal resources.
