Mettra, Pierre. "Le riz et l'argent : manifestations du changement social dans la Cordillère philippine." Thesis, Paris, EHESS, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020EHES0174.
Full textIfugao province, in the Philippine Cordilleras, is an arena where symbolic confrontations clearly appear in rice-farming. Social interactions that were centered around the rice production and consumption are shifting towards another carrier of value: money. This thesis explores this shift, putting forward an ethnography of social change that gives room to individual initiatives and debates, and take into account the everyday actions of the members of Ifugao society, who are everything but passive viewers of world mutations.This book seeks to understand what it describes as the uncertainty of actors about what their society is and about how it may reproduce in a context of rapidly changing social norms. The inquiry about norms, and the way they are performed or reshaped, is tightly connected to an empirical fieldwork. It focuses primarily on the topic of exchange values; the local Ifugao rice varieties (tinawon) are dedicated to interpersonal exchanges, fostering a cycle of social debts and reciprocity that cement the bonds between persons. This crucial role of Tinawon, however, is contested by money, a pure exchange value. The analysis does not consider money as destructive and anti-cultural, but rather as deeply socialized and flooded with lasting representations that used to be attached to rice. This migration of value, a symptom of norm uncertainty, reveals the architecture of social change in Ifugao.These dynamics, however, can be understood only by taking their political dimension into account, in a period extending beyond the limits of the contemporaneous. Thus, the central part of the thesis is dedicated to a historical study, built on archives, looking at the genesis of Philippine nationalism. It sets a comparison between the narrative the latter has created, and the history of the inclusion of the Cordilleras within a political archipelago born from colonial drives. Such an approach aims at avoiding the localist trap of considering Ifugao province as an isolated “here and now”. One must be equally thorough in investigating multi-scaled phenomena when considering the power relationships in present day Ifugao. The concept of scales lay at the core of the third part of this book, in which the analysis attempts to demonstrate how strongly the everyday construction of governance is linked to transversal events that imply diverse geographical and ideological spaces, from municipalities to international networks of Philippine immigration

Choa, Omar. "A geochemical history of Tabon Cave (Palawan, Philippines) : environment, climate, and early modern humans in the Philippine archipelago." Thesis, Paris, Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018MNHN0002/document.
Full textTabon Cave (Palawan, Philippines) is a key prehistoric site in Southeast Asia, one of the few to have yielded Homo sapiens fossils from the Late Pleistocene. Its history remains poorly understood: heavy physical and chemical alterations have greatly complicated its stratigraphy, and contextually isolated archaeological finds hamper the construction of a clear chronology. This study reexamines Tabon Cave using a multi-pronged geosciences approach to explore environment, climate, and early modern human presence in the region. The results reveal a major period in the cave’s history between 40 and 33 ka BP, when drier climates, more open landscapes, and active human use of the cave were briefly spaced by a wet episode that left an extensive, gypsiferous speleothem. Future innovative research approaches spurred by the unique constraints of the site will undoubtedly further highlight the unique scientific and heritage value of Tabon Cave, a window into the earliest odysseys of our species across the archipelagos of Southeast Asia
Coo, Stéphanie Marie R. "Clothing and the colonial culture of appearances in nineteenth century Spanish Philippines (1820-1896)." Thesis, Nice, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014NICE2028/document.
Full textThe purpose of this research is to reconstruct the clothing culture of 19th century Spanish Philippines and to discover the importance of dress in Philippine colonial society. This study explores the unique and complex interplay of clothing and appearance with race, class and culture in the context of the social, cultural and economic changes that took place between 1820 and 1896. The objective is to recreate an impression of colonial life by turning to clothes to provide insights on a wide range of race, class, gender and economic issues. For the first time, this uses the study of clothing to understand the socio-cultural and economic changes that took place in 19th century Philippine colonial society. The different racial and social groups of the Philippines under Spanish colonization were analyzed in light of their clothing. This locates the study of Philippine clothing practices in the context of a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural colonial society. After centuries of colonization, 19th century Philippines was – and continues to be- an amalgam of indigenous, Western and Chinese cultures. This study of clothing practices as an element of colonial life points to a broader study of cultural interactions, colonial lifestyles, human relations and social behavior. Clothing and appearance were analyzed to understand the ethnic, social and gender hierarchies of that period. This work crosses the frontiers between the disciplines of Philippine studies, colonial history and costume studies

Lacson, Katherine. "Images in print : the Manileña in periodicals (1898-1938)." Thesis, Université Côte d'Azur (ComUE), 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017AZUR2016/document.
Full textThis study hopes to provide the evolving story of the Manileña image through the usage of text and iconography found in print media available in Manila from 1898-1938. Through this process, the narrative of the continuities and changes of the images and representations of the Manileña that were created and portrayed in the periodicals may be seen and understood. This study also seeks to examine the various issues, perspectives and concerns that cropped up due to the changes that occurred. There is a need to understand how media reproduce and socially construct gender. This research hopes to find out the implications of visual culture and its impact on a gendered image in the face of modernity and urbanization. The study will interrogate the intersection of history, gender, media, modernity and urbanization as it plays in the realms of the public sphere, the private sphere and the unnamed realms in between. The study will hopefully add to the understanding of image formation in a colonial context undergoing rapid modernity and urbanization

