Desc: | Topic I: SPORT ET SOCIÉTÉ: Did you know that the Modern Olympic Games (1896) and the Soccer World Cup (1938), two of today's most watched sporting events around the globe, were created by the French? Did you know that the celebration of the 1998 French National team victory in the World Cup gathered more people on the Champs-Elysées than during the liberation of Paris at the end of WWII? This class will study how
sports in France and in the Francophone world have served throughout history as both a political tool (used to reinforce France's ideals of Universalism and Imperialism) and a powerful source of resistance, integration, and social evolution. Works will include literary texts by de Montherlant, Carrier, and Echenoz; theoretical and sociological excerpts from Barthes, Blondin, and Holt; as well as films and documentaries.
