Abstract The modernness in Kinaray-a rime †A fill of 15 modern-day Kinaray-a poesys using the concept of Modernity is written to analyze the poetrys in Kinaray-a using the concept of Modernity. This study aims to pile up 15 Contemporary Kinaray-a rimes and examine the discourses of â€Å" modernness” or post contemporaneity as embedded in 15 Contemporary Kinaray-a numberss.These poems argon taken from a book The fig out of Kinaray-a and literary issues. This study concludes that in that location be four study concerns of â€Å" modernness” put in 15 Contemporary Kinaray-a poems. Suprisingly, the poems reveals that this generation has already identified themselves with modernity that the retiring(a) is no longer reach or green panaches in the past slow fades and homespun lands had been attracted to transfer in urban argonas for opportunities and abstain access on facilities. Chapter I Introduction Kinaray-a literature is cognize to have an exciting tradition.The siday, known to be antediluvian Kinaray-a poem perform during the pamalaye or betrothal and luy-a luy-a or spiritual ritual. fit in to Villarreal (1997), siday is a generic term to de n unrivaled to all folks of Panay and Negros. Modern poetry in Kinaray-a are closelyly in bighearted verse. A poem in Kinaray-a is called binalay talk. Binalaybay is famous during fete in various places in Antique curio usly in barangay 3 town of San Jose, roughlyly performed by older folks. Kinaray-a, is a address mostly utilize by Antiquenos.According to â€Å"The Rise of Kinaray-a, a book by Alex C. Delos Santos, Kinaray-a is whizz of the minor languages classified under Austr angiotensin-converting enzymesian/Malayo-Polynesian lineage. It is spoken in all of Antique, from Libertad to Anini-y, parts of Aklan and Capiz, most of Iloilo, and even in Negros Occidental where the great(p)gest number of sakadas, seasonal workers in the haciendas, is Kinaray-a from Antique. It is difficult to trace the origin of Kinaray-a simply old folks says it comes from the root word iraya which center high place where water comes from.In the absence of print, there had been two media with which Kinaray-a literature persisted, with radio and theater. These actually served the transition from purely oral to written literature harmonise to Delos Santos (2003). Other than radio and theater, the unbendabl e outcome of modern technology had a spectacular help among Antiquenos as well as Antiqueno authors. The publication of â€Å"Balita Antiqueno” in Buenavista Cable and the â€Å"Kinaray-a. com” an Antiqueno conjunction website had been a steering for Kinaray-a to fully show their talents as well as poetry.Issues on gender roles, and class races have been used in m both studies tho rare cases on Modernity. Modernity is used as a modeling for this study to prove new concepts in literature, for in Kinaray-a poems modernity is similarly prominent. Statement of the problem This study is sloshedt to analyze Modernity in 15 Contemporary Kinaray-a poems by disparate Antiqueno authors. Objectives of the study This study aims to: 1. gather 15 Contemporary Kinaray-a poems and; 2. examine the discourses of â€Å"modernity” or postmodernity as embedded in 15 Contemporary Kinaray-a poems Signifi slewce of the studyMost passel especially in western hemisphere Visa yas think that Kinaray-a poetry lacks value and that Kinaray-a is just an tyrannical part of literary knowledge base due to the circumstance that â€Å"Kinaray-a writers suffered a form of oppression by the hegemony of Hiligaynon” (Delos Santos 2003). in some manner, this leads to the pin of the interest of Kinaray-a writer to develop their hidden talents. Kinaray-a writers uses Tagalog, side or Hiligaynon quite of using Kinaray-a as a language for their written text to escape from school deal’s view that Kinaray-a as a language is â€Å"buki” or unusual. Modernity reatly influenced young writers right a carriage. â€Å"Students that are products of Universities” (The Rise of Kinaray-a 2003 p. 32). These pupils mostly come from state of matters, barrios/rural lands, that inside their written poems, modernity is highly present. Chapter II Review of Related Literature Dr. Alicia P. Magos wrote The Enduring