Description

Since the 1980s, the awareness of an indigenous culture has heightened in the Philippines. Various handicrafts have been rediscovered and promoted as traditional objects by designers, organizations and agencies. Among such handicrafts is pina, which had been associated with colonialism and considered as not genuinely indigenous. This paper examines the process by which pina has been revived as one of the authentic materials and has even been used for the national dress. For this purpose, it is necessary to understand how pin a's association with colonial power was dissolved. Thus we first clarify the historical backgrounds of this material and analyze its revival mechanisms by employing a model of contextual transformation of meanings attached to the object rather than a binary oppositional model or a “movement-of-meaning” model. We argue that in this post-colonial era when the recreation of cultural identity is called on, the old value system is transformed, and that when piña is recontextualized, its multiple potentialities are rediscovered, and thus its revival made possible.
