Welcome to Streetprint Manila

Streetprint Manila is a research project that is part of a larger research endeavour called “Six Continents and Between”. Initiated by Prof. Gary Kelly of the University of Alberta, 6CAB seeks to investigate popular print culture across various geographical, sociocultural, and ethnolinguistic contexts. More specifically, it aims to look at reading patterns and preferences of the Filipino Everyman, or those whom we would largely consider members of the “masa” class.

Similarly, slice-of-life accounts have also established a strong market base among mass readers. These personal narratives are typically observations or reflections about the day-to-day experiences of the authors writing them. Usually, these texts are first published online as blog entries on Facebook or some other popular blogging platform such as Wordpress, Blogger, or Livejournal.
