Sir Vince

• malalim ang tinatangka
• different walks: cat walks, walking tourism, walking as art

The period tackled is long. Why did you choose the scenes and episodes included in the essay?

• showing vs telling: you were told not shown
• four oclock flowers (exposition) where time expanded

What is the temporal vantage point where you are telling the story?

• telling it from the present

Page 77, line 15-20.

• Believability
• Ngayon mo lang narealize yan?

Image text relations

• why are these the images used and why put them
• indexicality and referentiality

Form

• meandering structure
• it reads like an academic essay right now
• the theoretical part thickens but makes it very intellectual
• try problematique

Autoethnography is very focused on the self

• Gramsci “interegnum”
• it can be used to connect/traverse the socio-political
• if the personal has interegnum then perhaps even the social?

Audience

• ethical dimensions of publishing: are we ready to accept the implications?

Why is this essay urgent? Why are they

• Why include these elements
• Why tell it to people who might not need it.

Sir Allan

Use techniques in fiction (point of view).

• Not a work about walking
• It was an essay about essays about waking.
• Bring us to the walk.
• Make it joyful.
• Use “streams of consciousness”: play with the point of view. It doesn’t have to be the I always talking.
• Totoong-totoo (ang totoo lang yung mga bulaklak); even photos not that true
• Fiction: setting, pagbubuo sa landscape
• Obligatory scenes: show the pastor inside the KH. Scene inside KH. Or describe how you go to the houses; scenes with sound bytes (dialogues: learn from dula)

Maam Gen

• Narration, dialogue
• It is a griefwork
• Check: Teju Cole, A Month in Shina (Ishnamatar): one painting per day contemplate (?)

Luna

• Physicalize your process
• Walking is male (Teodora Alonzo was walked but used to limit her gender)
• Urbana and Feliza (how women walk)
• Take advantage of your history with the deaf (emphasize); nonverbal ang paglalakad
• Jamie Abad: walking made her a great psychiatrist because she saw the death march (use sequences); not necessarily yourself (avoid navel gazing); use the others
• Lack of inspirational writing on questions of faith: honest, no pretention
• Bicycle and walking (dumadaan): nakikita mo people: the photos, the relics are lives

Walking studies are geared towards gender Anthology on religious poetry Salonga

Ellie

• wag mong irevise
• walking can be used in anthropology
• method not an issue
• no problem definition of liminality
• liminality is vulnerable, implied but not felt, uncertainty lang ang obvious ++
• baka nga hindi kailangang tawaging liminality
• ”portable identities” - while walking, throw it
• Identities that dont require rootedness
• there is no such things as individual (dividual) - manananggal culture; you are everywhere and anywhere
• ”liminal walking”
• Self: the idea of teh Self is always relational (where are the others in that Self?)
• Wala ka man lang taong na-encounter?
• Ox and Cats
• ethnography is that ethnographic encounter (not the field): the text encountered is the text → the encounter changed you as a researcher
• do not use the word auto;
• beware of those debates and the traps: dahil alam mo yung genre, kaya mong lagpasan

Hunny

• Declarative pronouncments of an abled body and cisgendered man. Owes it to the audience to explain.
• fatigue and heat are interwined
• walking in which climate? (consider)
• women can’t walk for hours and even feel relax
• women can’t walk in the night
• how about transpeople, and migrants, racial anxieties?
• walking in safe space
• ”just give acknowledgement”
• connect the work
• how to do it? not sure.

Alvin

• critical theory has become a philosophy
• we find critical theory not in philosophy (change religion)
• Marcel Proust “Remembrance of Things Past”
• Four Oclock flowers
• Rewalking baguio (favorite)
• this can be intro chapter
• next chapters zero in
• difficult comment because it is a healing thing
• ”processual identity” (not need the old and self): portable nalang; no need to decide between the old and new (no need to be certain)

Allan

• old self and new self is residue of being a JW

Junley

• Louisa’s Cafe sa baguio (journalists and writers)
• legacy of Baguio to me
• Baguio is inspired by flaneur
• ”Walking the Wound” poem ni Sir
• interogate legacy that Baguio left you
• find a publisher willing to publish this
• keep it as extensive footnotes
• maximize and optimize details
• methodology with discernment
• lexicon of walking in Pangasinan that could inform your method
• writing to discover a voice; it is performative
• this is where you’ll find the self later
• write about the self in a way to extend to others, communal

Martin

• walking is the subject of the research
• but walking
• what is more exciting is the walks that havent happened yet
• mahirap yung pagbabalik sa tapos na
• this is just a background of the study for the walks that will take place
• walking as creating encounters (not looking back)
• theatre games
• even in forms that tend to be reflective, what other research methods can we appropriate
• the data will create the form
• Focus on future walks
• walk na may audio recorder
• if my encounter results to relationships ok na yan kahit wala nang product

Elio

• sad

i feel like i walked with all of you. biggest lesson: the walk although solitary shouldnt not be a self-centered endeavor cite anecdote during the walk I appreciate how you held my story. you put me in limen but also strengthened my identity. i will do my best to make justice to all the words you prepared for me.

stop might cry
