Title: Fooling Around: Juan Posong and the Gracioso in Cebuano Literature

Abstract:
This paper studies the relationship between the trickster figure, Juan Posong, and the gracioso in the linambay in early twentieth century Cebuano literature. It is meant to familiarize the audience with the pinusong as a means of achieving a goal, and its anti-dramatic but mocking nature. It includes looking at the pinusong and the gracioso’s humorous output from the perspective of the carnivalesque as well that of confronting hegemonic establishment and the social values identified with the dominant levels of society.
