DESCRIPTION
Intended for students who have completed the equivalent of four to five semesters of college-level French. Reviewing some of the great books of French literature in the forms of the novel, poetry and theatre, this course investigates the construction of gender (feminine gender in particular) and explore its fabrication in the Mediterranean basin through cultural cues and textual arrangement. The works thus articulate their socio-historic and geographic contexts, and the individual expression of the authors studied. How do these representations (from the 18th century to the 21st century) reflect on the present moment?
