    >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
    >or sessions at the congress are invited to contact the appropriate session
    >convenor no later than 31st July 2002.
