> To the rare extent to which Philippine literature in Spanish is recognized
> to exist, the tradition is almost entirely identified with the life and
> oeuvre of José Rizal, the late-19th century author of the novels Noli me
> tangere and El filibusterismo and the poem "Mi último adiós." The
> appearance of Filipino fiction and poetry in Spanish precedes Rizal,
> however, and creative publications in other genres as well thrived in
> diverse and continuous ways for many decades thereafter.
>
> In the past century, a scattering of published surveys and graduate theses
> has sought to describe the key authors and texts of Philippine literature
> in Spanish, but virtually no sustained analytical scholarship on
> particular literary works, outside those by Rizal, has been produced. The
> object of this Forum Kritika is to encourage the creation of such a
> critical corpus and thereby initiate long-lasting investigations into the
> tradition, perhaps the most unknown in the Spanish-speaking world and
> among all Asian literatures in Western languages.
>
> Kritika Kultura will publish four to six papers on Philippine literature
> in Spanish in the August 2012 or February 2013 issue. All topics on
> specific texts of the tradition are welcome, but in order to diversify the
> existing range of scholarship, authors are urged to submit essays that do
> not focus exclusively on Rizal. Theoretical and/or comparative approaches
> to texts are particularly welcome, as are essays on any literature,
> defined broadly, produced in Chabacano in any of its variants
> (Zamboangueño, Caviteño, Ermitaño, etc.).
>
> All submissions will be subject to peer review. Essays should be 5000-7000
> words long and submitted as a Word document to Adam Lifshey, guest editor
> of this Forum Kritika, at AML58@georgetown.edu by February 1, 2012. An
> abstract of 250-400 words should accompany each submission. Regarding
> style and format, all essays should follow the guidelines of the most
> recent MLA handbook.
>
> Kritika Kultura is a refereed electronic journal of the Ateneo de Manila
> University and is available at
>
> http://kritikakultura.ateneo.net/.
> It is indexed by the MLA and other major databases.
