Author Cecilia Brainard Gives Talk on UBEC: CEBU REIMAGINED, Cebuano Studies Center

January 19, 2022 by admin Leave a Comment

Via Bea Las­ti­mosa of the Uni­ver­si­ty of San Car­los Cebuano Stud­ies Center:

After a brief hia­tus, the Vicente Sot­to Lec­ture Series will resume with a lec­ture by renowned writer Cecil­ia Brainard on Feb­ru­ary 19, 2022 from 10:00 ‑11:30 AM, Philip­pine time.

NOTE: Philip­pine time; Sat. Feb. 19, 2022, 10–11:30 a.m. is Cal­i­for­nia time: Fri, Feb. 18, 2022, 6 ‑7:30 pm.

In her lec­ture titled “Ubec: Cebu Reimag­ined” Cecil­ia Manguer­ra Brainard talks about how she cre­at­ed her myth­i­cal set­ting of Ubec, which she uses in many of her short sto­ries and her three nov­els: When the Rain­bow God­dess Wept, Mag­dale­na, and The News­pa­per Wid­ow. She explains how cre­at­ing this myth­i­cal set­ting freed her up to reimag­ine Cebu and its inhab­i­tants. She talks about some of the fic­tion­al char­ac­ters who were inspired by peo­ple of Cebu.

Welcome!

I am a daugh­ter of the Philip­pines and an adopt­ed daugh­ter of Amer­i­ca. I have also trav­eled to many places so I am also a daugh­ter of the Earth. My expe­ri­ences have found their way into my sto­ries, which try to depict char­ac­ters caught in impor­tant moments in their lives, sit­u­a­tions that force them to act, make deci­sions, change. I try to see the world from my own point of view, not the dom­i­nant West­ern one, thus my inter­est in his­to­ry, cul­ture, and set­ting. But my char­ac­ters car­ry my sto­ries; they are the most impor­tant in my sto­ry-telling. I have to dive deep into them to under­stand their human­i­ty – their good­ness as well as their bad­ness, their beau­ty as well as their ugli­ness. Just like us. Just like each of us. I need to know where they came from, where they are now, so I under­stand where they are going. Just like us.
