FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
September 9-11 1999
Conference on
CALL
AND
THE LEARNING COMMUNITY
This will be the eighth biennial conference to be held in Exeter on
Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL). Previous conferences have
allowed not only experts in the field, but all interested parties, to meet
and discuss problems and progress in CALL in a relaxed atmosphere. Many of
the papers have been published in Computer Assisted Language Learning. An
International Journal (Swets & Zeitlinger), and bear witness to the weighty
discoveries and research into this important area of modern education. If
we are to work together and share our knowledge, an occasion such as the
next conference provides a wonderful forum for us to do so.
The estimated cost, with en-suite accommodation in the new Postgraduate
Centre, centrally situated on the University campus, for full board,
Conference fee and a copy of the Proceedings is 140 pounds sterling - 95
pounds for non-residents.
Proposals are invited by February 28 1999 for papers (25 mins) on any
aspect of CALL, but, in particular, topics dealing with CALL and Learning
in the Community. Papers will hopefully lead to submissions to the journal,
Computer Assisted Language Learning.

UNIVERSITY OF EXETER
SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
19-21 APRIL 1999
The Adventure of Religious Pluralism in Early-Modern France
It is intended to hold a three-day colloquium on the above topic (see below
for more ample details) at the University of Exeter in April 1999. It will
provide an opportunity to discuss more fully issues raised by the
celebrations surrounding the quatercentenary of the Edict of Nantes. The
organisers (Mark Greengrass, Sheffield; Penny Roberts, Warwick; and Keith
Cameron, Exeter) invite you to submit abstracts of papers for consideration
as soon as possible.
The Adventure of Religious Pluralism in Early-Modern France
This colloquium is to be held in the year which follows the 400th
anniversary of the pacification at Nantes in 1598 which brought the French
'wars of religion' to a close. It cannot be termed however, a conventional
'commemorative' conference (as the date suggests), for there are many,
lavishly conceived conferences of this king currently being planned for
1998 in France. Simple commemoration is not a sufficient reason for
studying a historical and cultural event. A significant historical - and
cultural - problem (and one that is currently exercising the minds of
historians and literary historians) is, however, worth defining and
studying collectively. This is planned as a working colloquium where the
atmosphere will be convivial and informal. It will aim to publish
subsequently a volume of studies.
The 'problem' is one that has been created by strong historiographical
traditions. On the one hand, there is a residual and powerful protestant,
confessional tradition that interprets the Edict of Nantes as one of the
defining moments in its history. The pacification was the moment when
legitimate protestant rights of identity were recognised. At the same time,
the edict contained within it the seeds of the later, and inevitable,
betrayal and revocation. Bourbon and royalist traditions interpret the
edict as a triumphal 'politique' act that enabled the absolute monarchy to
reunite France at a critical moment and lay the foundations for the
consolidation of the French state in the seventeenth century. The
difficulty with these traditions is that they rely for their interpretative
weight upon a retrospective writing of the past. Our problem is to recreate
the sense of 'adventure' into the unknown that was associated with the
edicts of pacification. How was it that the largest and most coherent
monarchy in Europe could possibly contemplate the acceptance and
integration of a substantial religious minority into the realm? It would
have been much easier to have attempted the kind of religious pluralism
afforded by the German Reich after 1555, or later in the Netherlands, where
religious diversity was eventually secured by degrees of political
separation. Integrative pluralism of the kind attempted by the French state
was a much more ambitious adventure altogether.
The fact that the French state embarked upon such an adventure leads us to
ask complementary questions about the nature of that state as well as
early-modern French society and its cultural life. How were the edicts of
pacification enforced in practical terms? We know that everything in
sixteenth and early seventeenth-century Europe was mediated and 'brokered'.
How did this process work for the edicts of pacification? Were there
greater degrees of pluralism in its intellectual life than we have
previously imagined? What comparisons can be drawn between the privileges
granted to other groups in society and those granted to the Huguenots? Can
regional or local examples tell us more about the practical degrees of
toleration that existed and upon which the edicts of pacification built?
Can cultural and literary historians explain more clearly for us how the
conservative legal traditions of France managed to justify to themselves
and others this extraordinary adventure into what must have seemed like
dangerous plurality?
The sessions at the colloquium will depend to some degree on the papers
that we secure. We shall invite participants to prepare outline synopses of
papers of about 6,000 words in length which they will be asked to summarise
in 20 minute presentations. Each session of two or three such papers will
have a commentator who will have read the papers in their entirety and
prepare a commentary on them to focus our discussion. Those who are
interested in participating are also invited to submit synopses
independently for consideration by the conference organisers. There may be
limited funds available to defray the costs of post-graduate or
post-doctoral students. The draft programme will be available in September
1998. The final programme will be circulated in January 1999.
Accommodation will be provided in the recently built Post-Graduate Centre
situated on the main campus of Exeter University.
If you are interested in attending please complete and return the
reservation slip. Invoices will be issued on 1 December 1998 and, for
administrative reasons, we expect payment by 15 January 1999. If you wish
to pay in advance of this date you may do so making your cheque/money order
payable to the University of Exeter.

This conference is a the work of ACO*HUM, Advanced Computing in the
Humanities:a "Socrates thematic network project" aimed at developing an
international dimension for investigating the educational impact of new
technologies in all humanities disciplines.
"The SOCRATES/ERASMUS programme of the European Commission has
established thematic network projects in order to develop selected themes i=
n
higher education and give them an international dimension.
"Advanced Computing in the Humanities (ACO*HUM) is one of twenty-eight
networks started in 1996. The theme of our network is the increasing use of
advanced computing in teaching and learning in the humanities, with its
problems and possibilities.
"About one hundred European universities, professional associations and
other organizations find this theme so important that they have chosen to
work on it together, rather than individually. In this way, they hope to co=
pe
with the challenge for universities to change due to the new technologies a=
nd
their effects on our society.
"ACO*HUM is investigating the impact of new information and
communication technologies (ICT) on curriculum content, scientific
methodology and learning methods at institutions for higher education. The
project is also paying attention to the relevance of new technologies for
humanities content providers, such as museums, libraries, and archives."
