CALL FOR PAPERS<\/p>\n
\nIn a prolific career spanning five decades, Resil B. Mojares has produced a remarkable body of work that combines meticulous research, incisive analysis, and elegant, lyrical writing.\n<\/p>\n
\nAn exemplary home-grown and -educated activist, intellectual, institution-builder, and man of letters, Mojares has made important, often pioneering, contributions to diverse fields and subjects, ranging from Philippine literature (Origins and Rise of the Filipino Novel: A Generic Study of the Novel until 1940; [co-ed.] the two-volume Sugilanong Sugboanon), architecture (Casa Gorordo in Cebu: Urban Residence in a Philippine Province, 1860\u20131920), theater and social history (Theater in Society, Society in Theater: Social History of a Cebuano Village, 1840\u20131940), to intellectual history (Brains of the Nation: Pedro Paterno, T. H. Pardo de Tavera, Isabelo de los Reyes, and the Production of Modern Knowledge), biography (Vicente Sotto: Maverick Senator; The Man Who Would be President: Serging Osme\u00f1a and Philippine Politics; Aboitiz: Family and Firm in the Philippines), history and politics (The War Against the Americans: Resistance and Collaboration in Cebu, 1899\u20131906; [co-ed.] From Marcos to Aquino: Local Perspectives on the Political Transition in the Philippines).\n<\/p>\n
\nApart from book-length works, Mojares has also produced occasional essays (collected in House of Memory; Waiting for Mariang Makiling: Essays in Philippine Cultural History; Isabelo\u2019s Archive; The Resil Mojares Reader; and Interrogations in Philippine Cultural History) that have done much to illuminate \u201cwhat is obscure, hidden, and marginal\u201d in a plurilingual, pluricultural Philippines. His works blur \u201cthe boundaries between academic and literary writing,\u201d while simultaneously building on, and questioning, the \u201cidea and performance of the archive\u2014capacious, diverse, makeshift, open-ended, and polymorphic, and one \u2018national\u2019 in its motive and ambition\u201d (Mojares, \u201cWriting the Archive,\u201d Manila Review Issue 5, Sept. 2014).\n<\/p>\n
\nThe perspectives Mojares brings to his study of Philippine history, politics, society, culture, and the arts are methodologically eclectic and capable of moving effortlessly between and across local, national, regional (subnational and supranational), and transnational scales.\n<\/p>\n
\nThis international conference celebrates the life, career, and writings of Resil B. Mojares. It aims not only to assess Professor Mojares\u2019s influence, but also to engage with the ideas, issues, and contexts brought up by his writings on and across various fields of inquiry.\n<\/p>\n
