Sangandaan 2003 International Conference

Conference Goal

To commemorate one hundred years of Philippine-American relations, the
conference will confront, understand, and come to terms with the fact of
American colonization in order to hasten the processes of decolonization and
nation-building in the Philippines, on the one hand; and the creation of a
strong identity and galvanization of all Filipino-Americans into a dynamic
force in the United States, on the other.

Conference Objectives

Within the perspective of reflexivity for empowerment, Filipino, American
and
Filipino-American academics and cultural workers now come together to:

1. examine the arts and media produced by Filipinos, Americans, and
Filipino-Americans during the processes of colonization and decolonization
both in the Philippines and the United States in the last one hundred years;
and

2. explore the ways by which the arts and media produced by Filipinos and
Filipino-Americans can utilize the legacies of colonization so that Filipino
and Filipino-Americans can strengthen their own cultural identities and
thereby empower themselves as persons and as citizens of their respective
nations.

Conference Guidelines

1. The Conference will highlight the arts and media produced by Filipinos,
Americans and Filipino-Americans in connection with:

y the annexation of the Philippines, and Filipino resistance to American
occupation at the turn of the century;
y the Americanization of Filipino culture and the impact of Philippine
culture on the
American way of life;
y Filipino imitation, rejection, assimilation or transformation of elements
from
American culture during and after the American colonial period;
y the Filipino diaspora and the expression of rights of Filipinos and
Filipino-Americans
in the US in the last century, and
y the continuing definition and affirmation of Filipino cultural identities
both in the
Philippines and in the United States.

2. Paper writers may come from different disciplines and may use varied
approaches for their study of arts, media or other cultural forms which may
include among others:

y the literary arts (oral and written, poetry or prose)
the performing arts (music, dance, theatre, or combinations thereof)
y the visual arts (indigenous and indigenized, traditional arts, plastic and
graphic
arts, photography, fashion)
y urban planning and public arts (monuments, historical markers, parks,
historical
sites, streets, museums)
y architecture (domestic and public, vernacular and formal)
y print media (newspapers, magazines, journals, comics, and alternative
publications)
y radio (news programs, dramas, musical variety shows, special features)
y television (news, dramas, music and dance programs, talk shows,
documentaries, and other features)
y film and video (narrative, documentary, experimental, and others),
y culinary arts and
y multimedia arts

3. Papers may focus on single or comparative themes and may delve into
questions
involving media and art works, artistic styles and movements, artists and
media persons, audiences, patronage, genre of arts and media, venues, media
or arts education, cultural heritage and conservation, cultural promotion,
media or arts institutions, media, arts and government, and other related
topics.
