Description

Marie-Antoinette refused to wear the clothing given to her by Robespierre for her beheading. Instead she donned a muslin chemise and a bonnet that she had kept hidden in her bedding for the occasion. Was she making a final fashion statement, or is this a final act of defiance by refusing to give up control? In this class we address questions like these and examine the discourse of fashion, visual culture and image in pre-revolutionary France. We will also analyze the relationship of dressing to image and the body politic of eighteenth-century France. The class is taught in English, and is cross-listed with the Gender and Women's Studies Program. This class can be counted toward the French or French Studies major or minor.

Description

The aim of this course is to introduce students to the basic trends of French literature in the context of a general thematic. While giving critical attention to the theme of love and its manifestations in representative works, this exploration also provides a base from which the student can access the evolution of French Literature. We will situate each work we study in its proper historical context while paying close attention to the evolution of literary genres and parallel trends in the formal study of literary discourse. In this class we will address various thematics that accompany a traditional survey of literature course such as, critical discourse, aesthetic representation, literary movements, genre, constructions of sexual identities, sexual politics and representations of ethnicity, class and culture.
