Bøger om Filippinerne

På den filippinske ø Panglao ligger et lille stykke Danmark. Icebear hedder baren, Bjarne hedder ejeren. Han er egentlig VVS’er fra Vamdrup ved Kongeåen, far til Dennis, Kenneth og René. For René, hans ældste søn og mulige arving til det filippinske barrige, hedder han kun en ting: Don Bjarno, og han er og bliver et mysterium.Bjarne fra Vamdrup kan tæve rockere og tømme fadølsankre. Han lærer den unge René at score kvinder, og han lærer ham, at man må være kold for at klare sig gennem tilværelsen. Måske er det derfor, han efter skilsmissen fra Renés mor aldrig er til stede; altid på farten, altid lige flyttet ud af en lejlighed, pludselig bosat på Thule-basen og  så, da han bliver træt af skandinavisk middelmådighed, hotelejer på Filippinerne.Da René i 2010 rejser til Filippinerne for at fejre Don Bjarnos 60-års fødselsdag, har de begge flere forliste ægteskaber bag sig. Don Bjarno har giftet sig igen, filippinsk, og det viser sig med årene, at der er også mulighed for giftermål for René. Men er livet med et hotel og filippinsk storfamilie så ukompliceret, som Don Bjarno beretter?Romanen Sjuft af René Fredensborg er en fortælling om en lang rejse fra Sønderjyllands grå tåge til den bagende sol på Filippinerne. Om at blive den far, man havde svoret ikke at være. Det er arbejderklassens våde, men uglamourøse globalisering, en kuldslået roman om at begå sig i verden som en sjuft.

Den ældre forfatter Juan Diego er på vej til Filippinerne, og sammen med ham rejser hans drømme og minder om barndommen og hans tidlige ungdom i Mexico. 14-årige Juan har en 13-årig søster, som hedder Lupe, og hun tror, at hun kan forudse deres fremtid. Og så kan Lupe læse de flestes tanker, og hun kan som regel regne ud, hvad de værste ting, som er hændt en person, er - en evne hun gør flittigt brug af. Lupe kan dog ikke forudse fremtiden med samme nøjagtighed, men det er en frygtelig byrde at tro, man ved, hvad der vil ske i fremtiden – især hvis der vil ske noget, for et menneske man holder af. For hvad vil en 13-årig drive sig selv til at gøre, hvis hun tror, det kan ændre begivenhederne? John Irving vender tilbage med en historie, der centrerer sig omkring de temaer, han har har været elsket og beundret for, siden han i sin tid etablerede sig som forfatter. "Mysteriernes allé" er historien om Juan Diego og om de ting, der hændte ham i hans fortid i Mexico, der pludselig kolliderer med hans fremtid. En aldeles fascinerende roman om skæbne og minder.

D. 1. oktober 1975 stod to af datidens største sværvægtsboksere klar til fight i Manilas ulidelige varme. I det ene ringhjørne stod den forsvarende mester Muhammad Ali, i det andet stod udfordreren Joe Frazier. De to havde været i kamp to gange før med en sejr hver, og i dette tredje og sidste opgør mellem giganterne skulle det så endelig afgøres hvem der kunne gå over historien som den største af dem alle. Men der var mere på spil end håneretten. De to boksere var blevet til symboler på hver sin side i et splittet Amerika, og tonen imellem de to tidligere venner var blevet til en bitter og ondskabsfuld ordveksling.I dette afsnit af podcasten 'Rivalen' skal du høre om en af de største rivaliseringer i boksehistorien, der fik sit helt eget liv udenfor bokseringen og endte i en udmarvende finale i Manila.

Ethnography in the Raw describes the author's encounters with the Philippine family into which he has married, his wife's friends and acquaintances, and their lives in a remote rural village in the rice basin of Luzon, about 130 miles northeast of Manila. The book links detailed descriptions of his Philippine family with cultural practices such as circumcision, marriage and cockfights combined with theoretical musings on the concepts of sacrifice, social exchange, patron-client relations, food, and religious symbolism. It is both anthropological fieldwork 'in the raw,' and an incisive analysis of contemporary Philippine society and culture.

