Desc:SELF-FASHIONING: The era encompassing the Enlightenment and Romanticism was a time of social upheaval as the French weathered the transition from monarchy to restoration via revolution; an era that featured mass movement from rural to urban centers, increased social mobility, and colonial trade. We will investigate the art of self-fashioning during this period, focusing on the concentration and performance of identity. Texts lend voice to the socially marginalized and downtrodden (including peasants, sons without prospects, daughters without dowries, fallen women, and former slaves), giving us a sense of their interiority yet obliging us to question their authenticity as they negotiate their position within the surrounding society. We will read works by Marivaux, Diderot, Rousseau, Charriere, Constant, Duras, and Stendhal alongside cultural histories of the self and theories of double-consciousness and performance. This semimar satisfies either the pre-Revolution or post-Revolution requirement for French majors.

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.
