DAY 1, 22 SEPTEMBER 2014 Welcome remarks by Dr. Roland B. Tolentino, Dean, College of Mass Communication Dr. Flora Elena R. Mirano, Dean, College of Arts and Letters Keynote Address by Resil B. Mojares, Professor Emeritus University of San Carlos APOLINARIO MABINI, ISABELO DE LOS REYES, AND THE EMERGENCE OF A ‘FILIPINO PUBLIC’ The paper sketches the factors behind the emergence of a ‘public’ in the late nineteenth century, and locates in this context the distinctive careers of Apolinario Mabini and Isabelo de los Reyes. The activities of Mabini and de los Reyes were enabled by the emergence of a “public sphere” in the colony, at the same time that their activities helped define and widen a sphere that had become more distinctly ‘national’ in character. Complicating the Habermasian characterization of a “bourgeois public sphere,” the paper calls for a fuller study of the more popular agencies, sites, media, and networks in the formation of a public in nineteenth-century Philippines. About the keynote speaker: Resil Mojares is Professor Emeritus and director of the Cebuano Studies Center. He is a prolific author on Philippine history and literature and the foremost scholar on Isabelo de los Reyes. He published Brains of the Nation: Pedro Paterno, T.H. Pardo de Tavera, Isabelo de Los Reyes and the Production of Modern Knowledge which dealt with life and works of de Los Reyes. Moderator: Jan Robert Go ================================ DAY 2, 23 SEPTEMBER 2014 Welcome remarks by Dr. Grace Aguiling-Dalisay, Dean, College of Social Science and Philosophy Prof. Leonardo C. Rosete, Dean, College of Fine Arts Keynote Address by Merlinda Bobis University of Wollongong Tahao/Middle Road: From Imagining Nation to Embodying Transnation This is a creative-critical discussion of my expatriate arts practice (literature and performance) using border theory as the underpinning framework. The Tahao Road (meaning ‘Middle/Border Road’) is a very busy road in my original home Legazpi. The road cuts across the heart of the city. It was built in the late 90s (long after I left home) to relocate and ease the congested traffic from the old road. Using this as a metaphor for my ‘border practice’ away from home and the national/ist imaginary, I will trace how the expatriate writer relocates ‘the traffic’ of the imaginary from the nation to the transnation in order to allow it to survive in its new home in the West. This survival strategy de-territorialises the sensibility but also renders it ‘suspect’, in terms of loyalty and currency, to both sides of the border: Australia and the Philippines. More dangerously, it cuts/fragments the heart of the artist; and the only way to ‘make whole’ is to embody the border in performance. To live the ‘Tahao Road’, and thus find its way back to a notion of home. About the keynote speaker: Merlinda Bobis, a writer, performer, and academician from the University of Wollongong where she now teaches creative writing. She is a scholar who has written on the transnational imaginary, postcoloniality, creative-critical production, cross-cultural engagement, militarism, loss and water, and empathy. She has worked on international collaborative research projects with other scholars and academics in Australia, Spain, USA, Canada, China, Singapore. She is currently university Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing. She has taught at various universities in Australia and the Philippines for nearly thirty years. Moderator: Clod Martin Krister V.
