Class Description:
"Space/Borders/Limits." In this course, we will examine the notion of space, particularly through artistic works in which mobility is depicted negatively. What is the treatment of trespassing, intruding and overstaying one's welcome in French and francophone literature and cinema? How have travel practices, their regulations and their artistic and cultural representations evolved through time? How is social mobility addressed in literary and cinematographic productions? To answer these and related questions, we will study Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du mal, Molière's Le Médecin malgré lui, Gisèle Pineau's Un Papillon dans la cité, Abdellatif Kechiche's L'Esquive and André Téchiné's Loin.
