FREN 3710
Reading/Screening Women's Stories in French and Francophone Cultures

Course information provided by the 2015-2016 Catalog.

The class is an introduction to reading and interpreting women's stories as they are represented, written, at times erased before being recovered in French and Francophone history and cultures. The course will analyze several figures/icons/images from the Old Regime to our time. The goal of the course is to familiarize students with the analyses of different strategies and techniques of representation (esthetic, historical, scientific, autobiographical and fictional).  The corpus of works studied will include fictional and historical writing as well as paintings and films. Examples of such case studies could include: Joan of Arc, Marguerite de Valois, Marie-Antoinette, heroines of fairy tales, Camille Claudel, unknown women workers, or well known contemporary women authors such as Marguerite Duras, Marjane Satrapi, or Condé.
