Topic I: SPORT ET SOCIÉTÉ: Did you know that the Modern Olympic Games (1896) and the Soccer World Cup (1938), two of today's most watched sporting events around the globe, were created by the French? Did you know that the celebration of the 1998 French National team victory in the World Cup gathered more people on the Champs-Elysées than during the liberation of Paris at the end of WWII? This class will study how sports in France and in the Francophone world have served throughout history as both a political tool (used to reinforce France's ideals of Universalism and Imperialism) and a powerful source of resistance, integration, and social evolution. Works will include literary texts by de Montherlant, Carrier, and Echenoz; theoretical and sociological excerpts from Barthes, Blondin, and Holt; as well as films and documentaries.

SELF AND SOCIETY. A study of the themes of self and society as seen in the plays of Molière, Corneille, Racine, Beaumarchais, Musset, and Beckett, and in the poetry from Villon to Prévert. We will examine the struggle of self vs. society in various contexts, particularly love, family, politics, and fate, and will study how the individual affirms and defines himself/herself, or fails to do so, in that struggle.

FRANCE AND ITS OTHERS. France, like the United States, has for several centuries believed it has a unique position and mission in the world. French literature helps us understand how France thinks about itself in relation to others, and has arrived at some particularly useful ways of considering how humans can relate to those very different from themselves. Authors include Chrétien de Troyes, Montaigne, Lafayette, Voltaire, Balzac, Breton, and Tournier.

Points of Intersection

This course examines the idea of connectivity in the arts. Via novels, paintings,photography, and film, we will explore questions of interpretation related to the themes of love and betrayal; bequests and legacy; and innocence and responsibility. A series of paintings by Vermeer and other Dutch masters depicting elegant women (and their dogs) in the company of their suitors will engage us in elaborate courtship rituals played out using letters, music, and wine. We will also consider how, during the reigns of Francis I and Louis XIV, the French monarchy integrated Dutch art into its collections in order to assert the king's influence and authority. Students will discuss portraits that emerge from complex tableaux in Laclos's masterful novel of seduction, LES LIAISONS DANGEREUSES; in 19th-century paintings; and in contemporary photographs. The class will read Doeer's ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE and de Waal's HARE WITH THE AMBER EYES, stories that link history with art, the past with the present, and gifts with thefts and bereavements. We will study Daoud's MEURSAULT INVESTIGATION in relation to the work that inspired it: Camus's OUTSIDER [L'ETRANGER]. Adaptation will likewise inform our readings of Austen's SENSE AND SENSIBILITY, Barnes's SENSE OF AN ENDING, and the pair of films based on these novels.The class will assess aspects of the original story that are lost on screen as well as the added resonances that the novels acquire in the film versions. Class taught in English.

In this seminar we will read some of the great realist novels of the nineteenth century, by the four masters of the genre: Balzac, Stendhal, Flaubert, Zola. We will also examine Huysmans's A REBOURS, which was written in reaction to the excesses of Realism. We will determine what characterizes the realist novel and how it has evolved from Balzac to Zola. We will consider its theoretical orientation, but we will also focus on the major themes it addresses: the organization of French society throughout the nineteenth century, Paris vs. the province, love, money, ambition, dreams, material success, decadence, etc. Prereq: Fr 325 or Fr 326.

Marguerite de Navarre's Heptameron & the Woman Question:Gender, Love & Sexuality in Renaissance

L34 French 417

A major writer, an early sympathizer of the reform movement, and a generous patron of the arts and sciences, Marguerite de Navarre (1492-1549), King Francis I's sister, has continued to intrigue readers throughout the ages. Her correspondence, short stories, plays, dialogues and religious poems have been edited and translated into several languages. However, her best known work today remains the HEPTAMERON, her collection of novellas. This course will focus primarily on the HEPTAMERON in the context of the QUERELLE DES FEMMES, a centuries-long literary debate over the nature and status of woman. It proposes a close study of the text with special emphasis on gender issues. Close attention will be paid to early modern understandings of sex and gender and the extent to which devisants and characters in the stories conform to or defy the predominant gender stereotypes; gender relations; the dynamics of love and marriage; attitudes toward sexuality, gender and sexuality, and sexual aggression and violence. Prereq: Fr 325 or Fr 326. One-hour preceptorial required for undergraduates.

French Literature of the Middle Ages I: Encountering the East in Old French Literature

L34 French 451

Medieval French was a global language, written and spoken from England and the Low Countries to Sicily, Venice, Cyprus, and the Holy Land. In this seminar we will examine the representation and appropriation of foreign "others" in medieval French literature. How do discourses of conquest and of the marvelous contribute to major movements in medieval literature? Was there a medieval francophonie? What light can contemporary postcolonial criticism shed on medieval texts? Readings will include crusade songs, epics (CHANSON DE ROLAND), romances (Chrétien de Troyes), theater, and travel narratives (Marco Polo). Texts will be available in bilingual editions; no prior study of Old French language is necessary. Prereq: Fr 325 or Fr 326. One-hour preceptorial for undergraduates.

Grammar and Vocabulary Acquisition

L34 French 467

This course examines theoretical and instructional implications of research on grammar and vocabulary acquisition. Topics include making form-meaning connections during language learning; developmental stages; the role of input and input processing; explicit and implicit methods of grammar instruction; pertinent factors in vocabulary acquisition, such as learning context and processing resource allocation; and comparisons of incidental and direct vocabulary instruction techniques. Major theories of language acquisition (e.g., nativism, emergentism) are critically examined in light of the research presented, and research findings are applied to instructional practices.