The romance publishing landscape in the Philippines is vast and complex, characterised by entangled industrial players, diverse kinds of texts, and siloed audiences. This Element maps the large, multilayered, and highly productive sector of the Filipino publishing industry. It explores the distinct genre histories of romance fiction in this territory and the social, political and technological contexts that have shaped its development. It also examines the close connections between romance publishing and other media sectors alongside unique reception practices. It takes as a central case study the Filipino romance self-publishing collective #RomanceClass, analysing how they navigate this complex local landscape as well as the broader international marketplace. The majority of scholarship on romance fiction exclusively focuses on the Anglo-American industry. By focusing here on the Philippines, the authors hope to disrupt this phenomenon, and to contribute to a more decentred, rhizomatic approach to understanding this genre world.

Hvad gør en frustreret, og hvordan takler man det?Alle spørgsmål og emner bliver endevendt, og det kommer hurtigt og tydeligt frem, at verden er meget større, end man siger i det daglige, og forskellighederne er tydelige, alt efter om man bor i Filippinerne eller i Danmark. Men hvem kan lære mest af de andre – dem i Danmark eller dem i Filippinerne?En roman med glimt i øjet, plads til smil og til eftertanke.

This book focuses on the legal and procedural problems caused by Chinäs default in the South China Sea Arbitration. Many of these problems arose because in several respects, China departed from the conduct of other defaulting States in cases before the International Court of Justice.The book argues that the Tribunal, confronted with the difficulties of maintaining the balance between two parties in a situation of default, drew on the full range of its powers to ensure that neither China nor the Philippines would suffer from Chinäs default. Further, the book describes the shortcomings of the submissions of putative amicus curiae. It refutes Chinäs questioning of the independence and impartiality of the experts and of the judges. In so doing, it explains the expert opinions and the Tribunal ¿s assessments of the latter in the areas of satellite imagery, coral reef ecology, and navigational safety, while rebutting the half- truths and counter-truths disseminated by Chinese scholars about the proceedings. The book compares Chinäs threats to the independence of the Tribunal to its behavior towards Chinese judges. It places Chinäs accusations of bias against the Tribunal in the context of Chinäs domestic situation, and concludes that the Tribunal, acting independently and impartially, was able to perform the judicial function, despite Chinäs default.

A detailed and fascinating exploration of the 1945 US combined land, naval and air operation to retake Corregidor and the other Japanese-held islands in Manila Bay from a determined and well-entrenched enemy. The islands guarding the entrance to Manila Bay, Luzon, had been seized by the Japanese in May 1942. In February 1945, US forces were back, and closed in on Manila from the north and south against heavy Japanese resistance. A joint US parachute and amphibious assault was planned to capture the largest island Corregidor, using the much-reinforced 503rd PRCT and elements of the 24th Infantry Division and 2nd Engineer Special Brigade. Facing them were over 6,000 Japanese troops recently evacuated from Bataan, where they had been cut off by advancing US forces. General MacArthur desired the island, once a symbol of American defiance, to be liberated with a flourish.This superbly illustrated work examines the ambitious US assault on Corregidor, which witnessed the most dangerous and risky parachute drop in airborne history, and vicious, desperate fighting by the defenders as they sought to prevent American troops from taking the island. It also covers the recapture of other islands defending Manila Bay: El Fraile/Fort Drum, Caballo, and Carabao.

A fascinating re-examination of the battle of Leyte Gulf, the largest naval encounter in history and probably the most decisive naval battle of the entire Pacific War, and one that saw the Imperial Japanese Navy eliminated as an effective fighting force and forced to resort to suicide tactics.Leyte was a huge and complex action, actually consisting of four major battles, each of which are broken down in detail in this book, using original sources. The plans of both sides, and how they dictated the events that followed, are also examined critically.So much of the accepted wisdom of the battle has developed from the many myths that surround it, myths that have become more firmly established over time. In this new study, Pacific War expert Mark Stille examines the key aspects of this complex battle with new and insightful analysis and dismantles the myths surrounding the respective actions and overall performances of the two most important commanders in the battle, and the "lost victory" of the Japanese advance into Leyte Gulf that never happened.
