SEMI-CIVILIZED: THE MORO VILLAGE AT THE LOUISIANA PURCHASE EXPOSITION (NIU SOUTHEAST ASIAN SERIES)

Book ID/图书代码： 03360020C00047

English Summary/英文概要： Semi-Civilized offers a concise, revealing, and analytically insightful view of a critical period in Philippine history. Michael C. Hawkins examines Moro (Filipino Muslim) contributions to the Philippine Exhibit at the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904, providing insight into this fascinating and previously overlooked historical episode. By reviving and contextualizing Moro participation in the Exposition, Hawkins challenges typical manifestations of empire drawn from the fair and delivers a nuanced and textured vision of the nature of American imperial discourse. In Semi-Civilized Hawkins argues that the Moro display provided a distinctive liminal space in the dialectical relationship between civilization and savagery at the fair. The Moros offered a transcultural bridge. They, through their official yet nondescript designation as "semi-civilized," undermined and mediated the various binaries structuring the Exposition. Hawkins demonstrates, represented an unexpectedly welcomed challenge to the binary logic and discomfort of the display. As Semi-Civilized shows, the display was collaborative and the Moros exercised unexpected agency, by negotiating, how the display was both structured and interpreted by the public. Fair-goers were actively seeking an extraordinary experience. Exhibit organizers framed it, but ultimately the Moros provided it. And therein lay a tremendous amount of power.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《半文明》就菲律宾历史的关键时期，提供了一个简洁，启迪式的和分析有见地的观点。迈克尔·西·霍金斯在1904年的圣路易斯世界博览会上检视了摩洛(菲律宾穆斯林)对菲律宾展品的贡献，对这段引人入胜、但此前被忽视的历史事件提供了深入的了解。霍金斯通过复兴摩洛参与博览会并将其语境化，挑战了来自博览会的帝国的典型表现形式，并对美国帝国话语的本质提出了细致入微的、有质感的看法。在《半文明》一书中，霍金斯认为，摩洛展示为博览会上的文明与野蛮的辩证关系提供了一个独特的边缘空间。摩洛人提供了一座跨文化的桥梁。他们，通过他们的官方的但不起眼的命名为“半文明”的称号，破坏和调解了各种各样的二进制结构的阐述。霍金斯的演示，代表了对二进制逻辑和显示的不适的一个出人意料的欢迎的挑战。就像《半文明》说的，展出是合作的，摩洛人运用了意想不到的代理，通过谈判，展出是如何被组织和被公众解释的。参加展会的人们积极地寻求一种非凡的体验。展览组织者设计了它，但最终是摩洛人提供的。这里面蕴藏着巨大的力量。（YYW）
