Reimagining Cebu by Cecilia Brainard on YouTube

April 27, 2021 by admin Leave a Comment

Here’s the com­plete keynote address by Fil­ipino Amer­i­can writer Cecil­ia Brainard about REIMAGINING CEBU. This was at the Cebu Tech­no­log­i­cal Uni­ver­si­ty’s Lit­er­ary Con­gress, April 23, 2021. (It’s over an hour long, so watch it when you have time.)

 Her talk address­es the fol­low­ing questions: 

1. What’s your idea of the Fil­ipino con­scious­ness in light of the theme “500 Years of Writ­ing the Fil­ipino World­view)? How should writ­ers and read­ers respond to it? 
2. May we know the cre­ative process behind your myth­i­cal set­ting “Ubec: and any theoretical/philosophical under­pin­ning? How does being a writer over­seas influ­ence or shape your vision of Cebu? 
3. What does it take for a writer to con­tin­ue work­ing in this time of Covid19? Who is Cecil­ia Manguer­ra Brainard in the post-pan­dem­ic era? 
4. What advice can you offer our Eng­lish majors in terms of read­ing our own writ­ers and writ­ing for the future generation? 
After her talk, Q&A fol­lows. This excerpt is cour­tesy of Cebu Tech­no­log­i­cal University.

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.
