    NOLI ME TANGERE

    CONTINUING RELEVANCE
    NOLI ME TANGERE

    While the Noli Me Tangere triggered


    th
    social conversations in the late 19
    century Philippines , it is important to
    note how the novel continues to
    resonate beyond its time
    NOLI ME TANGERE

    The success of Rizal’s novel


    also rests on its timelessness in
    terms of present-day social
    issues and political /
    economic realities
    NOLI ME TANGERE

    Noli’s legacy and continuing


    relevance still echoes not only
    in the field of literature but also
    in the areas of history and
    social sciences
    NOLI ME TANGERE
    Rizal as a social scientist who
    espoused early articulations of a
    social-scientific manner of
    understanding and presenting the
    way of life, in this case, within a
    social context
    NOLI ME TANGERE
    Appreciating the importance of
    Rizal as a thinker
    Relating the issues raised in the
    novel to the changing landscape
    of the contemporary world
    NOLI ME TANGERE
    Vocabulary :
    1. Censorship – the suppression of the
    release or publication of materials
    deemed inappropriate , obscene,
    politically unacceptable, or a threat
    to security
    NOLI ME TANGERE
    2. Critique – an evaluation, analysis,
    or assessment of a literary,
    philosophical, or scientific work
    3. Sociology – the social science of
    dealing with the study of the
    development, structures, and
    functioning of human society
    NOLI ME TANGERE

    At present, Noli Me Tengere is


    considered by many as a
    landmark piece of literature
    Rizal as the father of Filipino
    novel
    NOLI ME TANGERE

    In the immediate months and


    years after its release in 1887,
    the Noli generated reactions
    from readers, Filipinos and
    foreigners alike
    NOLI ME TANGERE
    Responses ranged from praise to
    outright ridicule
    One sector that espoused utmost
    disdain for the novel was the
    Spanish clergy as well as some
    Spanish colonial officials
    NOLI ME TANGERE
    It is thus understandable that Spanish
    friars vehemently prohibited the
    circulation of the novel in 1887 when
    Fray Salvador Font, chair of the
    censorship commission , outlawed
    the reading and possession of Rizal’s
    novel
    NOLI ME TANGERE
    Many other friars assessed and
    judged the book as pernicious
    They enjoined the devout
    Catholics not to read the novel to
    avoid committing capital sins
    NOLI ME TANGERE

    Not only confined in the


    Philippines, critics of the novel
    coming from Spanish officials
    and academics also
    circulated in Spain
    NOLI ME TANGERE
    One staunch critic of the novel
    was the Spanish academic
    Vicente Barrantes who wrote
    several articles in Spanish
    newspapers ridiculing Rizal as a
    “man of contradictions”
    NOLI ME TANGERE

    Barrantes lamented that Rizal’s


    lambasting of the friars and the
    Spaniards was reflective of the
    author and telling more about
    the Filipinos
    NOLI ME TANGERE
    As much as Rizal’s critics came from
    sectors, his novel also found ardent
    defenders among his peers
    Many of his colleagues in the
    Propaganda Movement praised his
    novel
    NOLI ME TANGERE
    As the Noli stirred controversy in
    th
    social circles in 19 century
    Philippines , it is remarkable to
    realize that even beyond its time ,
    the novel continued to be a
    subject of debate and discussion
    NOLI ME TANGERE
    In the immediate years after its
    publication , the Noli was translated
    into several languages
    Arguably the most circulated versions
    were the English translations of
    Charles Derbyshire
    NOLI ME TANGERE
    By the 1930’s , Rizal’s Noli had several
    Spanish editions, translations into
    English, French , Japanese, and also
    into several languages in the
    Philippines including Tagalog,
    Cebuano, Waray, Iloko, and Bikol
    NOLI ME TANGERE
    The very controversy that
    surrounded the passage of the
    Rizal Law indicated the relevance
    of the text in the 1950’s and even
    beyond
    NOLI ME TANGERE

    Sociologist Syed Farid Alatas


    even went as far as describing
    Rizal as probably the most
    systematic social thinker in
    Southeast Asia
    NOLI ME TANGERE

    In the Noli, Rizal highlighted


    some of his ideas on how the
    Philippine society could be
    emancipated from the
    bondage of colonial rule
    NOLI ME TANGERE

    He underscored the
    importance of education as a
    powerful tool to achieve
    progress
    NOLI ME TANGERE
    However, he also expressed the
    complexities and constraints wrought
    by the colonial condition not only on
    foreigners, but also on some
    misguided Filipinos that contributed
    to the ills of the society
    NOLI ME TANGERE
    As Rizal exposed the vile realities of
    the context he wrote about, he also
    emphasized the good qualities of the
    Filipinos, which needed to be
    harnessed in order to succeed in the
    struggle for emancipation
