SUMMARY:Blumentritt Beyond Rizal: Revisiting the Scholarship and Politics of a European Filipinist
LOCATION:REC A2.05
DESCRIPTION:The roundtable reexamines the life and work of Austrian-Bohemia
 n scholar Ferdinand Blumentritt beyond his association with Filipino nation
 alist José Rizal. Without undermining the significance of their friendship,
  the participants explore both Blumentritt’s wider engagement and reception
  in the exchange of knowledge between Europe and Southeast Asia in the late
  nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The questions are multifaceted: 
 What was the significance of the other scholarly and political connections 
 Blumentritt cultivated? How did the Spanish and Americans of various politi
 cal persuasions value, utilize, or dismiss his intellectual expertise? How 
 were his writings received and assessed by scholars, propagandists, and imp
 erialists? How do we view his place in the history of knowledge production,
  in fields such as ethnology, philology, folklore and the emergent Philippi
 ne studies?\n\nBy revisiting Blumentritt beyond Rizal, the roundtable consi
 ders politics and scholarship as distinct yet overlapping spheres of activi
 ty, in which Blumentritt’s position, by virtue of his expertise and politic
 al connection, made him an important voice in both areas. Ultimately, the r
 oundtable uses the example of Blumentritt as a springboard to understand th
 e relation of knowledge, politics and personal entanglements that complicat
 es the frameworks of imperial and nationalist ideologies. This hopes to enc
 ourage conversations on similar scholars who, despite or because of their f
 oreignness, informed people’s understanding of their history, culture and s
 ociety.
