Abstract
|
|
|
|
| The article provides context and highlights the significance of the short story "El pasado se compra" ("The Past is Bought"), which won the short story contest held by the Filipino newspaper La Vanguardia in 1936. The author, José María del Mar, a journalist not typically featured in Philippine literary histories, penned the story. Del Mar's narrative delves into prevalent themes of the time, particularly the role of women in society, navigating between native traditions, Spanish colonial Catholicism, and the new American influence following the 1898 colonial transition. Furthermore, the article discusses the importance of newspapers and short story competitions in promoting the Spanish language in the Philippines during a period when its usage was declining. These platforms served as crucial avenues for maintaining Spanish language and culture in a changing colonial landscape. |
