OVERVIEW:
It has been ten years
since the Japanese Studies program convened a conference and published a
compiled volume that interrogated complex Philippine-Japan relations beyond
economic and political structures. Edited by Dr. Lydia Yu-Jose,
"Past, Love, Money and Much More" features articles exploring
Philippine-Japan relations and issues surrounding World War II, Japan's
cultural diplomacy, intercultural marriages, and migration.
Honouring Dr. Yu-Jose’s
leadership and scholarship, the conference aims to revisit the issues explored
in this volume while expanding its themes through new approaches
and perspectives stemming from a new generation of scholars and students
who are interrogating shifting relationships between the Philippines, Southeast
Asia, and Japan. Scholars are encouraged to reevaluate pre-war and
post-war relationships through various approaches, examine Japanese culture,
politics and economy in an increasingly transcultural and hybrid global
landscape, and survey the various structures that influence movements between
Southeast Asia and Japan.
a. How does Southeast Asia
understand Japan? How has it changed through the years?
b. Is Southeast Asia still
interested in Japan? In what ways? How has it changed through the years?
c. What are (some of )the
new approaches and perspectives that explain (or define) Southeast Asia-Japan
relations?
d. How would Southeast
Asia-Japan go beyond the capital transfers as well as the cultural
diplomacy?
e. How would Southeast
Asia possibly change Japan?
f. How would these affect
Japanese studies in Southeast Asia?
