the performance of property suburban homeownership as a claim to citizenship for filipinos in daly city
Journal of Asian American Studies, 2012Co-Authors: Eric J PidoAbstract:Contrary to the prevailing literature on immigrant homeownership, I argue that the high rate of homeownership amongst Filipinos, coupled with their tendency to live in suburbs, can only be partially explained as an attempt to produce capital and assimilate within American culture. Just as significant are the ways in which Filipinos utilize homeownership as a means of performing citizenship and signaling their belonging in the U.S. nation. Through in-depth interviews of Filipino realtors and their clients in the Californian suburb of Daly City, I describe how various middle-class enactments reflect a larger Cultural Logic used to navigate within the differentiating effect of U.S. citizenship.

the performance of property suburban homeownership as a claim to citizenship for filipinos in daly city
Institute for the Study of Social Change, 2009Co-Authors: Eric J PidoAbstract:Contrary to much of the literature on immigrant homeownership, I argue that the comparatively high rate of homeownership amongst Filipinos, coupled with their tendency to live in suburbs, can only be partially explained as an attempt to create and accumulate capital and assimilate within the dominant fabric of American culture. More often, Filipinos utilize homeownership as a way of performing citizenship and signaling their belonging in the U.S. nation. I argue that the idea of the “America Dream” and the liberal meanings constituting property ownership, produces a Cultural Logic through which Filipinos attempt to claim full-citizenship in the U.S. Through in-depth interviews of Filipino realtors and their clients operating and settling in the Californian suburb of Daly City, I describe how middle-class enactments, such as investments in the American Dream and the production and consumption of status, together reflect strategies that Filipinos utilize in order to navigate within the differentiating effect of U.S. citizenship.

Arab Revolutions: Breaking Fear| The Cultural Logic of Visibility in the Arab Uprisings
International Journal of Communication, 2014Co-Authors: Hatim El-hibriAbstract:The events of the Arab uprisings reveal a new tension in the relationship between media and space. This article situates iconic moments of the uprisings, such as large groups of people gathered inTahrir SquareinEgypt, by examining how they depend on tactics of disinformation, secrecy, and concealment. It compares two examples—footage from the Qasr Al Nil Bridge in Cairo at the beginning of the January 2011 uprising and the politics of anonymity in the case of the outing of Syrian activist Malath Al Aumran—to situate the stakes of public visibility in regimes of spatial control as they intersect with new modes of visual circulation. The article draws conclusions about our understanding of how media structured these events.

the theory of Cultural Logic how individuals combine social intelligence with semiotics to create and maintain Cultural meaning
Cultural Dynamics, 2000Co-Authors: N J EnfieldAbstract:The social world is an ecoLogical complex in which Cultural meanings and knowledges (linguistic and non-linguistic) personally embodied by individuals are intercalibrated via common attention to commonly accessible semiotic structures. This interpersonal ecology bridges realms which are the subject matter of both anthropology and linguistics, allowing the public maintenance of a system of assumptions and counter-assumptions among individuals as to what is mutually known (about), in general and/or in any particular context. The mutual assumption of particular Cultural ideas provides human groups with common premises for predictably convergent inferential processes. This process of people collectively using effectively identical assumptions in interpreting each other's actions—i.e. hypothesizing as to each other's motivations and intentions—may be termed Cultural Logic. This Logic relies on the establishment of stereotypes and other kinds of precedents, catalogued in individuals’ personal libraries, as mode...

the cannibal wave the Cultural Logic of spain s temporality of crisis revolution biopolitics hunger and memory
Journal of Spanish Cultural Studies, 2014Co-Authors: German Labrador MendezAbstract:AbstractThis article analyses how hunger and guillotines, revolution and food, butchers and protests are connected in the Spanish collective imaginary during the current temporality of crisis (2008–2013), with the aim of establishing its Cultural grammar. By examining different representations of the crisis by means of gastronomy – including examples of graffiti and slogans, cooking TV shows and horror movies – I will describe the existing tensions between practices of resistance and collective imaginations of violent political change. I will propose that the social circulation of food and food images is a decisive contributing factor in the symbolic landscape of the crisis, shaping divided political economies according to the role of the citizens, the state or the corporations in control and the management of the collective access to nutritional goods. Pig slaughter versus the supermarket of the gods: two political universes offer their opposing poetic poles. On one side we will find (i) the subaltern lo...
