Download or read book Filipino Satire written by Sherill Asis-Gilbas and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-02 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is another compilation of five research articles. The literary materials used are novels of a transnational writer, Merlinda Bobis. Each article employed different approaches, but all focused on identifying the satirical aspects that unravel Filipino culture, beliefs, practices, and traditions. The first article intended to present the Filipino Satire used as an aesthetic expression of needs relative to socio-cultural and political issues and concerns from the Early Philippine Novel in English to the contemporary works of expatriate writers. Defamiliarization and Humor theories, including Social Criticism, are used as the main frameworks of this paper, which are descriptive, analytical, and qualitative. The second article employed Freud and Lacan's Psychoanalyzes particularly on the pleasure and reality principles. Likewise, the cultural and gender studies and semiotics were applied in the treatment of material. This descriptive-qualitative type of analysis employed on the novel highlights how cultural-domestic issues and socio-political problems brought along by poverty. Furthermore, the material used in the third article is Banana Heart Summer. The article sought to describe the novel's theme, tone, structure, and style, as well as the socio-political and cultural aspects using food as primary trope. It also aimed to present the reality frame of the depicted societal problems of the Filipinos in general and those of Bicolanos in particular. The formalist theory was applied in the treatment of material, which is a satire. The defamiliarization theory was employed through devices such as tropes and social realism. The fourth article used formalistic approach in the literary analysis of the elements of fiction, contextual representation of star as the novel's trope, and the societal problems depicted in the novel. It aimed to introduce a paper that may be used in a teaching-learning scenario that evaluates and criticizes, anchored on the philosophical theory of Lacan on psychoanalysis. Finally, the last article asserts that a piece of literature reflects the worldview of its writer, which is the result of personal experiences, basically rooted from culture. Bobis sees her country's need for liberation and search for cultural strength. Her being transnational motivates her to write from her perspective of Philippine culture associated with her personal experiences in another country.

Download or read book The Laughter of My Father written by Carlos Bulosan and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-01 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rich man’s children ate their good food and grew thinner and more peaked. The Bulosans, next door, went on eating their poor and meagre food, laughed, and grew fat. So the rich man sued Father Bulosan for stealing the spirit of his food. And Father paid him in his own coin, while the laughter of the Bulosans and the judge drove the rich man’s family out of the courtroom. The Bulosans lived in Binalonan, in the Philippine province of Pangasinan. But the episodes of Father’s history that his son Carlos retells belong to universal and timeless comedy. No one can remain unmoved by Father’s excursions into politics, cock-fighting, violin-playing, or the concoction of love-potions. Twenty-four such stories make up the rich and funny collection called The Laughter of My Father. “In the winter of 1939, when I was out of work, I went to San Pedro, California, and stood in the rain for hours with hundreds of men and women hoping to get a place at the fish canneries. To forget the monotony of waiting, I started to write the title story. It was finished when I reached the gate, but the cold hours that followed made me forget many things. “In November, 1942, when there was too much pain and tragedy in the world, I found the story in my hat. I sent it to The New Yorker, a magazine I had not read before, and in three weeks a letter came. ‘Tell us some more about the Filipinos,’ it said. I said, ‘Yes, sir.’ “I wrote about everything that I could remember about my town Binalonan, in the province of Pangasinan. I received letters from my countrymen telling me that I wrote about them and their towns. It came to me that in writing the story of my town, I was actually depicting the life of the peasantry in the Philippines. “These stories and 18 others are now gathered in this volume. For the first time the Filipino people are depicted as human beings. I hope you will enjoy reading about them.”—Carlos Bulosan
