Pison explained that Tatcho鈥檚 work covers 鈥渋mages of the burial and explains how these constituted, together with other writings, the 鈥榩ostmortem career鈥 of the former president.鈥
She added that the study illuminates the intersections of history, memory, remembrance, and politics.
The second article by Alterado, et. al., 鈥渆laborates on the scaffolding of the Ilokanos鈥 sense of good life embedded in the nakem philosophy,鈥 Pison wrote. She added that 鈥淎 constellation of concepts and values related to nakem is unpacked in the process of showing the readers the importance of appreciating the Iloko language as source of knowledge of the region鈥檚 cultural life.鈥
Meanwhile, the third article looks at disstrakan or the exchange of diss tracks among rappers. Martija explained, 鈥淎ng papel na ito鈥檡 susuri sa nilalaman ng mga diss track na nailabas sa panahon ng kanilang tunggalian. Susuriin sa isasagawang saliksik ang mga pangkalahatang tema at diskursibong istratehiyang ginamit ng bawat kampong kalahok. Gayundin, ang implikasyon nito sa pagiit ng awtentisidad at inaasam na respeto sa komunidad ng mga hip-hop kung saan sentral nga ang gampanin ng paglahok sa 鈥榙isstrakan鈥 bilang espasyo ng verbal na duwelo.鈥
Quintos鈥檚 research, Pison explained, 鈥渋llustrates a way of engaging with contesting discourses, myths, and false assumptions about Mindanao and Sulu.鈥 Furthermore, as Quintos wrote in his abstract, 鈥淚minumungkahi ng sanaysay na ito ang paggalugad sa iba鈥檛 ibang paraan kung papaanong ang dalumat ng 鈥榢risis鈥 at 鈥榢ritika鈥 ay maaaring gamitin sa pagsisiyasat sa mga usapin sa Mindanaw at Sulu.鈥
The research of Arcega and company, meanwhile, holds that architectural structures are carriers of particular ideologies and identities.
鈥淭he study investigates the aesthetics and milieu that produced three heritage houses in the Malolos Historic Town Center,鈥 Pison wrote in her editor鈥檚 note.
鈥淚dentity is likewise embedded in forms of narrative such as fiction,鈥 Pison wrote in describing the work of Arash Rahmani and Amir Ali Nojoumian.
According to the authors, their paper 鈥渁rgues that post-9/11 narratives by writers of the Iranian diaspora assign a new meaning to 9/11 and reconstitute the identity of their ethnic collectivity around this event.鈥
The last article was that of Escudero and Calvo.
鈥淭his essay analyzes the relations of gender and culture portrayed in the media surrounding Argentine women鈥檚 football,鈥 the authors wrote in their abstract. Pison explained the study provides readers with a 鈥渟ubstantial historical and cultural context to comprehend the intersection of sports and national identity in Argentina, thus contributing to the growing interest of scholars in sports as part of studies on gender and nationhood.鈥
Aside from the articles, the journal also features John E. Barrios鈥 review Pagtumba ng Patriarkiya sa Short Film na Dogeaters ni Kevin Piamonte.
