IPC Summer School for Doctoral Researchers on the Philippines Lecture by Ramon Guillermo, PhD

Abstract

 

An experimental approach to the construction/reconstruction, interpretation and comparison of textual ideological systems will be employed in this lecture. A bounded corpus consisting of four major social novels by the Tagalog novelist Lazaro Francisco (1898-1980) will be subjected to what might be called "collocation network analysis," wherein Tagalog political concepts which co-instantiate as collocates (within a limited textual span) are connected as nodes in a lexical network. Comparative analysis will then be used to develop a sharper and more distinct outline of what may be called an example of "Tagalog conservative thought."

About the IPC Summer School 

The IPC Summer School for Doctoral Researchers on the Philippines is an annual IPC program where the most promising PhD students in the social sciences or interdisciplinary programs from around the world are invited for an intensive series of workshops, seminars, and lectures. The theme of the 2014 International Summer School is “Historical and Ethnographic Approaches to Philippine Culture.” With this theme, the Summer School addresses questions about how historical and ethnographic approaches contribute to a closer understanding of Philippine social realities, what principles inform their conceptual and methodological orientations, and whether these approaches can be extended to other aspects of Philippine studies. This year's IPC Summer School moderators are Patricio N. Abinales, PhD and Ramon Guillermo, PhD.
