Sariling atin: Ang nagsasariling komunidad na pangkomunikasyon sa disiplinang Araling Pilipino

Abstract

This paper discusses the possibility of a Philippine Studies “community” (or interconnected “communities”) of researchers working within “communication communities”. From a general overview, an examination will be made regarding the application of this concept with respect to issues of institutionalization, discourse, research, publication, circulation, language, translation, philosophy, and the various approaches to Philippines Studies. Special emphasis will be given to the key role of strengthening the various forms of internal interconnection between individuals and groups of researchers within Philippine Studies towards developing what may be called an “autonomous Philippine Studies”.
