FRENCH (S24)120  THE IDEA OF FRANCEBEY-ROZET, M.
French 120: The Idea of France

In this course, we will examine the changing definitions of France and French identity as reflected in French and Francophone literature. The starting point for the course will be the immediate years after World War 2, during which time French faced multiple crises of identity, torn between the humiliation of the Occupation, the newfound pride of the Resistance, and a collapsing colonial empire. How do the ideals of the 1789 Revolution live on in the 20th and 21st century? Why has the concept of Universalism become such a tense subject amid the ever-increasing diversity of the Francophone world? How has “Frenchness” been negotiated and imagined in literature and political discourses? In addition to novels and excerpts, we will read, watch and listen to films, videos, podcasts and other media. Students will be expected to contribute to online discussions in French, as well as write an opinion piece on a subject of their choice related to current happenings in the French and Francophone world. This course will be taught entirely in French.
