Call for Contributions for a Special Issue of Victoriographies: A Journal of Nineteenth-Century Writing, 1790-1914  “Victorian Necropolitics” Deadline 15 April 2022

From the elaborate description of the jeweled lamp in José Rizal’s El filibusterismo to the painting that is a focal point of Nick Joaquin’s Portrait of the Artist as Filipino, Philippine literature has a long history of engaging with the arts. Reflections on the visual and acoustic arts that appear in these and other novels, short stories, poems, and plays offer these writers the opportunity to comment on aesthetics, artistic value, and the institutionalization of culture and heritage.

Some possible inquiries to explore:

- How do descriptions of art function in Philippine literature?

- How do such descriptions serve as theories of art?
