Course description
An investigation and analysis of significant French cultural texts in their historical, social and ideological context. Texts may be drawn from a variety of literary genres and discourses as well as from film and may in particular cases be related to the topic of the proposed Honours thesis. The course will explore appropriate theoretical and critical perspectives and the wider cultural factors impacting upon the production and reception of the selected texts. The aim is to promote an enhanced understanding of French cultural history and develop the critical and analytical skills necessary for the pursuit of independent and original research.
