Publishing Romance Fiction in the Philippines Paperback / softback
by Jodi (Deakin University, Victoria) McAlister, Claire (University of Melbourne) Parnell, Andrea Anne (Ateneo de Manila University) Trinidad
Part of the Elements in Publishing and Book Culture series
Paperback / softback
Description
The romance publishing landscape in the Philippines is vast and complex, characterised by entangled industrial players, diverse kinds of texts, and siloed audiences.
This Element maps the large, multilayered, and highly productive sector of the Filipino publishing industry.
It explores the distinct genre histories of romance fiction in this territory and the social, political and technological contexts that have shaped its development.
It also examines the close connections between romance publishing and other media sectors alongside unique reception practices.
It takes as a central case study the Filipino romance self-publishing collective #RomanceClass, analysing how they navigate this complex local landscape as well as the broader international marketplace.
The majority of scholarship on romance fiction exclusively focuses on the Anglo-American industry.
By focusing here on the Philippines, the authors hope to disrupt this phenomenon, and to contribute to a more decentred, rhizomatic approach to understanding this genre world.
