Desc:Remote and synchronous. On April 15, 2019, the iconic cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris caught fire. Almost as soon as the blaze had been contained, public controversies followed. In what style should the cathedral be rebuilt? Who would finance the reconstruction? What does it mean, really, to "restore" an active religious site that is also one of the most visited tourist attractions in the world? In this seminar we will study recent debates about the future of Notre-Dame, and the major underlying problem that they expose: what role can a cathedral play in the national symbolism and the cultural memory of a modern, secular state? As we explore this question, we will study documents that reveal the changing role that Notre-Dame has played in Parisian (and French) life from the Middle Ages to the present day: artistic representations, processions and ceremonies, architectural essays, novels, musicals, poetry, journalistic reportage, and film. These windows onto the building's past and present will help us imagine the new cultural roles that the restored cathedral will play in twenty-first-century France and beyond. Prerequisites: French 325 or 326, or permission of instructor. This course 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.
