♦ MESSAGE FROM PSCJ 2006 ♦Dear Our Colleagues:
We are happy to announce the First Philippine Studies Conference of Japan(PSCJ) to be held in Tokyo on November 11-12, 2006. This conference, the first to beheld under the initiative of more than a dozen scholars in Japan specializing on thestudy of the Philippines, in conjunction with the International Committee on Philippine
Studies Conferences will revolve around the theme of new dimensions in Philippine
studies in Japan. More specifically, the conference hopes to address the similarities anddifferences that both Japan and the Philippines have shown in the historical and current
global context.
Having been under American occupation and control at different points in time,
Japan and the Philippines share a similar colonial experience under a Western power,
which has left an indelible imprint on both Japanese and Philippine societies.
Postcolonial Japanese and Philippine societies still manifest vestiges of their common
experience with American rule, while experiencing the growing interactions between
them with respect to various cultural, political and economic issues. The conference will
explore these multifaceted similarities, differences or interactions between thePhilippines and Japan in the context of emerging multicultural societies in the Asia
region at the starting decade of the 21st century. This will enable the conference
participants to explore relatively newer but seemingly more complex issues involving
both countries, such as the increasing number of Filipino residents in Japan, or Japanesecultural assimilation into Filipino society or vice versa, through intermarriage or labor
migration. In this way we will acquire a better understanding of the current dynamics ofPhilippine-Japanese relationships.
Please accept our deep gratitude for your cooperation and understanding,Sincerely yours,

Yoshiko Nagano
Yoshiko Nagano
Chairperson
The Organizing Committee ofThe First Philippine Studies Conference of Japan (PSCJ)
