- Class Description:
- FREN 3101W is a writing intensive course offering a broad introduction to the critical methods, standards of scholarship, and body of knowledge specific to the discipline of French and Francophone Studies. The course will train students to understand and analyze various documents and media such as literary works, cultural or theoretical texts, cultural artifacts, film, art, audio and visual media pertaining to France and Francophone communities from selected periods spanning the centuries. Since this is a writing intensive course, particular attention is given to the content, style and format of written assignments. The theme and content of each section will vary according to instructor. This section, Metamorphoses, takes its inspiration from the foundation myths for art and the artist, as they are reinterpreted in French poetry and narrative, on the stage and in film. In the tales of Orpheus, Pygmalion, and other poets, painters, and lovers, we will find not only narrative representations of the transformative power of art for the individual subject, but also indications of art's limitations, its opacities, and its intractability. Along the way, we will study the diverse modes and mechanisms of verbal, dramatic, and cinematic art, and we will consider how readers/viewers of today can understand and analyze this material. Possible readings/viewings: Ovid, selections from the Metamorphoses Marie de France (ca. 1170), selected Lais Jean Cocteau, La Belle et la Bete (film, 1946) and Orphee (film, 1950) Moliere, Dom Juan Selected lyric poetry by Charles d'Orleans, Pierre de Ronsard, Maurice Sceve, and Charles Baudelaire Theophile Gautier, selected recits fantastiques Offenbach, Les contes d'Hoffmann (opera, 1881), and the film by Powell and Pressburger (1951) Balzac, `Le Chef-d'oeuvre inconnu'
