History
Weaving Cultures
The Invention of Colonial Art and Culture in the Philippines, 1565-1850
by Rene B. Javellana, SJ
Description
Weaving Cultures reads the emergence of a unique art and culture in the Philippines during the colonial era from the optic of communications theory and the emerging theoretical discourse from information design. It views colonial exchange not primarily as an exchange of cultural goods, tangible or intangible, but as a negotiation forged by the communication between sender and receiver. A controlling metaphor is that of weaving: where strands of thread, placed at right angles to each other and woven in and out in patterns of skips, create the almost endless variety of textiles. These two meanings of “invention,” as discovering and creating, weave in and out in the discourse of this book.
