Summary: Sacrificial bodies is a comprehensive study on how the act of heroic sacrifice against foreign aggression has been transformed into a means of liberating generations of Filipinos from all forms of oppression, through the iconic pose and location of Guillermo Tolentino's sculpture, the Oblation, within the UP campus. By tracing this idea through the various icons and images of the Oblation, the book also reveals how ambivalent and context-specific this assertions has been ingrained, imagined, and re-experienced by generations of practitioners in Philippine visual culture.
