\nPlace<\/strong>: Meeting room (E107) on the first floor of East building, CSEAS, Kyoto University<\/p>\n
\nIs there a post-colonial humanities? How does a comparative
\nunderstanding of the histories of Singapore, the Philippines, and the
\nUnited States help us track the formation of the humanities in the
\ncurrent moment, often characterized as one of \u201cneo-liberal
\nglobalization\u201d? How does education in the humanities at once continue
\nand displace the work of what was once called \u201cnational development\u201d?
\nHow does the nation-state recruit languages–specifically English and
\nthe mother tongues\u2015into the work of translating the inhuman conditions
\nof global capital into the humanizing ideology of development? In the
\ncase especially of Singapore, how does the work of English translation
\ncreate new–one could even say, mutant–formations of expression that
\nexceed, if not defy, the nation-state\u2019s mandates for an educated
\ncitizenry? What are the consequences of such linguistic defiance for
\nrevising regnant ideas about the prospects for pursuing a post-colonial
\nhumanities?<\/p>\n
\nVicente L. Rafael is Professor of History and Southeast Asian Studies at
\nthe University of Washington in Seattle. He is the author of several
\nworks on the Philippines, including Contracting Colonialism, White Love
\nand Other Events in Filipino History, The Promise of the Foreign, and
\nmost recently, Motherless Tongues: The Insurgency of Language Amid Wars
\nof Translation, all published by Duke University Press.<\/p>\n
