Desc:Synchronous each meeting (asynchronous options available) DEFINING DIFFERENCES: REPRESENTING THE OTHER. Whether inviting or threatening, the portrayal of the Other is well documented in Francophone world literature. In plays and poetry, how is this image constructed, according to which stereotypes? How is the Other stigmatized as a scapegoat, or represented as shaping and enriching one's own identity? Ever since the Middle Ages, French national identity has been defined in part against the Other, the Saracen, representative of a Muslim religion deemed hostile. During France's religious wars and as the result of cultural imperialism the Other also came to be perceived as internal. Assuming the point of view of the Other became a strategy to advocate in favor of cultural diversity and minority rights. French poets and playwrights often expressed the desire for real or imaginary "other" worlds. As Symbolist and Surrealist poets discovered, however, the Other is also within us, necessitating an awareness of Self and Other. In the Francophone world (Quebec, North and West Africa, West Indies), poets and playwrights employ the language of the Other (French) in order to assert their own cultural and racial identity in a colonial and post-colonial context.

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.
