Description
Summary:Excerpt: In the school year 2014–15, Resil Mojares delivered a series of lectures at the Ateneo de Manila University as part of the master visiting teacher series sponsored by the School of Humanities of the university. Six of those lectures and two new papers make up Interrogations in Philippine Cultural History. The papers are just as the title of the book promises; they interrogate topics in various areas that constitute, to use a dated term, “Filipiniana” chapters in local and national history, specimens of Philippine literature, and approaches to Philippine studies, among other things. Primarily intended for a student audience, many of the papers are exploratory rather than conclusive, intended to provoke further studies or to illustrate a methodology.