Maaram: An Ethnography of a Kinaray-a vi llage in Antique (1992), known to be one of the outgrowthly comprehensive studies on an Antiqueno life. And this inspires to bloom the title Maaram: Studies on Antique an anthology of essays and papers on Antique, by Antiquenos, for Antiquenos.A maaram refers to a medicine man (shaman) as an intermediary between the sick and the spirit world. According to Maaram, very little about Antique could be seen in printed materials such as tourist brochures, fiesta souvenir programs, and sketchy legends of each of the 18 towns of the Province. This could be one of the basis that even poems in Kinaray-a is non widely known among other(a) people and that writers in Kinaray-a uses Tagalog, English or even Hiligaynon in piece their poems and a little of them uses Kinaray-a.In the Inaugural Lecture with the estimate â€Å"Textualizing Kinaray-a in the Republic of Letters” held in UPV (2008). Tomasito Talledo says, â€Å"its non necessary to translate Kinaray-a poems into English n all Tagalog or Hiligaynon, and anyone who takes to study the poems but does not know the Kinaray-a language, get out do well by learning it. ” This line of Talledo stresses that Kinaray-a writers tend to escape to their innate language. Modernity is one of the causal agents because indigens or parents from rural lands air their youngsterren in urban schools to have fast access in facilities due to modernity.Kinaray-a literature fro Antiquenos is way through which they could reflect the core group and presence of modernity, that in one way or another(prenominal) being â€Å"modern” is not a choice but a need. Further much(prenominal) most written works of Kinaray-a young writers modernity is reflected for one reason is they have been products of Universities. Talented singles that have been influenced by the norms and culture at heart the urban areas. Moreover, Ma. Milagros G. Lachica is the first Kinaray-a to make headway recognition given by the CCP Literat ure Grants for Poetry in 1989.Her work â€Å"Antike: Lupa kag baybay sa pinggan” (Antique: Land and sea on a plate) spoke of the poetry and kindly ills of the Province. This doesn’t mean she was the first one to write in Kinaray-a. Russell Tordesillas whitethorn have been the first one. He wrote his manuscripts which he read on air in DYKA (radio seat in Antique). Next to win the CCP grant is Alex C. Delos Santos and followed by other Kinaray-a writers. This begins when Lachica and Delos Santos attended the workshop of Hilgaynon writers in UPV because there were no groups of Kinaray-a writers.In Antique, wholly Sumakwelan could be considered but its members frame of Hiligaynon writers. Dr. Leoncio Deriada as the panelist (Professor in UPV and a writer) told Lachica and Delos Santos to try the writing grant and use Kinaray-a in their entry. at that place were no other individuals who could write better the recital of Antique but only the Kinaray-a people and Kina ray-a literature should value most by Antiquenos. A writer has the responsibility in the language he/she uses. Additionally, Kinaray-a writers didn’t have the means to publish but they did a lot of writing too only in Hiligaynon because it was the only way to get published.There is a forged break for individuals to take chance in exercise and appreciate Kinaray-a literature especially those in the academe, if only Kinaray-a writers will use Kinaray-a in their written works. The big problem which Kinaray-a people does not observe, there is little use of Kinaray-a in writing. Among various languages, Antiquenos must cause to use Kinaray-a than use other languages such as Tagalog, English and Hiligaynon, because it is the language they are used to and its chop-chop for them to catch ideas on paper.As for modern poetry, or free verse, Sumakwelan writers suggested the term hilwalaybay for â€Å"hilway nga binalaybay”; hilway means free, according to The Rise of Kinaray -a (2003). only when the Kinaray-a writers did not catch on, and preferred to use binalaybay, whether rhymed or free verse. Most of the poems of Kinaray-a writers are in free verse. Sometimes, the Hiligaynon coinage dilambong, for â€Å"dila nga maambong” (beautiful tongue), is withal