Expanded Course Description
French language and culture were widely disseminated around the world during the period of French colonial expansion. This course will introduce students to important literary works and movements from different regions of the francophone world including countries of sub-Saharan Africa, the Maghreb, the Caribbean, francophone North America, southeast Asia and the indian Ocean. Topics covered will include colonial legacies and post-colonial struggles, the Négritude movement (launched in France in the 1930s by Aimé Césaire from Martinique, Léopold-Sédar Senghor from Senegal and Léon-Gontran Damas from Guyana), theories and practices of créolité, language and identity politics, writings about race and gender, migrant writings. The course is organized around readings of selected literary works. Represented francophone authors may include Aimé Césaire, Ousmane Sembène, Mariama Bâ, Assia Djebar, Albert Camus, Tahar Ben Jelloun, Gabrielle Roy, Léopold Sedar Senghor, Pham Duy Khiêm, and Myriam Warner-Vieyra. Students will explore and analyze the concept of identity in these francophone selections through guided discussion in French and extensive work in second-language writing.
