Le monde francophone AS.210.409 (01)
This course examines both sociolinguistic and cultural aspects of the French-speaking world and the relationship between la francophonie and France itself. We focus on five regions—Sub-Saharan Africa (Cameroun and Senegal), Northern Africa (Morocco and Algeria), the Caribbean (Martinique and Haiti), North America (Quebec), and Europe (Belgium)—and consider language features unique to those regional varieties, the status of French as opposed to other indigenous languages and creoles, the demographics of their speakers, and the representation of their culture in media (particularly in short stories, poetry, song, and film). A semester-long research project on one of these main areas will allow students to combine their study of the French-speaking world with other disciplines of interest to them.

Du texte à la scène : quand le roman compose avec l’art vivant AS.212.341 (01)
Quel lien existe-t-il entre la littérature, art du texte et des livres, que l’on découvre seul et en silence, et les arts de la scène, arts de l’instant, éphémères et publics? On cherchera ici à répondre à cette question pour saisir les transferts entre ces deux réalités. La musique, art de la composition, prendra une place prépondérante dans ce cours, mais on s’intéressera aussi à la danse, l’opéra, le cirque ou la performance. L’approche sera ici volontairement sensible, à travers un corpus de textes modernes et contemporains allant de Perec au slam, en passant par Jean Echenoz, pour tenter de comprendre "ce qu’il se passe" quand littérature et arts "vivants" se croisent.

Cultures of Love AS.212.436 (01)
From the time of its invention in the Hispano-Arabic world, as a kind of counterfeit religion, love has been a paradoxical, transgressive phenomenon: mystical, adulterous, con game, parlor game, alienation or self-affirmation. We’ll explore a few crucial moments in its long history, from Socrates's female teacher Diotima to the reality show Love is Blind, and we'll bring a literary, sociological and anthropological approach to the challenges posed by love's protean discourse. Works by Plato, Saint Augustine, Ibn Hazm, the abbess Héloïse, Sartre, Beauvoir, Barthes, Ernaux, Houellebecq, and others. Readings and discussion in French.

Spring 2023
French Theater: Reading and Practice AS.212.454 (01)
Reading modern theater in French can be exciting: a battle waged with words instead of swords, a battle of wit and of style. The literature of the nineteenth century was marked by major literary battles opposing young Romantic writers against an old school of Academicians. This battle was fought largely in and through the theatre. In this course the classroom space itself becomes a stage in which to reenact or rehearse some of these battles, through careful readings of texts and by exploring all possible literary contexts. Participants will read together a number of plays as well as take part in collaborative learning and creative activities. Readings to include texts by Césaire, Dumas, Hugo, Marivaux, Musset, Scribe, Sartre, and Vigny. Readings and discussion in French.

Transitions in French Filmmaking: From the Silent Era to the Second World War AS.212.709 (01)
In this seminar in the poetics of cultural forms, we will examine the half-century period in France (1895-1945) during which narrative film language evolved out of proto-cinema to coalesce in the multi-reel feature and the serial, then, after a brief but fecund period of experimentation in non-narrative creative modes (dada, Surrealism, Epstein’s “cinepoetry”), weathered the transition to the “talkies” (le parlant) to diverse effect. That transition to sound yielded both masterworks of poetic realism (Renoir, Duvivier) and countless literary adaptations that sought, and won, broad commercial success (Pagnol, Guitry). Rather than prejudge the esthetic and ideological interest of those works of the 1930s which film historians tend to associate with France’s cinematic maturity, we will attend to the fissures through which the seventh art continues to disclose nostalgia for its (not so) silent past, and to the conservatism that the sound feature imposed on filmic expression. Conversely, looking backwards, we will pay heed to the ways silent film in the 1910s and 1920s itself superseded, through targeted appeals to the sensorial imaginary, its medium-specific limits. Taught in English; readings in English and French (reading knowledge strongly recommended).

FYS: French Identities: Race, Gender, Religion, and Sexual Orientation in Contemporary France AS.001.204 (01)
How should a just society come to terms with persistent inequalities? France, the country of liberty, equality and fraternity, that offered sanctuary from US racism to such figures as James Baldwin, Richard Wright, and Miles Davis and legalized same-sex marriages two years before the US did, is now deeply divided. This First-Year Seminar explores the tensions and contradictions between the universalist and color-blind ideals of the French republic and the realities of discrimination in contemporary French society. Topics studied include the status of the concept of race in political discourse; the law forbidding signs of religious belief in the public schools and responses to it; how American initiatives like Black Lives Matter, #metoo and critical gender studies have both sparked French activism and political movements and generated a powerful backlash; and what Americans can learn about how to fight injustice—and how not to—from the French. We will look at a wide variety of texts, including writings by activists, historians, and journalists, along with sociologies of the police and young adult novels, and will listen to popular French music and watch a number of contemporary French films.

