| book description |
Archipelagothic: The Gothic in Philippine Culture is an edited collection that brings together essays examining the place of the gothic in Philippine culture. This groundbreaking volume, the first book on the topic, is appropriately comprehensive, covering a range of genres, historical periods, regions, and languages. While the essays in this collection do not reach a consensus regarding the gothic, they all refract the meaning of the term to expand its utility, so that it may properly speak to the Philippines’s longue durée of multiple colonialisms and various regional cultures that coexist under the umbrella of the nation. The various permutations of the gothic within the various regional cultures, languages, colonial histories, and uneven experiences of globalization are what the editor of this volume refers to as instances of “archipelagothic.†All the contributors are recognized experts in their areas of study, and their essays were specifically commissioned for this volume, which includes the gothic in (1) Philippine literature in English, (2) Tagalog literature, (3) regional literature, (4) cinema, (5) TV, and (6) comics and graphic novels. Archipelagothic will be an excellent introductory text as well as a substantial resource to researchers working in the areas of gothic studies, postcolonial literature, and world literature broadly, and global-gothic and the postcolonial gothic, specifically.
