> >CALL  FOR  PAPERS
> >The theme of AULLA Congress XXXII, 'Knowledge and Nation,' encourages an
> >exploration of the relationship between two fundamental issues at the
> >beginning of the new millennium: the ways in which knowledge is
> >constructed and transmitted, the ways in which we attempt to define and
> >delimit national identity.  In our information society, and in an age of
> >increasing globalisation, it seems important to reconsider whether there
> >is an integral relationship between the creation of knowledge, the
> >concepts of citizenship and nation, and the specifics of geography,
> >history, language and culture.  As the focus of an AULLA conference, the
> >theme invites us in particular to consider how languages and literatures
> >influence, and are influenced by, our ideas about 'knowledge' and
> >'nation'.  The conference welcomes papers from a wide range of
> >disciplines, from classical literature to children's literature, from
> >European languages to postcolonial studies. We hope that papers will
> >embrace an equally wide diversity of theoretical approaches and
> >methodologies, and that the theme will spark ideas and debate rather than
> >preclude them.  (Offers of papers not explicitly on the theme are also
> >welcome.)
> >
> >Papers should be of either 20 or 40 minutes duration, and sessions should
> >be of 90 minutes duration. For individual papers, send paper title, a 100
> >word abstract and an indication of length (20 or 40 minutes), to the
> >appropriate session convenor, by 31st July 2002.  Please include your
> >email address if you have one.  The paper will be scheduled in an
> >appropriate session.
> >
> >[Please  note: a list of speakers and paper titles will be placed on the
> >website in due course; we hope to add email addresses also, and would
> >appreciate an indication of whether or not you would like your email
> >address to be included in the list.]
> >
> >Sessions may be organised by individuals, academic societies, university
> >departments or publications and will consist of three 20 minute papers, or
> >a 40 minute and 20 minute paper, organised into a 90 minute session
> >(including discussion time).
> >Session organisers should contact Associate Professor Harry Ricketts in
> >advance of the call for papers deadline. Those who wish to present papers
