Course Catalog Description:: This course will examine the specific way in which food, wine, and sport have helped to create the French cultural, social, and economic identity. The course is divided into three sections, each dealing with one of these topics. Throughout the course, we will explore what it is about French attitudes to these three essential elements of national identity that stamp them with "Frenchness." We will look beyond the national implications to consider the international ramifications of each element. The themes of gender and politics will also be introduced. Texts will include scholarly works of history as well as clips from films, with emphasis on understanding the concepts and methodologies of the scholarly works and discussing and analyzing the other material as sociological and historical sources.
Class Description:: Student may contact the instructor or department for information.
