What are the influences that cause certain women to become revolutionaries or activists, outcasts or criminals? How does gender identity, social class, race and education affect those decisions? To answer these questions, this course will examine representations of women who push boundaries and break the rules in films and texts from France and Canada. We will also study certain historical figures from both countries, including Marie-Antoinette, Coco Chanel, Jeanne Mance, and Marguerite Bourgeoys, as well as activists today who continue to question the limits that society tries to impose. The entire course, including readings and discussions, will be in English. No previous knowledge of French culture or language is required for this course.

What is a parallel text? A collocation? A modulation? How do I spot a barbarism or an idiomatism? How can I best use thesauri? How should I approach the translation of a pragmatic text, as opposed to that of a literary text? How can I provide an informed critical commentary on any translated content pairing French and English? How can I combine automated systems like Google Translate or DeepL, with my human decisional agency to achieve great effect in putting out quality translations? How do I know when my instinctual, bilingually memory-based rendition is right on “target” or wide off the mark, maybe even a mistranslation? What are the methods and criteria I can draw on to assess my or a classmate’s skill level in translating into their first language, English or French (version) or into their second language, English or French (thème)? This course is focused on providing concrete answers to these, and other, questions, by way of direct involvement in student translation projects. As a student-focused workshop, it places much emphasis on low-stakes group assignments like in-class peer-reviewing, wordshopping and other practical activities in a collaborative spirit. However, theoretical points will be introduced at various stages to steer discussions on rough drafts or specific excerpts, and provide students with a more balanced view of translation as both an art and a craft. There are no restrictions on text types, formats, and genres for the individual or group projects. Prerequisite: Any French 300-level course (305, 306, 311, 320 or 394) or by permission of the instructor. Language pair: French/English.

À LA RECHERCHE DU BONHEUR ET DU BIEN-ÊTRE - A key notion in early U.S. political and philosophical thought is the rights of all humans to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”. This concept of happiness is noticeably absent from the founding French principles of human rights, which focus instead on “liberty, equality and fraternity”. Yet the French have pursued well-being and happiness to the same extent as Americans, but in different forms and with different goals. In this course, we will study what it means to be happy - à la française - by studying works of fiction, art and philosophy from the 19th century. This period is well known as a time when utopian societies flourished, when consumerism and leisure activities exploded, and when theories about melancholia and hysteria were popularized. Central questions that we will discuss include: what are the keys to living a “good” life? How are the concepts of well-being and happiness connected to cultural and artistic endeavors? What can we learn from this time period, and how are our own views of well-being and happiness influenced by it? This course will count for the pre-20th century requirement for the French major. Prerequisite: French 306.
