Expanded Course Description
| These two courses (FR 301 & 303) are designed to empower students as they make the transition from language-based study in first- and second-year French, into the use of the French language in the study of works of literary art and other cultural expressions of the francophone world. Each course presents specific social, cultural, and historical issues through literary works and journalistic, cinematic, and artistic materials. Primary attention is given to the development of the analytical and critical skills that are a crucial part of a humanities-based education. At the same time, students continue to improve abilities in speaking, reading, and writing French by enriching advanced-level vocabulary, practicing written and oral expression, and improving aural and reading comprehension. Both classes seek to develop students' capacities, in French, for the integration of humanities content through synthesis, reflection, and critical thinking. These courses thus serve as an effective "bridge" in preparing students for upper-division literature survey courses (FR 317-319) and further literary and cultural study in the French major and/or minor.
This course (FR 301) explores French society, politics and culture in the 21st century. It questions stereotypes, investigates current debates and controversies, explore tensions between tradition and change through a variety of documents (news articles, polls, songs, poems, cartoons, websites, print and TV news). Exemples of themes include immigration, cultural practices, environment, globalisation, the recent presidential elections, and the new Europe.
Note: These "stand-alone" courses may be taken in any order and as they fit the student's interest and schedule, to fulfill requirements for the French or Romance Languages majors or minors.