being used. Poet crapper Iremil E. Teodoro suggest the use of them dilambong to mean poetry.It points not to the poem itself, but to the art of writing a poem, according to The Rise of Kinaray-a (2003). Chapter III Theoretical Framework Modernity is a shorthand term for modern conjunction or industrial civilization. Portrayed in more detail, it is associated with (1) a certain set of attitudes towards the world, the idea of the world as open to transformation by human intervention (2) a complex economic institutions, especially industrial production and a market thrift (3) a certain range of political institutions, including the nation state and mass democracy.Largely as a import of these characteristics, modernity is vastly more dynamic than any previous type of social order. It is a ball club more technically, a complex of institutions-which unlike any preceding culture lives in the futurity earlier than the past (Gidden 1998, p. 94). In Jurillas analysis, â€Å"Modernity is a goodly cultural construction that usually advances the originator †the West. westerly modernity has always been maintained as the quantity civilization. A someone that is not modern is â€Å"manol” or uncivilized.A person that does not submit to modernitys cultural apparatuses is either a beast or a god. ” Furthermore, Raul Pertierra presents one-third features of modernity: â€Å"the nation-state as the main site of sovereignty, the ungodly gains in science and technology and the rise and blow of culture as a socially conventional activity. Personal identity or individuality is to a fault one distinguished discourse of modernity. For in modernity, norms are su bdued to give way to the sovereign individual who is the source of knowledge and reason.Modernity is simply the sense or the idea that the present is discontinuous with the past that through a process of social and cultural stir life in the present is essentially different from the past. The â€Å"crisis of modernity” is the sense that modernity is a problem, that traditionalistic ways of life have been replaced with uncontrollable sort and unmanageable alternatives. The crisis itself is merely the sense that the present is a transitional point not focused on a clear goal in the afterlife but simply changing through forces removed our control, but this study limit itself to modernity in 15 Contemporary Kinaray-a poems.Chapter IV Methodology To kill this study, the researcher gathered related literatures from books of Antique Provincial Library, and researches from the Internet. Scope and Limitation This study focus only on the 15 Contemporary Kinaray-a poems of differe nt authors taken from the following books and literary issues: Binirayan ’08: Manggad nga Antiqeno, Paranublion kang Filipino Binirayan 2007: close and Arts The Rise of Kinaray-a: History and Anthology of Contemporary Literature in Antique, These poems are: 1. Laragway (Florentina Egida) 2. Halin kay Nanay (Ma. Felicia Flores) 3.Paglatas kang handum ( Ma. Felicia Flores) 4. Iliili kang Manugpatad (Ma. Milagros Geremia-Lachica) 5. Hinugot sa post board (Jose Edison C. Tondares) 6. Strit Ekis (Jose Edison C. Tondares) 7. Sugidanun (Lucena C. Tondares) 8. Sulat (Ma. Milagros Geremia- Lachica) 9. Ang Tumuluon (Genevieve C. Arnaez) 10. Patadyong (Linda Casalan Arnaez) 11. Tag-ururan (Francisco Javier III) 12. Dyoker ay (Ma. Milagros Geremia- Lachica) 13. Sa Kinaray-a (Reymar B. Gallego) 14. Ra Tana! (Stephen Checa) 15. Ang Ginawali sa Atlantic city (Ma. Milagros Geremia-Lachica) Chapter V Analysis and Discussion I.Modernity & the Environment Sometimes, it’s not the land that waits. In many cases, Antiquenos leave because there is no land to speak of, (Delos Santos 2003 p. 49). In cities there are lots of opportunities to grab enchantment in native lands, there is no assurance. Modernity shapes the urban areas through the presence of modern technologies, facilities, etc. In Egida’s poem Laragway”, iconlity’s beauty can no longer be seen. In the first stanza, Pintahan mo ako kang bukid Mga kahoy gapaindis-indis. Pintahan mo ako kang banglid Nga ang kilid bukut it pud-is. Kay daw sa damgo ko lang dya nakita.Most of beautiful views we could see nowadays are almost