FREN 2695
Cold Cases:Crime, Politics, Truth

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

The history of the Francophone world is riddled with cold cases: political scandals, investigative enigmas, and cover-ups that either remain unanswered today, or that look decades to finally be "solved";: Who killed Patrice Lumumba? How did Maurice Audin 'suddenly' disappear in Algiers? In this course, we will examine some of the most haunting political assassinations, disappearances, and cover-ups, through public media, political essays, histor7, but also through fiction and film. We will grapple with how the 'truth' becomes the locus of political struggle, but also the means to justice, and potential repair. The course fulfills the Francophone requirement.
