The creative work in the literary, and/or sociopolitical context.
To understand and appreciate a literary selection, a reader must understand the significant contexts in which it was written.
What Is Context?
The definition of context is the setting within which a work of writing is situated. Context provides meaning and clarity to the intended message. Context clues in a literary work create a relationship between the writer and reader, giving a deeper understanding of the intent and direction of the writing. Literary context is background information or circumstances you provide to inform why something is taking place; context can also be the backstory of a character, provided to inform their behaviour and personality.
The role of context is to bridge the gap between authors and their audiences, strengthening readers’ comprehension and preventing miscommunication of the writer’s intent. It’s not enough to know that a particular event is occurring—readers also need context to know why.
TYPES OF CONTEXT
SOCIO- POLITICAL CONTEXT
The socio-political influences the morals of a nation as well. Making or dissolving laws is a way not only for the majority to have a voice, but also to establish a norm because the norm tends to be defined by the majority.
- An example of a contemporary socio-political issue in the United States is the issue of gun control. Citizens are conflicted about whether private citizens should be allowed to own guns. That conflict has expanded into government in the form of existing and impending regulations about gun ownership. Another example of a socio-political issue in the United States is immigration. The question of who should be allowed to live in the United States as well as why and how has a direct impact on the society of the United States. Government also plays a role in determining who can legally live in the United States. Socio-political context plays a critical role on the global stage as well. War is often the result of not just political conflict, but social conflict as well.
Cultural Studies– is a multi-disciplinary approach which includes the perspectives of humanistic disciplines such as literature and art and the social and behavioural sciences such as anthropology, economics, and psychology.
As a critical perspective, it contests the older definition of culture and looks not at the stable coherences of a society or a civilization’s history but its dissensions and conflicts.
Sample Critical Question:
- What kinds of gender identify, behavior, and attitudes are reflected in the work?
- Is there any overtly or covertly expressed view of same-sex unions or relationships? For instance: “We Filipinos are Mild drinkers” centers on the drinking habits of the Filipinos and Americans and it uniquely showed the events that happened during the war by making the atmosphere light and humorous. The kind of drink Joe brought, “whiskey” and “lambanog” for the farmers revealed the characters’ culture.
SOCIAL CONTEXT
The social context of a text is the way in which the features of the society it is set in impact on its meaning. There are two aspects to social context: the kind of society in which the characters live, and the one in which the author’s text was produced.
Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre was set in the same social context she herself lived in. It was one in which women were seen as the lesser sex, there was a great divide between the wealthy and lower class, and strict class boundaries were enforced. All of these societal features are key in determining Brontë’s views on the importance of social inclusion, and her championing of the strength of women. Or just listen to Phoebe:
LITERARY CONTEXT
According to Robinson, creativity is about working in a highly focused way on ideas and projects, crafting them into their best forms and making critical judgments along the way.
Literary Work can be defined as branch of literature dealing with words as a raw material to create a picture, an idea or a story in a meaningful pattern. While Creative Writing is a creative work that values man as a creator and raises his existence above the world of subsistence and the study of what is written is the way (by which) another literate person sees and analyses the work in question.
Feminist Perspective– is an approach that typically sees literature as an arena in which to contest for power and control and thus an agent for social transformation. Like Historicism and Marxism, this approach also examines the social, economic, and cultural aspects of literary works especially for what those works reveal about the role, position, and influence of women
What I can do
A. Directions: Read the excerpt of the short story Unseen War by Antonio Enriquez. Identify the cultural and historical contexts found in it. Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper.
Here are the terms that need to be unlocked.
firing of weapons
fleet of ships
Infantry men armed with a musket which is a long- barrelled guns
Place that is fortified and is easily defended
Wild and unsettled land
Thickets – A dense or tangled growth of small trees
How are the relations between men and women, or those between members of the opposite sex, presented in the work? What roles do men and women assume and perform and with what consequence? For instance: In “Dhowli” by Mahasweti Devi, the positions of women are basically binary based and more seemingly the positions of marginalized women are more, and are living on the edge of domination and suffering. It deals with a paradox and also falls into the dilemma of gray-space: in between of marginal living/ centered living, man/woman, dominated/ dominator. Moreover, they are subjugated in multiple shades of oppression and domination.
The Unseen War An excerpt from Enriquez (1996)
That very second the first volley burst from the 80 canons of the Spanish armada, Senor Capitan Esteban de Murga, Maestre de Campo General Felipe Macombong, Battalion Commander Santiago the Handsomer, the guide Orancaya Sofocan, and the musketeers, lancers, bowmen, artillery men, and foot soldiers, sprang from waiting behind Sultan Kudarat’s stronghold.
They would have rushed up like soldiers do smelling certain victory but for the thick bushes, thickets, woody trees, and rough land; instead they marched or tramped quickly, fast, northeastward; the infidel Moros, however, were aware only of the Spanish Armada facing them at the bay, not of the forces behind them on land; which, meticulously and systematically, started burning everything in sight; cottas, sitios, and villages of the heathen Moros.

These are the key ingredients included in every CRAFT writing: Content: What is the expected content of the essay? Role of a writer: You must decide who (or what) you will be.
