This thesis covers the first Philippine Independence Mission made to the United States in the early 20th century. Shortly following the conclusion of World War I, representatives from the Philippines sought to gain fulfillment of its independence. The origins and history of the Philippine independence movement are traced from its push against Spanish rule to the efforts to gain sovereignty from American governorship through major political figures, such as the highly influential Manuel L. Quezon, as well as the American arguments for and against withdrawing from the Philippines through the platforms of political parties and individual politicians. Despite American support for the movement, the Philippine delegates faced complicated political motivations, doubts about the stability of the Philippine government, and concerns about the potential consequences of leaving the Philippines without an American presence. This thesis was completed before the Philippines were granted full independence from the United States in 1946.

Cette étude vise à révéler l’histoire évolutive de l’image de la Manileña à l’aide des traces textuelles et iconographiques découvertes dans la presse écrite disponible à Manille de 1893 à 1938. Ainsi, nous pourrons décrire et comprendre les continuités et les ruptures des images et des représentations de la Manileña. Il est urgent de mieux comprendre comment les médias reproduisent et construisent socialement le genre. Cette recherche vise à mettre au jour les conséquences et les répercussions de la culture visuelle sur l’image du genre dans le contexte de la modernité et de l’urbanisation. Notre étude explore le croisement entre histoire, genre, médias, modernité et urbanisation dans la sphère publique, la sphère privée et toutes les sphères intermédiaires. Nous espérons que cette thèse contribuera à la compréhension de la formation des représentations dans un contexte colonial de modernisation et d’urbanisation rapides. / This study hopes to provide the evolving story of the Manileña image through the usage of text and iconography found in print media available in Manila from 1898-1938. Through this process, the narrative of the continuities and changes of the images and representations of the Manileña that were created and portrayed in the periodicals may be seen and understood. This study also seeks to examine the various issues, perspectives and concerns that cropped up due to the changes that occurred. There is a need to understand how media reproduce and socially construct gender. This research hopes to find out the implications of visual culture and its impact on a gendered image in the face of modernity and urbanization. The study will interrogate the intersection of history, gender, media, modernity and urbanization as it plays in the realms of the public sphere, the private sphere and the unnamed realms in between. The study will hopefully add to the understanding of image formation in a colonial context undergoing rapid modernity and urbanization.
