The employment of translocality as a research perspective is currently gaining momentum. My findings contribute to scholarship on migration and emotion by, first, demonstrating how emotion in general, and shame in particular, flows between international and internal migrations and second, by underscoring the role of emotion in creating new dimensions of shame in spaces of migration. I argue that as much as shame has been viewed as an element of social cohesion in the Philippines, its analysis is also a critical tool for troubling current understandings of social positions in migrant spaces such as Little Italy. I interrogate internal migrants' shame in two ways: first, as underpinning the subservience that is necessary for negotiating their nominal membership of the village and second, in contesting and reframing Filipino stereotypes in relation to local social standing and place-based meanings of paid domestic work. These intersecting flows of international and internal migration render Little Italy a 'migrant village'. Little Italy's internal migrants are other Philippine nationals who have moved to the village for employment opportunities within OFW households.
Specifically, I analyse how shame is embodied and performed by internal migrants in " Little Italy ", a village in the Philippines populated by overseas Filipino workers (OFW), who largely work in Italy, and their families who remain resident in the village. Moreover, the appeal of these areas to a large number of people has sound effects on property values and tax revenues if these communities are appropriately kept and maintained.In this article, I examine how internal migrants in a Philippine village negotiate shame. Traditional urban settings, which have evolved over centuries, are characterized by distinctive combinations of architectural influences, artifacts, and qualities that, in conjunction with their human-scale design, evoke a sense of intimacy and authenticity and create enjoyable places. Improved attractiveness and property valuesĪs historic locations lead the way in tourism, it is indisputable that districts exhibiting age-old traits exude a desirable spatial allure. From ancestral houses, mansions, churches, schools, and other public buildings, Iloilo City did a great job in maintaining its historic buildings’ aesthetics and functionality, serving as a great example of vernacular and colonial architecture that lasted for decades and even centuries. Iloilo is home to some of the country’s climate-responsive and historic buildings that stood the test of time. Iloilo City did a great job in maintaining its ancestral houses.
