- More about Regimes of Contention: Resistance and the Governmentality of Resources in Indigenous Philippines
The article explores the unstable and malleable notion of indigeneity in the Philippines, highlighting how the Philippine state constructs artificial subjectivities that Indigenous peoples must embody to access ancestral resources held by the federal government.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 330 pages
Publication date: 28 January 2022
Publisher: Campus Verlag
The concept of indigeneity in the Philippines is a highly contentious political issue. The majority of individuals residing in the archipelago trace their ancestry back to aboriginal communities, whether they identify as part of a tribal group or not. Those who adopt traditional identities often have little else in common. Consequently, the term "indigenous" remains unstable and malleable, seventy-five years after achieving independence. By drawing upon insights from Tillian and Foucauldian social theory, Regimes sheds light on how the Philippine state, spanning from the 1970s to the present day, constructs artificial subjectivities that Indigenous peoples are compelled to embody in order to access ancestral resources held by the federal government. What emerges is a clear illustration of the intricate entanglement between governmentality and indigeneity in the Philippines.