Full textThis thesis deals with the Mangyan Patag of the Philippines, society of some 15 000 people, speaking the minangyan language. The approach chosen to understand this society, in which descent groups and marriage alliance are absent, is the analysis of rituals which articulate and renew space and relationships, both understood as being socio-cosmic. The work of the human beings consists in feeding rice to their dead and ancestors who hold the authority and give abundance; this interdependence is explicit for the agrarian rituals and the death rituals. The relations between the different beings - humans, malevolent spirits and ancestors ('āpu) - are animated by rituals. From the differentiation of these relations, as welle as from the particular place of rice the basic principles are drawn, that organize the social relations and define the local group around the opposition of siblings and married couples. This society is also constituted by beings in relation to soil and locality

Full textBakgrund: Mer än 70 miljoner personer har drabbats av Humant immunbristvirus (HIV) sedan epidemin startade och sjukdomen är idag fortfarande ett globalt hälsoproblem. I Filippinerna lever cirka 42 tusen personer med HIV och därför har sjuksköterskor och annan sjukvårdspersonal en viktig roll i patienternas liv när det gäller att möta och vårda dessa patienter. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva Filippinska sjuksköterskors upplevelse av att vårda patienter med HIV. Metod: För att genomföra studien användes en kvalitativ metod där data samlades in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med fem Filippinska sjuksköterskor på ett sjukhus i Baguio. Intervjuerna analyserades med hjälp av kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Resultatet i studien inkluderar två huvudteman. I det första temat: relationen mellan sjuksköterskan och patienten, beskrivs vikten av att skapa en relation med sina patienter. För att skapa en relation bör sjuksköterskan lära känna patienten, skapa tillit och ge personcentrerad vård. Hinder och svårigheter i processen att skapa en förtroendefull relation med sin patient tas även upp i detta tema. I det andra temat beskrivs viktiga aspekter som sjuksköterskorna bör ha i åtanke när de träffar och vårdar patienter med HIV. Diskussion: Resultatet från intervjuerna i studien diskuterades i relation till relevant litteratur och Travelbee’s teori. Fokus i diskussionen var relationen mellan sjuksköterskan och patienten samt viktiga aspekter vid vårdande av HIV patienter.

Full textOur thesis proposes the study of the social, economic and political dynamics induced by the development of aquaculture and the emergence of new entrepreneurs in the Pampagna province of the Philippines. The objective is to show the conditions in which this entrepreneurship has been set up, its impact on society and inversely the manner in which society has formed entrepreurial has been set up, iots impact on society and inversely the manner in which society has formes entrepreneurial activities. The work stems from the theory that the construction of aquacultural entrepreneurship rests, in its diversity, on the entanglement of different logics: economic, social, political and symbolic at local, regional and national levels. First of all the thesis questions the innovative and at the same time risky nature of aquaculture which conditions entrepreneurial construction and social transformation in rural society. Afterwards by exmining the conditions of access to the resources necessary for aquaculture, the work underlines social embeddedness of entrepreneurial practices in social rules, in strongly personalised bilateral relationships, in the social network that the entrepreneurs build up and maintain both in the aquaculture complex and within local society. Finally this study shows that aquacultural entrepreneurs are also the actors of political and social change, able to act and influence decisions and political actions. The analysis of the different symbolic strategies shows the way in which the entrepreneurs build up and maintain their power within the local society and thus reinforce their ventures

Full textWe conducted a survey in four slums in metro Manila (Philippines) to evaluate the impact and sustainability of a community based health and nutrition program. Economic, demographic and health data were gathered from a random sample of 1888 households. Anthropometric measurements were collected from 2077 preschool children belonging to the sample households. Various rapid appraisal techniques were also used to analyze the communities' perception of their problems. Findings show that nutritional status is determined by the child's age, birth rank and weight at birth. Nutritional status of preschool children and the traditional indicators of poverty are at best weakly related. We also discuss why community participation is not an appropriate strategy to sustain impact on nutritional or health status of urban populations. We conclude that nutrition interventions should concentrate on case finding, nutritional rehabilitation and prenatal care. Health agencies should not disperse themselves in poverty alleviation or efforts to tap community resources

Full textThis doctoral dissertation is a historical study on the malayization of the Southern Philippines, in a long term perspective, from the 15th to the 19th century. It focuses on the way by which the islamization influenced culturally and socially the Southern Philippines in the context of the emergence and the growth of two modem political entities : the sultanates of Sulu and Maguindanao. Based on the exploitation of indigenous texts -historical narratives and codes -the study demonstrates the use that can be made of these sources in the reconstruction of the history of the sultanates. It gives a chronological overview of the way the different political entities organized and developed in their ecological envirorunent, from the coastal areas to the hinterland. Then it considers the legislative framework and the mythical foundations of royal power to evaluate the degree of malayization ofthe elite. The study finally provides an explanation for the contemporary situation of the Southem Philippines where the Malay cultural heritage is hardly noticeable