man made which have a big variation from nature’s beauty of the past which is natural. Nowadays, countrified lands are being transformed into industrial lands in which big infrastructures are built. In the first stanza to the pull through stanza, the persona can only see nature’s beauty only in his dreams. some other poem is â€Å"Tag-ururan†, the rain and fuss’s bear down is compared to sacrifices and sufferings. In the lines, Nagbilin kang danaw ang uran Sa salug makita ang langit Ang luha ni nanay sangka dagat Naga hiribiun para sa atupThe engender precious to escape from poverty, in the lines, San-o ayhan mamara kang adlaw Ang luha kag uran The arrest wanted a more concrete house specifically a better roof to comfort her family when heavy rain comes. II. Modernity & Education Modernity in teaching is also present in Kinaray-a poems. Many have been lured by the city, especially the natives. For in urban areas, their children could betroth in the fast access of facilities and lots of opportunities. Modernity and education gives assurance to natives to have a absolute future. In â€Å"Halin kay Nanay”, Inday felt bad for a decelerate allowance.Most parents at present times sends their children in urban schools, to have a better and secure future, because they swear that it is the only way to lift them up from poverty. Halin kay Nanay is also a form of protest in the lines, Inday, Nagsungon gid ikaw Wara kami dayon kapadara Buhay mabaton ang sulat convert nagbaha ang suba Nautod ang tulay the breakdown of the bridge is one of the causes why Inday’s allowance was delayed. If banks are present in Inday’s place, the mother does not need to wait for the reconstructive memory of the bridge, instead she will deposit in Inday’s account and Inday can get her allowance anytime.The mother sees that technology can in some way help her for a faster way of sending Inday’s allowance. â€Å"Paglatas kang Handum” is another poem which also shows that sending a child in urban schools would mean greener pasture. In the lines, Indi namun ikaw ni Tatay mo pagpunggan Ano man abi ang imo mangin paraabuton rugya sa uma Wara man kami ti inogpanubli kanimo maski sampingas the mother believes that living in a impertinent place is useless or having no fut ure if compared to cities. another(prenominal) poem â€Å"Sulat”, a garner comes from the province had received by a pupil poring over in the city. At the bottom of he letter the words were not clear and it seems there were islands formed in the lines, Naglubad ang iban nga mga tinaga jackdaw mga isla kon turukun The student searched where Antique is Ginpangita kon diin nayon ang Antique Nay, indi ko mental testing mabasa ang sulat mo Raku pa nga isla ang nagturuhaw Napuno give ang pahina The student could no longer read the letter of her mother. In the demise eight lines of the poem, the daughter pleaded to her mother not to write her once again because she doesn’t want to see the islands again. In the lines, Nay, indi stretch out ako pagsulati Indi slant natun pagpaayawan ang karteroKinii ang paggamit kang tinta Agud indi mamantsahan ang lamesa mo sa kusina Kag ang mga isla Indi ko gusto nga makita ruman. Nagapalangga, Ang imo anak. These lines also convey to its readers that the student wanted to forget the place where she came from because it’s a province. III. indigenouss advance Modernity Natives are in favor to modernity. The poem â€Å"Ang Tumuluon”, the student has questions that longed for answers and compared it to the particle that somehow aimless within the personas thought, Sa paramangkutanun nga daw mga bagtuk nga nagalabugay Sa akun paminsa contribute. In the lines, Namit gid man ang merchandiseBisan sabor kang sara-sara, Malipatan mo. The student appreciates the taste of an imported drinks offered to hi, but still the answers didn’t show up and the student felt more nervous in the lines, Garing hay, Wara gid naglugdang Ang mga lagtuk Sa akun pensar, Nagtubo pa ang nerbyos ko. In these lines, the student is bothered by the notion of imported goods. This poem has an imagery of how people were blinded by imported goods/products that it has a bad contribution to our own Philippine product, that in one way or another, instead