SUMMARY:Making one’s place the center: The literary and philosophical wor
 d-views of Allan N. Derain
DESCRIPTION:The novelist\, artist and researcher at Ateneo de Manila Univer
 sity\, Quezon City\, Philippines\, chose the mythological creature of «As
 wang» to work out a political and esthetic approach to indegenous knowled
 ge of his country and broader island South-East-Asia. This approach search
 es for the conceptualization of conflict and transgression within the epic
  stories and cosmologies of Panay and Bicol\, two regions of the country. 
 His novels\, historical anthologies\, drawings and essays offer an opportu
 nity to view and analyze the contemporary world from the perspective of wo
 rking class\, marginalized positions. To understand the work of Allan N. D
 erain\, one has to consider late 19th-century intellectuals like Isabelo d
 e los Reyes\, the long tradition of marxism in the Philippines\, as well a
 s queer and feminist disccourse since the 1960ies. As translator of Derain
 ’s novel «Aswanglaut/Das Meer der Aswang»\, the work of Édouard Gliss
 ant\, Tiphaine Samoyault and Dipesh Chakrabarty on language\, colonialism 
 and translation has been very helpful.
