Overview

The course studies a selection of short French texts written between 1150 and 1300. These cover a range of different genres, including narrative verse, lyric poetry, courtly romance and early drama, and they illustrate contrasting values and contrasting attitudes to the role of men and women in the society of the period. The background of the period is also studied, covering such topics as the production and reception of medieval, as opposed to modern, texts; feudalism; courtly love. In addition, students will extend their understanding of the subject by means of independent research, setting the topics treated in their wider context and synthesizing material from a range of sources.

Overview

The course, which builds on the foundation laid in FR 2510, offers an introduction to French linguistics in, so far as possible, a non-technical way. Three major areas are explored: language and society; aspects of grammar; words and meanings. Each of these areas is considered from two points of view: first, that of the overall structure of contemporary French, which will occupy the majority of class time; second that of the historical developments in each area (generally from around 1650), which have made the language what it is today. Students will also have the opportunity to examine more general topics relating to French linguistics and linguistic methods. In addition, students will extend their understanding of the subject by means of independent research, setting the topics treated in their wider context and synthesizing material from a range of sources.

Prose fiction of Rabelais is studied together with the work of two major sixteenth-century French poets. Some non-French writing of the period is also studied (in English translation), as well as topics such as the renewal of interest in classical antiquity, the development of printing and social change. In addition, students will extend their understanding of the subject by means of independent research, setting the topics treated in their wider context and synthesizing material from a range of sources.

Overview

Emblem literature, with its combination of word and image, was popular across Europe in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries for its usefulness both as a teaching tool and as a source of iconographic inspiration, but France was several decades ahead of the rest of Europe. The course will examine a selection of French emblem books, noting the rich diversity of practice, and analyse the ways in which they could be used as vehicles for social comment as well as for political or religious propaganda, and for practical purposes as pattern books for artists in other media such as embroidery, tapestry, painting, woodcarving. Some English emblems will also be studied. In addition, students will extend their understanding of the subject by means of independent research, setting the topics treated in their wider context and synthesizing material from a range of sources.

Overview

The course focuses on five contemporary French directors – Catherine Breillat, Claire Denis, Bruno Dumont, Philippe Grandrieux and François Ozon – whose works explore questions of desire, sexuality and death. These timeless topics are treated in new and often provocative ways allowing the following questions to be discussed: what is the relation between formalism and socio-political engagement in the works of the five directors? How do the filmmakers relate to the traditions that they do not belong to (ie first of all Hollywood and La nouvelle vague)? What do the directors tell us about cinema and contemporary society? We will also discuss how the selected directors may be situated within the history of French (and international) cinema. Viewings will include: Lhumanité/Humanity (Dumont); Beau Travail/Good Work (Denis); A ma souue!/Fat Girl (Brellait); Sous le sable/Under the Sand (Ozon); La vie nouvelle (Grandrieux).