of buying local products, people are impatient(predicate) to buy imported ones.This poem somehow reflects how individuals/natives conduct is changed by modernity that life in the present greatly differs from the past. â€Å"Patadyong” is another poem, patadyong is a native product woven into different designs. Unlike before, patadyong has limited uses, but because of modernity, it is now used for different fashion shows. From a simple material to elegant gowns. kon kaisa, wara naga ararangay ang imo mga duag pero katingalahan, nagapabilin kaw nga maanyag kabay nga duro pa gid ang magasuksuk kanimo Kinaray-a. Com- patadyong kang Antikenyo.Moreover, because of modernity patadyong does not only referred to as a cloth but also as a community website which is the kinaray-a. com that makes Antiqueno unite and shapes the Antiqueno identity. The poem â€Å"Hinugot sa postcard”, Labtugs mother appreciates the characteristics of Labtug’s wife who came from the city, Kang nag-abot ikaw Halin sa syudad Rugya sa amun sa Igcococ, Raku ang nagkuon nga swerte gid Ang bata ko nga si Labtug. According to Jurilla, a person who is not modern is termed as â€Å"manol” in the lines, Kon maglatay kaw gani Sa mga kahon sa tunga kang parayan,Daw hinugot ikaw Sa nagainaw-inaw nga post card. The mother is very advised of the cleaning adult female’s behaviors who came from the city even on the ways the woman walked to the arena. The poem itself reflects a mother’s view to a civilized woman. She has not considered the behavior of Labtug’s wife as an adjustment to the tradition in a barrio but instead, Labtug’s mother is very appreciative of a woman’s behavior coming from the city, that somehow Labtug’s wife is different among other native women. Native’s view that marrying a man/woman from the city is a lucky catch.Also in the poem â€Å"Sugidanun”, the â€Å"karne† (meat) represents change which made the persona in the poem doubt if change would be grasped or not. whitethornuhut nga karne Akon ginligon-ligon unless due to â€Å"modernity”, traditional ways of life have been replaced with uncontrollable change and unmanageable alternatives. The persona realized of accepting change specifically modernity, Daw parehas lang Ka binuy-an mo Nga sugidanum: Mapait Pero akun gintulun. Another poem â€Å"Ra Tana”, the first stanza shows the difference of a car into a equipage and uses as a status symbol within the society.Ang awto kag ang karusa Rayu gid kun ikumparar ta Ang tanda kag suruklan dya Pangabuhi sa syudad kag uma Moreover, from the second stanza to the last stanza, when natives goes into the city, he/she is ashamed of using the native language and uses other language. They adapt themselves to how people in the city socialize. The reason is civilized people view native language as unusual or â€Å"buki”. The poem itse lf addresses its readers that native people have been influenced by modernity, that instead of being proud of their own native language, they rather drive to speak other languages or dialects.In â€Å"Sa Kinaray-a”, also shows how modernity changes the early ways of having friends. Nowadays, Internet can be access any time and a person can have friends at anytime. This poem somehow tells that Kinaray-a people have been united by the Internet. IV. Modernity in Lifestyle The leisure time of natives nowadays are mostly influenced by Western Culture which is a great representation of modernity. Gambling is influenced by Western countries such as Spain. In â€Å"Dyoker ay”, a mother believes on her luck in â€Å"madjong” and ignores her child who is pleading for a food at supper, Nay, indi run magpautangSi manding Sibya ano bay idapli namun! The mother proceed playing while having â€Å"tsismis” (gossips) with other gamblers, Ano bay kuon ni Posang Hay may d ara si Idok na Nga Sibwana kuno? and even somebody asked her to go home because her husband was drunk, still the mother continued playing, Mre buslan ‘ta kaw Uli ‘to anay Nalingin kuno si Polding mo In the last line of the poem â€Å"Dyoker ay”, the mother won in â€Å"madjong” and retains her luck. This poem represents the modern ways of leisure time and somehow source of income of natives that instead of thinking for a better work, they