A nation on the line: Call centres as postcolonial predicaments in the Philippines by Jan M. Padios
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Pacific Affairs. - 0030-851X. ; 93:2
-
Recension (refereegranskat)abstract
- Recent years have seen a sizeable increase in the number of studies dealing with call centre communication, both in the United States and overseas. The approach to such studies has varied greatly, from the technological and managerial to the linguistic and sociological, although a typical flaw of many studies has been the failure to connect with the frontline of research in their disciplines, not least in the social sciences and humanities. That, however, is not a failing of this engaging and well-written study by Jan M. Padios, a US-based scholar of Philippine heritage. Her multi-disciplinary approach in this study utilizes the methodologies of anthropology and ethnography, as well as insights from gender studies and postcolonial theory, in delivering a theoretically rich and multi-layered volume on international call centres in the Philippines.

Understanding fluctuations in Sino-Japanese relations : To politicize or to de-politicize the China issue in the Japanese diet
- 2010
-
Ingår i: Pacific Affairs. - 0030-851X. ; 83:4, s. 719-739
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- From the late 1990s to the late 2000s, scholarly literature and media analysis shifted from representing the Sino-Japanese relationship as generally “good,” to portraying it as generally “bad,” and then back to describing it as generally “good” again. This article aims to make sense of what could thus be construed as fluctuations in Sino-Japanese relations and Japan's China policy, through employing discourse analysis as foreign policy theory. The aim is operationalized by analyzing Japanese China discourse as it has played out in the Diet. The article demonstrates that there is a fault line between a “radical representation,” epitomizing further politicization of a prevalent Japanese sense of insecurity about China, and a “moderate representation,” reflecting de-politicization of the same phenomenon. Furthermore, it shows that in the period examined (a) China has come to be discussed more frequently, and (b) a greater variety of aspects of the relationship have reached the political agenda. Together, these two changes have been conducive in altering the relative position of the two representations. In 2008 the moderate representation was still dominant, but less so than in 1999. The main argument of this article is thus that recent fluctuations in Japan's China policy—and by implication Sino-Japanese relations—can be understood in terms of an increasingly open Japanese China discourse.
