Clod Marlan Krister Yambao
Position: PhD Fellow
Academic Interests:
Clod’s research interest can be found in the conjuncture of Humanities and Social Sciences. Broadly, he explores the contemporary (infra)structures, and structuration of the value(s) of political time in the context of postcolonial violence and precarities under neoliberalism. He investigates the structuring processes of these value(s) of political time by looking at the intersections of the ontology of the body, aesthetics and critical theory (with special emphasis on theories of vitality), and creative actions. He studies walking as an organizing tropes and “practical logics” ( Bourdieu, 1990) to understand the indigenous peoples political struggles, their relationship with the land, climate change and the environment.
His research project is part of a larger intellectual curiosity and investigation on the aesthetics, ontology of the body and political ontology of the “other” of political namely, the unspeakable and silenced, the disappearing and invisible, and the still, inactive and inertia.
He is a research fellow for climate justice and indigenous peoples Energy Collaboratory of Manila Observatory. His personal hobbies include running marathons, biking and aimless distance walking.
