Subject: EUROPHIL - Announcement
European Philippine Studies Conference, Alcala,
Spain 9-12 September 2001
ANNOUNCEMENT
The University of Alcala and the Spanish Pacific Studies Association
are pleased to announce the 4th European Philippine Studies Conference
(Europhil) to be held in Alcala, Spain, 9-12 September 2001. Europhil
is coordinated to follow directly on from the completion of the
Euroseas Conference in London.
The aim of Europhil is to increase the level of awareness of Philippine
Studies in Europe and to enhance contact between scholars of the
Philippines both within the continent and beyond. Previous successful
conferences have been held in Amsterdam (1991), London (1994) and, most
recently, Aix-en-Provence (1997).
The thematic title of the conference is The Philippines in Southeast
Asia and Beyond. While it is hoped to encourage discussion and generate
debate through comparative studies of Filipino society with those of
other nations and cultures within the region. Contributions from any
field or topic on Philippine Studies such as politics, economic
development, archaeology, gender, history, environment, are welcome.
The conference's keynote speaker is Benedict Anderson.
Contributors may either seek to join existing tentative panels as
outlined below or, where appropriate, propose new one or conferences
not related to any panel. The conference strongly encourages to put
together panels on language, gender or the history of the Archipelago
before contact with the West.