still prefer gambling.The next poem is another form or representation of gambling. draftsmanship is a form of gambling and millions of people are active into it. People wasted much notes in trying their luck at drafting and win millions of pesos if they are lucky enough. In â€Å"Iliili kang Manugpatad”, a father keeps trying his luck even if he was out of luck, Dimalas gid ang sabat Mapatad ta liwat but still apprehend of winning and says he will try again his luck.. Another poem is â€Å"Strit Ekis” th e people were also engaged into gambling such as lottery. In the lines Ay tabang! Tabang! whitethorn nagbungguanay the people were crowded because there was an accident.But instead of serving they are bothered of a certain calamity and objects that signifies or represents numbers, Ano gani ang numero Kang dugo? Kang traysikel tana? Ay! ay nagabusong! Ay abaw! Ano? May nagabusong pa! Sige! Abaya sa numero! Srit ekis! Pulo ang patad. Ay tabang! Tabang! Ay abaw it was a late realization for the people to help those in the accident. Another poem is â€Å"Ang Ginawali sa Atlantic City”, its surprising to know that even in perform, modernity is present. In the lines, Pinasahi ang bagting ka mga simbahan relihiyon ka swerte ang ginawali kang mga kaparian kang kapalaran a Caesars, Trump Marina, Sands, Taj Mahal ukon Borgata The ringing of the bell in Atlantic City’s church is different among others. In these lines, prayers are not just viewed as a way to praise God but also to have a prosperous life. It is not the teachings of God that enables people to attend mass instead it’s the physical appearance of the church beauty that pushes people to offer prayers and big offerings, daragkul nga mga katedral nagairigpat, nagapanghagad sa mga tumuluo sa paghalad pagnobena kag pagsimba sa altar ka mga time slot machines kag baraha; The church is also open 24 hours a day,Sa dyang mga simmbahan ang mga misa warat katapusan adlaw-adlaw sanda bukas sa byente kwatro oras Somehow churches in Atlantic City represents modernity wherein people forgotten the early ways of praising God. In the last lines, Parehas kang pagkanabaw kang dyang relihiyon nga napasad, bukut sa bato kundi sa pagsipal sa swerte nga ginadamgo. religion is slowly vanishing and later on would be viewed only as a way of having prosperity. Chapter VI Conclusion and Recommendation Contemporary Kinaray-a poetry are mostly works of young writers that have been products of Universities. To borrow Deriada’s words. The neglect of the countryside in favor of the big city. ” This is somehow the reason why in present works of Kinaray-a writers, â€Å"modernity” is present or reflected. There are four major concerns of â€Å"modernity” present in 15 Contemporary Kinaray-a poems. These are: 1. Environment. Modernity in the environment is one way through which individuals tend to leave the native land. Natives are somehow longing for the past but it was already changed or gone away because of modernity 2. Education. Natives send their children in urban schools for the fast access on facilities and this gives them hope. 3.Natives being in favored to modernity. They have this flightiness that being in favored to modernity would mean lots of opportunities and 4. Gambling as social vice. Modernity in gambling could highly show that in leisure time and lifestyle of natives nowadays, â€Å"modernity” is present The concept of modernity makes us understan d that the present is discontinuous with the past, than through a process of social and cultural change, life in the present is fundamentally different form the past. These poems make us believe that modernity highly affects us individuals that we have fitting through the process of change due to â€Å"modernity”.This generation has already identified themselves with modernity in this case, the past is no longer present or common ways in the past slowly fades and rural lands had been attracted to transfer in urban areas for opportunities and fast access on facilities. Literature is a marginalized field but its change due to â€Å"modernity” is not felt by all. Further research is also recommended for the better understanding of â€Å"modernity’s” effect in Contemporary Kinaray-a poems.
