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.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
