- Title
Inangbayan, the mother-nation, in Lino Brocka's Bayan Ko: Kapit Sa Patalim and Orapronobis.
- Authors
Tolentino, Roland B.
- Abstract
The article presents an analysis of two of Filipino filmmaker Lino Brocka's social drama films "Bayan Ko: Kapit sa Patalim/My Country: Gripping the Knife's Edge" and "Orapronobis/Fight for Us," in relation to their historical and popular representations of the mother-nation. The article also attempts to foreground some issues in a dialogue between nationalism and feminist thought, a dialectics central to the engendering of the motherland and nationalism. It starts with a brief discussion of the sublime, suggesting that the concept is both vital and limited when applied to a Philippine context.
