The Ateneo Institute of Literary Arts and Practices (AILAP), in collaboration with the journals ๐˜’๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฌ๐˜ข ๐˜’๐˜ถ๐˜ญ๐˜ต๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ข and ๐˜’๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฑ๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ, is now accepting applications for the 20th Ateneo National Writers Workshop (ANWW20), to be held at the Ateneo de Manila University campus on June 9-12, 2023.

This year’s workshop will focus on the possibilities of the form and practice of research, engaging across disciplines such as the humanities, social sciences, and physical and biological sciences. In particular, the workshop proposes to reconsider the essayistic spirit in research work, and thus invites projects that attempt to traverse between the scholarly and the poetic, and the critical and the creative. 

#ANWW20 seeks submissions that dare to rethink forms and methods of scholarly research, and thus encourages critical projects that are not confined in the typical classification of forms and genre, moving across the boundaries of visual, aural, digital, or performative modes. Moreover, ANWW20 is open for submissions from collaborations among artists (up to two representatives for a collective), as well as from fellows of previous iterations of ANWW. 

For this year’s workshop, fellows are expected to deliver short presentations based on their works-in-progress. After the workshop proper, revised versions of the fellows’ works may be considered for publication in ๐˜’๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฌ๐˜ข ๐˜’๐˜ถ๐˜ญ๐˜ต๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ข or ๐˜’๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฑ๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ. 

Interested applicants must submit an essay of 5,000 to 7,000 words in length, inclusive of bibliography and footnotes/endnotes; in the case of hybrid essays, the word count may be waived or adjusted to suit the form of submission. The essay should not have been previously published, nor should it be under consideration for other publications. This should be accompanied with an abstract, approximately 200-250 words, explaining the critical concerns of the essay. Projects to be submitted may take any of the following concerns as their points of departure: 

• Climate change, anthropocene, posthumanism, post-history, post-______;
• Translation and decolonization, translation studies;
• Geopolitics, the archipelago, island and tropical studies;
• Folklore, mythocriticism, the supernatural and the gothic; 
• Auto/ethnography, representations and practices of identities; 
• Audio-visual, cinematic, and other extra-textual modes of research; and
• Other propositions on forms and methods of inter-/multi-/transdisciplinary research.

Submitted works must be computerized on A4 bond paper, with 1” margins on all sides, in Garamond, size 12, and double-spaced (with exception to instances when it is necessary for the work to be in different format, in the case of which must be noted at least in the submission). The portfolio must have page numbers at the center of the footer, and a cover page bearing the title and the abstract of the essay. The author’s name should not appear anywhere in the submission. 

Portfolios, as well as the accomplished application form (which can be downloaded from nolog.link/s/ANWW20AppForm) should be submitted in PDF. Applications must be sent through nolog.link/s/ANWW20Submit. The deadline for submission is on April 1, 2023, Saturday.

As with the previous iterations of ANWW, submitted portfolios will not be evaluated according to genres (poetry, short story, essay, and play) or languages (Filipino and English). From all the applications to be received, eight (8) fellows will be chosen from all over the country. The names of the chosen fellows will be announced in late April. For further information and other inquiries, send a message through the AILAP Facebook page. 

ANWW is a yearly workshop organized by AILAP. Since 2001, in its nineteen versions, the workshop has given over 200 fellowships in creative writing to young writers from different parts of the country. ANWW focuses on the craft of such young writers, honing the crucial elements in their writing as a practice, art, and philosophical encounter that enables them to further partake in the literary community in the Philippines with the desire to deepen and give directions to national cultural practices. Furthermore, the AILAP also takes into consideration the intellectual tradition of Atenean education to encourage writers to initiate projects related to the history of ideas and cultural traditions in the country.

#ANWW20 is coorganized with ๐˜’๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฌ๐˜ข ๐˜’๐˜ถ๐˜ญ๐˜ต๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ข, the international refereed journal of language, literary, and cultural studies of the Department of English, ADMU; and ๐˜’๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฑ๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ, the refereed journal of language, literary, art, and cultural studies of the Department of Filipino, ADMU.
