Event Details and Program

Ma. Cristina M. Alikpala
Asst. Vice President for University Partnerships and Internationalization

Professor Jorge Mojarro (University of Santo Tomas, Manila, Philippines) will show how the two literatures—American and Philippine—were developing alongside each other during the colonial period. His presentation will draw on the MOOC offered by the DIGIPHILIT Project.

Professor Emmanuelle Sinardet (University Paris-Nanterre, Paris, France) will show how literary sources, in particular Filipino literary sources in Spanish, allow us to identify the construction of a national imaginary, with its allegories, representations, recurring topics, identity referents, and archetypes. She will draw on the MOOC offered by the DIGIPHILIT Project and also look at the recurrence of these images in the pictorial arts.
