AULLA XXXII
32nd Congress
9-14 February 2003
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.
