Class Details

In this course, we will concentrate on expanding your vocabulary and polishing your written and oral skills while focusing on the analysis and discussion of French and Francophone cultures and the concepts that define them. The theme of love will serve as a common thread to texts by various authors from different countries and time periods. We will explore key myths and practices linked to national identity in France, Vietnam, the French Caribbean, Francophone West Africa and North Africa by placing these texts in their social and historical contexts. Topics of discussion will include: What is the function of tales? How is a national identity constructed? What does it mean to be French (today)? Which are contemporary topics in the Francophone world? (How) Does writing give legitimacy to decentralized voices? Conducted in French.
