JONATHAN C. MALICSI 
Professor Emeritus
Department of Linguistics
University of the Philippines, Diliman

29 April 1947 - 01 December 2019

It is with a sad heart that we announce the passing of Professor Emeritus Jonathan Malicsi. He was supposed to give the final installment for the 2019 Philippine Indigenous Languages Lecture Series (PILLS), drawing from what he had learned from his major work among the Halitaq Baytan community.

Having served the University and the Department for more than half a century, Prof. Emeritus Malicsi had been the Department's Chair twice, Head of the President's Committee for Culture and the Arts (now OICA) for 17 years, first Convener of the Philippine Linguistics Congress, and a member of the first batch of the UP Madrigal Singers.

A sought-after expert in Philippine linguistics and Philippine culture studies, he had mentored and trained countless students and educators from agencies and institutions both in the Philippines and abroad. Not his ailment nor his blindness could have prevented him from delivering the lecture to impart his knowledge and his love for languages, as well as continuing to teach his regular graduate classes.

The Department of Linguistics is one with Prof. Emeritus Malicsi's colleagues, students, friends, and loved ones in paying tribute to one of the great Filipino linguists, who spent his whole life studying Philippine languages and teaching many more to carry on his work. Paalam at maraming salamat po, Doc M.

----------------------------------------------------
Prof. Emeritus Malicsi was  one of the founding members of UGAT in 1977.

Prof. Emeritus Malicsi's ashes will be at the Church of the Risen Lord, UP Diliman tomorrow (02 December 2019, Monday). Public viewing will start at 10:00PM.

Infringement issue or just plain lack of due diligence

A photo I took of Dr. Erlinda Burton on November 2017 at the 39th UGAT held at Capitol University, Cagayan de Oro was published at NCCA’s Agung Magazine (Volume XXI, Number 3, July-September 2018, page 70).

Apparently, the photo did not bear any credit.  Not a name of the photographer can be seen nor even a citation of the blogspot where this was first published.

I first posted this photo as part of "UGAT 39th Annual Conference - In Photos" on this blogspot on 08 November 2017. The post bear the name of the photographer.

The same photo also appeared in Aghamtao (Journal of the Ugnayang Pang-Aghamtao, Inc. / UGAT, Volume 26, 2018, page 187, obituary section).  The photo in that journal bears the photographer's name.

I had already informed NCCA regarding this through a text message but will also be sending a formal email to NCCA Chair Virgilio Almario.

41st Annual Conference
FOOD (IN)SECURITY:
An International Conference on Anthropology of Food and Eating
07-09 November 2019
Visayas State University, Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines

UGAT cordially invites you to its 41st Annual Conference at the Visayas State University in Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines on 07-09 November 2019. The conference theme is “food (in)security” where food and eating will be interrogated and unpacked in the context of local understandings vis-à-vis global processes in various human conditions and temporalities. While global processes shape and inform foodways and eating habits, anthropology pays attention to myriad and contested ways on how specific contexts understand, interpret and articulate the meanings of food and the practices of eating.

In addressing the theme, the conference offers two keynote addresses, five distinguished lectures, 120 paper presentations, film screening, and other activities. The UGAT conference aims to provide an arena for reflexive and critical discussions on food-related issues, and to foster meaningful and engaged discussions among practitioners of anthropology – whether in academe, development and cultural work, media, art, advocacy, policy and governance, community work, or other forms of social action.

UGAT 41st Annual Conference: Keynote Address

KEYNOTE ADDRESS 
Mythologies, Rebellions, and Hopes: The Indigenous Lumad's Struggle for Self-determination

Prof. Sarah Raymundo 
University of the Philippines, Diliman

The struggle for self-determination of Indigenous Peoples (IP) in the Philippines persists in the face of continued attacks on their rights. In the age of agribusiness, farm-to-market roads, malls, and increased environmental risks, the views of children who are bound to inherit the struggle of their ancestors for ancestral domain are worth documenting and analyzing. In particular, how school children describe how development looks like may not only be indicative of the current conduct of IP struggle. Its very documentation and discussion are persistent in an anthropological project which has made the discipline more inclined than others in the Social Sciences to unpack the "myths' which have been suppressed by colonialism and neoliberalism. Asked how a good life looks like, a group of Lumad school children agreed on a concrete vision: "When our parents no longer need to go to the city and buy our food from the grocery, we know life is good." This is in stark contrast to how most people perceive a good life shaped by a cash economy. Through qualitative research methods, this study aims to put forward the suppressed myths about the IP's construction of the good life. This study mainly argues that recognizing these "myths" as presence in our lives, research projects, and institutions is constitutive of a necessary critique of our monopolized market system and a compelling invitation to conspire with these myths long suppressed to make food sovereignty and respect for ancestral domain sound nothing more than just "myths."

She is engaged in activist work in BAYAN (The New Patriotic Alliance), the International League of Peoples' Struggles. She leads the Committee for International Affairs of the Alliance of Concerned Teachers. She is the Chairperson of the Philippines-Bolivarian Venezuela Friendship Association.

