About Staff: FY2008
HAU, Caroline Sy
 Associate Professor
- Division of Integrated Area Studies
- B. A. in English Studies, University of the Philippines, 1990

Current Research Interests
- The Chinese in the Philippines
- Pan-Asianism(s) and revolutionary networks
- Cultural flows and the formation of “East Asia”
I am currently working on two projects. One is a book manuscript on the
history and politics of the “Chinese Question” in the Philippines. This
project critically examines the ways in which “Chineseness” is historically
constructed and negotiated in the Philippines over the last hundred years
as documented in literature, film, popular culture, academic debate, public
policy, and everyday practices. Special emphasis will be given to the mutations
and reinventions “Chineseness” is undergoing within the context of deepening
East Asian economic and political integration and regionalization over
the past two-and-a-half decades. The second project is an “archeology”
of Asianisms that seeks to map and analyze the networks and ideologies
of anticolonial, communist, and capitalist interaction and cooperation
from the eras of anticolonial revolutionary solidarities and anti-imperialist
struggle to the forms of Asian identification currently emerging out of
East Asian regional integration. This archeology is meant to show the complex,
multi-stranded nature of Asianism while developing a regional framework
of analysis that goes beyond single-nation or bilateral studies.
