Talitha Espiritu is a Filipino author and academic known for her work on cinema during the Marcos dictatorship.[1] Espiritu teaches in the Film and New Media Studies program at Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts.[2][3]

Early life and education[edit]

Espiritu was born in Manila, Philippines to fashion designer Christian Espiritu, who served as Imelda Marcos's chief couturier and Gliceria Limcaoco, a former private school teacher.[4] She received her B.A. in Communication Arts from the Ateneo de Manila University, her first M.A. from The John W. Draper Interdisciplinary Program in Humanities and Social Thought and her Ph.D. in Cinema Studies both from New York University. Before pursuing a career in the academe she was an art writer covering the Manila art scene from 1992-1995.[1][5][6]

Passionate Revolutions[edit]

Passionate Revolutions is the first book to examine how aesthetics and messaging based on sentimental narratives helped secure the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos and sustained the popular struggles that toppled it, culminating in the EDSA “people power” of 1986.[7] According to Andrea Malaya M. Ragragio, Passionate Revolutions "expands the critical discussion of dictatorships in general and Marcos’s in particular by placing Filipino popular media and the regime’s public culture in dialogue."[1][8]