Medical French : Santé et Société AS.210.306 (01)
In this interactive language course (not exclusively designed for pre-meds), students learn how to communicate in the fields of public health, medicine, and humanitarian aid in a French-speaking environment. While acquiring new lexical and syntactic tools weekly, students examine and debate the current structures and issues of the French health system, through a variety of media (governmental websites, mainstream and specialized newspapers, movies, blogs, first-account books, etc.). A final project is tailored to each student’s own area of interest. Please note that this course is taught by a language instructor, not a medical expert. Recommended course background: AS.210.301 or AS.210.302 or permission of instructor. Students interested in taking the exam for the French For Health Diploma should contact the instructor ([email protected]) and visit the following website: https://www.lefrancaisdesaffaires.fr/tests-diplomes/diplomes-francais-professionnel-dfp/sante/

Illness and Immunity in Postwar French Literature AS.212.337 (01)
What does immunity have to do with literary studies? We will explore this question by examining the concept of immunity, not only as a medical and legal concept, but also as a cultural phenomenon. Students will analyze what “immunity” can teach us about the ideas of tolerance and defense and about the ways we come into contact and build relationships with others. Through attention to French novels and graphic novels, students will investigate the grammars and images linked to the concept of immunity and research how these languages and images shape how we think of mental and physical illnesses, vulnerability, exposure, as well as how they permeate body representations in French literature. Secondary sources such as philosophical texts, movies, and photographs will embed these narratives into larger issues within the history of medicine and postwar French literature.

Étrange et Étranger: The Fascination of the Unknown in French Literature & Arts AS.212.411 (01)
This multi-media course will focus on the various representations of the double theme Étrange/Étranger in French literature, culture and society of the 19th and 20th centuries through a series of films/documentaries, poems, plays, novels, and short stories. What is strange? Who is a stranger? While close readings of texts and films will seek above all to shed light on the complex meanings of the two themes of l’étrange et l’étranger (strange/stranger, foreign/foreigner) as they have appeared in literature, philosophy, historiography, and the other arts, we will at the same time highlight the artistic, historical, and intellectual issues related to the opposing figures (i.e. Citizen, Friend, Slave, Native) as they are represented in the major literary movements of this long period, notably romanticism, realism, symbolism, naturalism, surrealism, and existentialism. Conducted entirely in French.

Passages in French & Travaux Pratiques : Writing a Conference Paper AS.212.734 (01)
This graduate seminar is uniquely designed to link scholarly practice and doctoral research in conjunction with the 48th Annual Nineteenth-Century French Studies Colloquium on the theme "Passage." This is a research seminar/discussion on more than two hundred detailed proposals and the production of a publishable paper on the theme of Passage in French and Francophone literature throughout the 19th century. Our intention is to introduce through these proposals the theme of the “Passage” in depth like any graduate seminar. The activities in this course aim to emphasize a practical way of approaching two main tasks, which are to attend the colloquium as a scholar and to develop week by week a publishable and reviewable communication on the subject. We will focus on enhancing independent research and writing abilities as well as the opportunity to engage with scholars professionally in an academic setting. During the semester, each doctoral candidate will have the opportunity to explore a particular problematic of their choice on the theme of Passage as well as to interact with the participants in the colloquium who have met her/his areas of interest. Through discussions, hands-on practice, and project-based activities, the seminar will thus guide students through the process of producing a conference paper for a one-day symposium at the end of the Fall semester.

Diderot and the French Enlightenment AS.212.737 (01)
Denis Diderot's early work was dominated by his work on the natural sciences and the Encyclopédie. In later years, his literature addressed the social applications of knowledge: economic, anthropological, political, and moral issues structured his aesthetic concerns. As an author in continual conversation with his contemporaries and who was instrumental in the creation of an intellectual community, his fiction, philosophical texts and critical works serve as the ideal lens to bring into focus the peculiarities of the French Enlightenment. Among the texts to be considered will be “De l’Interprétation de la nature”, articles from the Encyclopédie, the Supplément au voyage de Bougainville, Le Rêve de d’Alembert, the Salon de 1767, Le Neveu de Rameau, extracts from his Essai sur les règnes de Claude et de Néron. Reading in French, class in English.
