The publication of Professor Reynaldo C Ileto’s Pasyon and Revolution: Popular Movements in the Philippines, 1840–1910 by the Ateneo de Manila University Press in 1979 was a watershed event in Philippine historiography. It reshaped the contours of Philippine history and many other disciplines. Ileto’s ideas on “history from below” inspired an entire generation of Filipino historians to critically evaluate historical sources, interrogate long-held theoretical assumptions, and adopt fresh perspectives in the study of Philippine history. Pasyon and Revolution rose to become one of the most influential books in Southeast Asian Studies. On 19 July 2012 the Ateneo de Manila University conferred the Gawad Tanghal ng Lahi to Professor Ileto.
This international conference aims to assess the influence of Professor Ileto in general, and of Pasyon and Revolution in particular, on Philippine historiography, on studies of nationalism and social movements, on theories of colonialism and postcolonialism, and on area studies and scholarship beyond the Philippines.
Scholars from the Philippines as well as Australia, Canada, India, Japan, Macau, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America will present over 60 scholarly research papers in this landmark conference.
The opening program will be held at the Leong Hall Auditorium, starting at 8:30 AM. Registration begins at 7:30 AM.
