Abstract

Is there a single EDSA 1 in the public minds of Filipino civilian and military groups? Or are there different and antagonistic memories of this event? EDSA 1 in the Public Minds of Filipino Civilian and Military Groups: A Social Representations Approach to History by Cristina Jayme Montiel, published by the Institute of Philippine Culture in 2010, discusses the different stories of EDSA 1 in the public minds of civilians and military personnel. Using a social representations approach to history, the author surveyed 200 individuals from graduating classes 1986 and 2006, from both the Ateneo de Manila University and the Philippine Military Academy. Results indicate two different—and even opposing—EDSA 1 narratives in the collective minds of individuals belonging to the civilian and military sectors. Findings are discussed in the light of how groups may represent their institutional histories of democratic shift in order to uplift their political positions during the unstable period of transition after the fall of an authoritarian regime.
