What is Globalization Impacts on Philippine Culture?
Globalization Impacts on Philippine Culture examines the sociocultural transformations in the Philippines driven by global economic integration, migration, media flows, and neoliberal policies, emphasizing cultural hybridity and glocalization.
This subtopic analyzes effects of globalization on Philippine identity through lenses of postcolonial feminism (Tadiar 2004, 415 citations), labor migration (Fajardo 2011, 92 citations), and spatial economic changes (Kelly 2000, 99 citations). Ethnographies document hybrid practices in tourism (Keyes 1998, 265 citations) and capitalism-spirit world intersections (Aguilar 2017, 179 citations). Over 10 key papers span 1998-2017, with 1,400+ total citations.
Why It Matters
Research informs heritage preservation policies amid remittances from 5 million overseas Filipino workers (Tyner 2008, 88 citations) and global labor circuits (Fajardo 2011). It guides responses to cultural erosion from neoliberal reforms and tourism (Keyes 1998; Kelly 2000). Studies like Tadiar (2004) reveal gendered impacts of sexual economies in the global order, influencing migration and feminist activism in the Philippines.
Key Research Challenges
Measuring Cultural Hybridity
Quantifying hybrid cultural forms from global-local interactions remains difficult due to subjective ethnographic data. Tadiar (2004) highlights postcolonial feminist challenges in framing nationalist responses to globalization. Kelly (2000) notes spatial disparities complicating uniform assessment.
Tracking Migration Remittances
Assessing intangible cultural influences of remittances on local practices lacks longitudinal data. Fajardo (2011) examines Filipino seamen's mobilities but calls for deeper identity impact studies. Tyner (2008) documents 5 million migrants yet underscores gaps in sociocultural tracking.
Neoliberal Policy Ethnographies
Ethnographies struggle to link macroeconomic reforms to micro-level cultural shifts. Aguilar (2017) analyzes sugar haciendas' capitalism-spirit clashes under globalization. Balisacan and Hill (2007) address regional development dynamics needing finer-grained cultural analysis.
