Lecture Series 2022 #5: Anthropology of Art, Language and DNA: What the Bagobo Can Teach Us

The Museo ng Kaalamáng Katutubò presents Anthropology of Art, Language and DNA: What the Bagobo Can Teach Us by Cherubim A. Quizon, Ph. D. Recent DNA based studies on the peopling of the Philippines use indigenous language group names as proxies for actual groups of people being studied. This lecture argues that ethnicity categories, when studied ethnographically though art and material culture, are polythetic phenomena that do not rely on markers of language or biological descent alone. Using decades of scholarly research on the textile art, language and ethnic self-identification of the Bagobo of Southern Mindanao, this lecture offers an important critique of methodological assumptions about what we can reasonably say about ethnicity, community, and other culture-bound populations in contemporary and past times.
