Critical Perspectives on French and Francophone Cultures

Undergraduate / Graduate

This course examines writing as a privileged space for reflection, critique, and creativity. By analyzing, questioning, and reinterpreting key cultural works in French--including films, prose fiction, poetry, bande dessinées, manifestos, or cultural criticism--, the course invites students to deepen their thinking and develop critical perspectives on French and Francophone cultures through a range of writing practices, including reflection journals, short reviews, critical commentaries, analytic essays, creative (re)writing, and translation.
