Fantasy-Production: Sexual Economies and Other Philippine Consequences for the New World Order confronts this unsettling question head-on, situating the Philippines at the volatile intersection of postcolonial politics, gendered labor, and the relentless logic of neoliberal globalization. Neferti Xina M. Tadiar chronicles how the Filipino nation and its people — particularly women — are rendered as raw material for international economic and cultural systems, arguing that fantasy itself operates as a mode of production, shaping geopolitical realities as much as factories or financial markets.\n\nTadiar's writing is theoretically rigorous yet searingly urgent, drawing on feminist cultural studies, postcolonial theory, and political economy to illuminate the hidden costs borne by those at the margins of the New World Order. Her analysis uncovers the ways in which imperial histories and contemporary globalization perpetuate structural inequalities, transforming intimate lives and national imaginaries into instruments of economic utility. Published by the Ateneo de Manila University Press, this landmark work stands as an essential provocation for scholars of Southeast Asian studies, gender studies, and critical theory — one that leaves the reader questioning who truly profits from the world's most seductive fictions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203120734427,"sku":"9789715504669-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/734149ee-d708-4480-a7cc-ce24f9764c93.png?v=1788144560","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9789715504669-secondhand-fantasy-production-sexual-economies-and-other-philippine-consequences-for-the-new-world-order","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
