Desc:THE BANLIEUES. The Parisian Banlieues, a series of suburban zones at the periphery of the city's urban core, have garnered a great deal of media attention in recent years - most recently in connection with deadly terror attacks. Stereotypes of the Banlieues abound: preconceived notions regarding their residents-many of whom are immigrants from North Africa or their descendants-paint a picture of Paris' suburbs as hotbeds of juvenile delinquency and violence. With support from contemporary French newspaper articles, documentaries (such as "93 Mémoire d'un territoire" and "Les Bleus: une autre histoire de France 1996-2016"), songs (from popular bands such as NTM or Zebda), and other media, students in this course will hone their conversational skills in French by reflecting upon, analyzing, discussing, and debating stereotypes of the Banlieues and related issues, such as questions of urbanization, the role of Islam in France, and notions of cultural identity. The purpose of this course will be to understand where these stereotypes stem from and all the while seek to go beyond them to discover a more positive perspective on these neigborhoods.

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.
