The UP Diliman Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Development (OVCRD), in a recent email to UPDate Online, announced the online release of Humanities Diliman Vol. 20, No. 1, the publication’s July-December 2023 issue.
In her editor’s note, Jordana L. Pison, PhD wrote, “We close 2023 with an issue that brings together contributions from scholars of different research backgrounds working individually or collaboratively. The threads of discussions are interdisciplinary in method, weaving in arguments drawn from various fields such as history, literature, film, visual arts, and video games. By engaging with cultural texts which apply different frameworks, the studies in this issue are sites of convergence across disciplines, thus providing readers with new considerations and different dimensions of cultural materials.”
