Organization

The Federation, originally founded in Oslo in 1928 as the Commission Internationale d'Histoire Littéraire Moderne and subsequently reorganized in its present form in 1951 following upon the formation of U.N.E.S.C.O., currently comprises eighteen international academic associations, each of which falls into one of the following categories prescribed by the F.I.L.L.M. Statutes:

(a) International Associations dedicated to the furtherance of studies of the language and/or literature of one particular nation;

(b) International Associations dedicated to the furtherance of studies in a subject or subjects pertaining to a number of languages and/or literatures;

(c) International Associations dedicated to the furtherance of studies in modern and medival languages and/or literatures in general. At the discretion of the Committee, the term "International Association" in this category may be deemed to include continental associations outside Europe.

Membership

There is no individual membership of F.I.L.L.M., and individual scholars automatically become a member by being a subscribing member of one of the constituent member-associations. A list of the present member-associations, with the name of the Secretary-General, is attached, for information. The total number of individual subscribing scholars to these associations now exceeds 40,000, located in 85 different countries.

Congresses

The F.I.L.L.M. itself is one of the twelve constituent member- federations of the International Council for Philosophy and Humanistic Studies of U.N.E.S.C.O. Its chief aim is to bring together scholars of all nations working in the field of modern languages. In particular, it organizes, every three years, International Congresses to which every individual member of each member-association is invited. In recent years International Congresses have been held in Islamabad (1969); Cambridge, England (1972); Sydney (1975); Aixen-Provence (1978); Tempe, Arizona (1981); Budapest (1984); Guelph, Ontario (1987); Novi Sad (1990); Brasilia (1993); Regensburg (1996). The 1999 Congress will be held in Harare, Zimbabwe.

In view of the extrememly large number of members of the Modern Language Association of America, it is not possible to send individual notices of Congresses to all members of the M.L.A., but P.M.L.A. regularly publishes relevant information about the F.I.L.L.M. and its Congresses under 'Forthcoming Meetings;. Similarly, other member-associations carry news of F.I.L.L.M. activities in the columns of their respective journals.
