FREN 315 - Provocative Texts: French Literature in its Cultural Contexts

Fall and Spring (3) Staff Prerequisite(s): FREN 305   (College 200, ALV, GER 4A, 5)

What can literature do? This course will test the powers of fiction by studying provocative masterpieces of French & Francophone literature. In the process, we will also consider the material, social, legal, economic, and ideological forces that shaped French & Francophone literary culture over the centuries. (This course is anchored in the ALV domain, and also considers aspects of the CSI domain.)
