1. Francisca S. Reyes-Tolentino and Petrona Ramos,Philippine Folk Dances and Games(New York: Silver, Burdett and Company, 1927/1935): iii. For practical purposes I will useCTBDandPEwhen referring to these two books. The citation reads “For some of the the dancing steps and technique I have consulted Chalif's ‘Textbook of Dancing,’ Book I, and Mr. Frederick O. England's ‘Physical Education.’ To Mrs. Florence Dangerfield I am indebted for constructive suggestions relative to the presentation of all the folk dances. I have introduced the universally recognized five fundamental positions of the arms and feet which are most appropriate to Philippine dances. I have also adapted some of the dancing steps used exclusively in Philippine dances”(iii). The citation is dated March 31, 1927 by Francisca S. Reyes, further complicating her naming. The full title isThe Chalif Text Book of Dancing, Book 1(New York: self-published, 1914).
2. Benedict Anderson,Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism(New York: Verso, 2006, revised ed.): 6. My analysis of these texts reaffirms Anderson's famous argument that the emergence of the nation-state, nationality, and nation-ness must be understood in the context of the decline of previously privileged access to script language (Latin), the decline of divine and monarchical systems as organizing rules of power, and shifts in modes of time and data apprehension linked to the rise of print-capitalism.