KEYNOTE ADDRESS 
Of Forests and Gods: the biopolitics of (un)making life and livelihood in the Philippine uplands

Dr. Wolfram Dressler
University of Melbourne

Acts of governing upland peoples and landscapes increasingly reflect biopolitical endeavours in the frontiers of Southeast Asia - endeavours that aim to enhance and optimise the possibility of life. Beyond state schemes, actors in civil society fixate on the uplands to govern and discipline indigenous peoples' bodies, beliefs and behaviours in the service of outsider aims. Today, indigenous uplanders negotiate an increasing number of non-state governance practices that aim to reform life and livelihood through sustained discursive and material disciplining. Bridging Foucauldian biopolitics and material studies, in this talk I describe how the intersection of NGO and missionary practices strive to optimise upland life in contrasting yet reinforcing ways by reordering the livelihood practices and food choices of Pala'wan uplanders towards 'modern' ideals and existence. In doing so, I explore how NGOs reify Pala'wan custom and tradition to optimise livelihoods and food preferences for forest conservation, and how Seventh Day Adventists prohibit certain myths, rituals, and associated (customary) foods for locally situated proselytization. I describe how these actors' efforts to condition and discipline Pala'wan bodies, behaviours and diets powerfully intersect, reforming how uplanders reproduce themselves over time and space. I conclude by asserting that indigenous sovereignty over life and livelihood matters now more than ever as biopolitical interventions intensify and manifest in the uplands.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Dr. Wolfram Dressler is an Associate Professor at the University of Melbourne. He works at the intersectionof anthropology, political ecology and agrarian change in Southeast Asia and the Philippines in particular.

41st Annual Conference
FOOD (IN)SECURITY:
An International Conference on Anthropology of Food and Eating
07-09 November 2019
Visayas State University, Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines

Food is an essential means of sustaining human life. Yet despite massive efforts on technological and scientific innovations in intensifying and improving food production and distribution on a global scale, food-related issues such as hunger and famine still beset ‘local’ communities. This precarity is further exacerbated by interlocking issues such as environmental degradation (e.g., massive biodiversity loss), disasters caused by climate change (e.g., prolonged droughts and strong typhoons), weak political institutions (e.g., food aid failures), unsound economic policies (e.g., food prices impact on family hunger), and social inequality, among others. As a consequence, the emergence of counterculture mass movements due to food (in)security, such as slow food movement, locavorism, vegetarianism and veganism, among others, is becoming popular and powerful, irrespective of national boundaries and identities.

There is thus a need to reexamine and rethink how food is produced, circulated, and consumed. Food and eating has to be interrogated and unpacked in the context of local understandings vis-à-vis global processes in various human conditions and temporalities. While global processes shape and inform foodways and eating habits, anthropology pays attention to myriad and contested ways on how specific contexts understand, interpret and articulate the meanings of food and the practices of eating.

This year’s UGAT Annual Conference organizers are accepting papers, panels, and short film/video proposals that consider ‘security’, or lack thereof, as the key frame in understanding themes and issues concerning food and eating. The UGAT conference aims to provide an arena for reflexive and critical discussions on food-related issues, and to foster meaningful and engaged discussions among practitioners of anthropology – whether in academe, development and cultural work, media, art, advocacy, policy and governance, community work, or other forms of social action.

Proposals are welcome to address any of the following topics:

• Global Issues -- authenticity (food identities, heritage, heirloom veggies, agricultural tourism, tourism and gastronomy; security and hunger (insecurity and internal displacement, food sovereignty, impact of climate on food and nutrition, sustainability)
• Ethnographies -- Production (bayanihan farming, innabuyog, fishing, hunting, farming, subsistence vs surplus, seasonality, material culture in preparation, distribution and consumption); Processing(boiling, gata, sugab, kilaw, seasoning (Japanese dashi), kakanin); Distribution(tabu, tiangge, palengke, supermarket, hypermarket, food sharing, gift-giving); Consumption (sociality, manners, food etiquette, structure of the meal, feasting, fasting & famine)
• Economy and Environment -- food trade, trade wars, multinational corporations, plantation economy and agribusiness, food and agriculture, farming systems, livestock, food and the sea; environmental decline, biodiversity loss; more-than-human anthropology (human-animal, human-plant relationships), producing non-food cash crops, overharvesting, genetically-engineered food and transgenics
• Indigenous and Local Knowledge Systems and Practices -- ethnobiology, ethnoscience, endemic food; recipe studies (historical, contemporary, cross-cultural, regional, importance of place)
• Health, Medicine, Nutrition, Food Safety -- diets and fads, child overweight and adult obesity, food as medicine, hidden hunger and malnutrition; hygiene, food science, food education, fake food
• Eating Ideologies and Practices -- organics, vegetarianism, veganism, locavorism, culinary triangle (raw, cooked, rotten), fast food vs slow food, food fallacies, food rituals, food taboos; food and gender: body image, gender roles, gender stratification through food and eating
• Archaeology of Food -- ancient diet, reconstructing diet from human remains, material culture, hunger and famine in archaeological contexts, food cultures in prehistoric societies
• Aesthetics and Sensibilities -- food as art, culinary art; food tourism and gastronomy; prestige food and pride of place, food memories
• Food Rights -- geopolitics, governance and regulation, development goals, land grabbing, displacement, land conversion, dispossession, access to food, household intake and urban poor, food policies
• Communication, Media, Folklore, History -- the language of food; food metaphors; navigating the internet: food porn, emojis, and social media; literature on food, food documentaries and histories
• Non-food Food -- food for the soul, forgetting hunger, pantawid gutom, metaphorical food

Proposals that do not fall under any of the identified topics above will be given consideration.
