Inventing vernacular speech-acts: Articulating Filipino self-determination in the United States
Article Abstract:
The practice of speaking the vernacular tongues of Filipinos is haunted by an interdiction from the time Filipinos arrived in the US as colonial wards or subaltern subjects in the first decade of the twentieth century. With the competence in English as the legal and ideological passport for entry of Filipinos into the continental US as pensionados and contract laborers, the native vernaculars suffered virtual extinction in the public sphere.

The new world order and the possibility of change: A critical analysis of Hardt and Negri's multitude
Article Abstract:
Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri insist that the genuine politics must be separate from sovereignty and people must reclaim politics as an act of socialization, as an opportunity for confrontation, communication, and dialogue. They remind us of a powerful lesson of history that democratic rights and freedoms are not given to people by governments but are won by their collective efforts.

In defense of the dialectic: A response of Antonio Negri
Article Abstract:
The subversion of politics begins by changing the assumptions and includes a restructuring of ideological categories that prefigure praxis. If freedom is to mean anything, it begins with the subordination of production to human needs, not the subsumption of life under production.
