Baka Naman Pwede? - Politics of Aesthetics, the Graphic Novel
In this episode, we will discuss political aesthetics, its importance as a topic, and the experiences that led to the crafting of a university course around the subject matter. We will be joined by Mr. Miguel Paolo Rivera of the Department of Political Science, Mr. Roy Tristan Agustin of the Department of English, and Mr. Antonio Rafael Elicaño of the Department of Fine Arts of the Ateneo de Manila de University. This episode will be hosted by Mr. Skilty Labastilla.
The program, Baka Naman Pwede?, is a knowledge dissemination initiative of the Institute of Philippine Culture that offers a culturally sensitive, critical, evidence-based, and down-to-earth analysis of contemporary social issues using a multidisciplinary social sciences approach. This initiative is premised upon the principle that knowledge creation and dissemination should be genuinely collaborative processes that provide space for multiple experiences, perspectives and problem-solving approaches to be articulated, recognized, and applied.
