| *First Year Course only; first day attendance required* This course focuses on representations of culture and identity in French and Francophone Cinema.

In the course of studying films we will learn theoretical concepts and vocabulary for critical interpretation of visual media. Films will include French classics such as 400 Blows by François Truffaut, and Au-revoir les enfants by Louis Malle, and more contemporary films such as The Hedgehog by Mona Achache and Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi. We will also view films from former French colonies such as Chocolat by Claire Denis (Cameroon) and The Little Girl Who Sold the Sun by Djibril Diop Mambéty (Senegal). The course is taught in English. No prior knowledge of France is required. Films are screened outside of class time |

| FREN 394-01 Stylistique, grammaire et traduction (Style, Grammar, and Translation) | |||
| MWF | 10:50 am-11:50 am | HUM 228 | Martine Sauret |
| *Not available to advanced students who have taken FREN 306 and higher. FREN 394 does not replace FREN 306 for the French major or minor; first day attendance required* We will examine pieces of literature in English and in French and analyze the different modes of expression, the various styles and compare their styles. Theoretical material will enable students to determine stylistic changes geared to specific contexts. At the same time, exercises will concentrate on translation from English to French and French to English. The books we are using progress from the specific parts of speech to general and complex questions concerning the order of the words (ordre des mots) and la mise en relief. With the use of books, journals, newspapers etc… we will proceed to write in journals twice a week to achieve clarity and elegance in written French examining the literary (langue littéraire) to the colloquial (langue familière) and the formal French (langue soignée des gens cultivés). In addition to regular correction of journals, 4 papers will be rewritten after advice and suggestions of the instructor on content (introduction, conclusion presentation of arguments), vocabulary, stylistic and grammatical errors. Students will translate 4 short genres (literary, journalistic, theater and conversation pieces). As the topic relates to the cultural, economical, sociological and historical aspects of France, it addresses the diverse disciplinary areas well established in the French Department and the long term affiliation with the humanities, media and cultural studies, and women’s and gender studies programs. Prerequisite: French 204, placement test or permission of instructor. |

| FREN 407-01 Voix du Nord | |||
| MWF | 09:40 am-10:40 am | HUM 216 | Juliette Rogers |
| *First day attendance required* Quebec is uniquely situated in the world: at a crossroads between European and North American cultures, a French-speaking province surrounded by English-speaking nations, and historically both connected and disconnected from its indigenous populations. It has also recently been a destination for immigrants from all over the globe. This course examines the distinctive multicultural dimensions of the francophone province of Québec and its interactions with "les autres" (other cultures and peoples), through a study of recent literature published over the past 30 years. We begin with a brief historical overview of Quebec's multicultural identity, from the colonial era through the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s and up to 21st-century Quebec, including the 2012 assassination attempt on the new prime minister and the 2008 debates over the "reasonable accommodation" law that shocked the nation. The second section proceeds with an analysis of three of Quebec’s strongest cultural partners: the heritage of the French, the influence of the U.S., and the complicated interactions with First Nations. The third section of the course focuses on the relationships between Quebecois "de souche" (citizens of French or British heritage) and recent immigrants. The texts and films studied in this section include characters originally from China, Haïti, Iraq, Israel, Italy, Lebanon, and Vietnam. We examine why they moved to Quebec, why they chose French as their principal language of expression, and how they interpret their new homeland. Throughout the course, we explore issues of language, identity, exile, and memory to understand the complex negotiations between inhabitants of "la belle province." |

| FREN 416-01 Religions in Africa; Cross Readings Between Literature and Theology on Social Cultural Changes | |||
| MWF | 03:30 pm-04:30 pm | HUM 102 | Jean-Pierre Karegeye |
| *Cross-listed with RELI 394-01; first day attendance required; counts as Tier I course for the African Studies concentration* Many African novels have depicted the relationships between Islam, Christianity and African cultural heritage. African Theology too has framed a dialogue between Christianity, in particular, and African cultures/traditional religions. This course investigates religion’s role in shaping African culture and social changes around readings from both Francophone African literature and African Theology, alongside a viewing of a range of African films. If it is true that "natural" African religion is tied up in African traditions, then the introduction of other religions (Christianity and Islam), need to be explored for their impact across the entire social arena. Due to extensive efforts to enculturate "revealed" religions, extra-African contact yields challenges to definitions of local culture and identity. Diverse religions offer distinct social constructions, impacting indigenous ethnic and national unities. What is it that defines an African cultural heritage? How do we understand a cultural identity that combines multiple religions with "alien features?" What role can traditional African religion play in a modern and mutating society in a globalized context? What does it mean to be “African Christian”, “African Muslim” today in an Africa engaged in a radical and massive refiguring of gender equality, human rights, peace, and democracy? |
