Tout en faisant mine de perpétuer une tradition classique, les écrivains des Lumières en minaient l'idéologie sous-jacente. (Le Menthéour,R. -- Division III: Humanities)

FREN B213 Theory in Practice:Critical Discourses in the Humanities Fall 2011 This seminar provides exposure to influential 20th-century French thinkers. It will examine three major currents: Postcolonial Theory; Feminist Theory; Post-Structuralist Theory. The primary goal here is to introduce students to exciting and difficult critical thought that will prove useful to their future studies and will begin to develop necessary critical skills. While the materials covered are primarily grounded in French intellectual history, the course will also spend time situating these intellectual currents in broader transnational and transdisciplinary contexts. This is a required course for the French major. Course taught in English and serving the humanities. (Dostal,R. -- Division III: Humanities) Cross-listed as PHIL B253 Cross-listed as COML B213 Cross-listed as ENGL B213

FREN B227 Topics in Modern Planning Not offered 2011-12 This course examines topics in planning as defined by specific areas (modern European metropoles) or themes (the impact of oil). It is a writing intensive course. (Hein,C. -- Division I: Social Science) Cross-listed as CITY B227 Cross-listed as GERM B227 Cross-listed as HART B227

Back to top

FREN B248 Histoire des Femmes en France Not offered 2011-12 A study of women and gender in France from the Revolution to the present. The course will pay particular attention to the role of women in the French Revolution (declarations, manifestos, women's clubs, salons, etc.) and in the post-revolutionary era, as well as to the more contemporary feminist manifestations in France since Simone de Beauvoir's Deuxième Sexe and the flow of feminist texts produced in the wake of May '68. (Mahuzier,B. -- Division III: Humanities)

Back to top

FREN B251 La Mosaïque France Not offered 2011-12 A study that opposes the discourse of exclusion, xenophobia, racism and the existence of a mythical, unique French identity by examining 20th-century French people and culture in their richness and variety, based on factors such as gender, class, region, colonization and decolonization, immigration and ethnic background. Films and texts by Begag, Beauvoir, Cardinal, Carles, Duras, Ernaux, Jakez Helias, Modiano, and Zobel. (Cherel,B. -- Division III: Humanities) Cross-listed as CITY B251

Back to top

FREN B254 Teaching (in) the Postcolony: Schooling in African Fiction Spring 2012 This seminar will examine a small selection of novels from Francophone and Anglophone Africa, critical essays, and two films, to gain insight into the multiple and often contradictory forces that dictate the postcolonial child's experience of education, broadly defined, on a postcolonial African continent. (Higginson,P.)

Back to top

FREN B258 L'espace réinventé: Paris: rêve d'urbaniste, songe d'écrivain Not offered 2011-12 The cityscape is a dominant figure in the 19th and 20th century, at a time where the notion of "writing the city" really develops, influencing and even structuring beliefs. Urban theory and cultural criticism will supplement literary analysis as we consider how novelists Mercier, Rétif de la Bretonne, Balzac, Hugo, and Zola, and poets Baudelaire and Rimbaud have sought to make visible, through novelistic and lyric voices, the evolution of the perception of the city as architectural, social, and political body since the end of the 18th century. (Giraud,M. -- Division III: Humanities) Cross-listed as CITY B258

Back to top

(Le Menthéour, Zeiss) (Peysson-Zeiss,A., Le Menthéour,R.)

Back to top

FREN B302 Le printemps de la parole féminine: femmes écrivains des débuts Not offered 2011-12 This study of selected women authors from the French Middle Ages, Renaissance and Classical periods--among them, Marie de France, the trobairitz, Christine de Pisan, Louise Labé, Marguerite de Navarre, and Madame de Lafayette--examines the way in which they appropriate and transform the male writing tradition and define themselves as self-conscious artists within or outside it. Particular attention will be paid to identifying recurring concerns and structures in their works, and to assessing their importance to female writing: among them, the poetics of silence, reproduction as a metaphor for artistic creation, and sociopolitical engagement. (Armstrong,G. -- Division III: Humanities) Cross-listed as COML B302

Back to top

FREN B306 Libertinage et subversion Spring 2012 The libertine movement of the 18th century has long been condemned for moral reasons or considered of minor importance when compared to the Enlightenment. Yet, the right to happiness ('droit au bonheur') celebrated by the so-called 'Philosophes' implies a duty to experience pleasure ('devoir de jouir'). This is what the libertine writers promoted. The libertine movement thus does not confine itself to literature, but also involves a dimension of social subversion. This course will allow you to understand Charles Baudelaire's enigmatic comment: "the Revolution was made by voluptuaries." (Le Menthéour,R. -- Division III: Humanities)

FREN B325 Etudes avancées
Section 001 (Spring 2011): Lumières et Médecine
Section 001 (Fall 2011): Rousseau polémiste Fall 2011 An in-depth study of a particular topic, event or historical figure in French civilisation.

Current topic description: Comment interpréter l'oeuvre de Rosseau? Tour à tour considéré comme le plus grand philosophe des Lumières et le plus ardent des anti-philosophes, Rousseau constitue une énigme que nous tenterons de percer en le considérant avant tout comme un polémiste de génie. (Le Menthéour,R. -- Division III: Humanities) Cross-listed as COML B325

FREN B326 Etudes avancées
Section 001 (Spring 2011): Baudelaire

FREN B398 Senior Conference A weekly seminar examining two major French and Francophone literary texts and the interpretive problems they raise. A third theoretical text will encourage students to think beyond traditional literary categories to interrogate issues such as cultural memory, political engagement, gendered space, etc. This course prepares students for the second semester of their Senior Experience, during which students not writing a thesis are expected to choose a 300-level course and write a long research paper, the Senior Essay, that they will defend during an oral examination. Seniors writing a thesis in semester II will defend it during their final oral examination. (Armstrong,G., Mahuzier,B.)

FREN B654 Nostalgie, ou la maladie du retour Not offered 2011-12 This seminar will enquire on the origins and the development of the discourse on nostalgia in the 18th and 19th centuries. Nostalgia was first conceived as a real disease by physicians, who hesitated between a physical and a moral interpretation, and between a spatial and a temporal perspective. Rousseau and other prominent writers played a crucial role in defining and shaping an affection that became more and more fashionable. We shall discuss the (ab)use of nostalgia in medicine, politics, and literature. (Le Menthéour,R.)

FREN B689 Writing Music and Differences Not offered 2011-12 At the most abstract level, this course hopes to propose new and unorthodox approaches to literature. That is, the course offers creative, yet rigorously critical modes of engagement with text in which music plays a significant role. On a more specific level, it hopes to demonstrate the extent to which music and language have, throughout Western history, and more specifically and radically since the beginning of the nineteenth century--that is, the rise of romanticism--been fundamentally at odds with each other. It will try to show that Western philosophy has constructed their relationship as essentially antagonistic and what the ramifications of such a conflict might be. (Higginson,P.)
