Desc: | MORAL DILEMMAS: Far from contributing to current notions of a passive or captive audience, the theater was historically a site of cultural debate and spectatorship a mode of socio-political engagement in France. Poets and playwrights alike consistently challenged the aesthetic conventions and ethical assumptions of their eras. As we revisit the moral dilemmas that structure their works, students will be asked first to suspend then to levy their judgment and defend their position. We will read influential plays by Rutebeuf, Corneille, Racine, Beaumarchais, Hugo, and Sartre alongside innovative poems and poetic manifestos that provoked the applause, consternation, and censure of their contemporaries. |
