Barbaza, Raniela Evangelista.

An orosipon kan bikolnon : interrupting the Philippine nation / Raniela Evangelista Barbaza. - Quezon City : The University of the Philippines Press, c2017. - xxvi, 363 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm.

Includes glossary, bibliography, and index.

If narration points to notions of fixity in terms of the position of the narrator and the subsequent structuring of events, orosipon, a Bikolnon word for “story,” suggests a refusal to fixity both in terms of the location of the narrator and the structure itself of the story: the story never stops being formed as it passes through multiple speakers. Orosipon, coming from the root word osip which approximates the verb “tell,” points to more than one person involved in an act of telling, which makes the act of telling proper to no one in particular: indeed, it is improper for any one to act as the sole teller.
