Desc:LIBERTY, EQUALITY, FRATERNITY. This course is a multi-media exploration of the famous motto of the French Revolution "Liberty, Fraternity, and Equality" as it pertains to French and Francophone culture throughout history. Our unit on equality examines the importance of language and public speaking (including Paris salons and cafés). Through a focus on conversation and debate in both private and public spaces, we will consider how notions of freedom mark Revolutionary Paris and modern times, including May '68 and contemporary society. The class will discuss the increasing need since the beginning of the 19th century for liberty of expression in painting and poetry. Students will also examine music and cooking as convivial (fraternel, shared) gestures of outreach. Individual projects will include an enactment of the "café philosophique"; an impressionist and surrealist art exhibition; and the presentation of French classical and contemporary songs dealing with themes of solidarity. In addition, the class will share a meal together during which students will present the social history of each dish.

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.
