AFTER EDSA
 1986 EDSA
REVOLUTION
The year 1986 demarcates the
beginning of new scene in the
unfolding narrative of
contemporary Philippine
Literature.
 1986 EDSA
REVOLUTION
It saw the fall of the dictatorship that
President Marcos set up on September 21,
1972, when he placed the Philippines under
martial rule, initiating a regime that did not
only suppress the writers' right to free
expression but also created conditions that
made collaboration and cooptation
convenient choices for artists struggling for
recognition and survival.

There is in the academe an emerging
critical orientation that draws its
concerns and insights from literary
theorizing current in England and United
States.

2. Post-EDSA publishing has been
marked by adventurousness, a
willingness to gamble on "non-
traditional" projects.

3. The declining prestige of the New
Criticism, whose rigorous aesthetic norms
has previously functioned as a Procrustean
bed on which Filipino authors and their
works were measured, has opened a gap in
the critical evaluation of literary works.

4. The fourth and final characteristic of
post-EDSA writing is the development
thrust towards the retrieval and the
recuperation of writing in Philippine
languages other than Tagalog.
