Intended
to help students fine-tune their command of French and develop a good sense for
the most appropriate ways of communicating ideas and facts in French, this
course emphasizes translation both as an exercise as well as a craft in its own
right. The course will also address grammatical, lexical and stylistic issues.
Translation will be practiced from English into French, and vice versa, with a
variety of texts drawn from different genres (literary and journalistic).
Toward the end of the semester, students will be encouraged to embark on
independent projects. Interested students should consult with Prof.
Odile Chilton prior to registration. Class size: 20

Serving as an overview of modern French
literature, this class will focus on an assortment of texts (novels, short
stories, poems, plays, essays) that reflect on themselves as texts, on
themselves as literature. From a variety of different perspectives, they
all ask the question: why literature? How can literature serve as a
response to a problem (be it personal or political), or, taken from another
angle, why is the questioning at the heart of literature often seemingly the
sole solution? This class will explore many of the ways in which, over
the past three and a half centuries, literature has attempted to grasp its own
essence.

Private Life |

Cross-listed:
Literature; Gender &
Sexuality Studies The
representation of private life in the nineteenth-century French novel coincided
with the advent of Realism. Realism not only described the institutions that
shaped private life (i.e., marriage, education, religion), but dwelled also on
the discrete dramas occurring backstage--the solitude of the spinster
(Flaubert's Un Cœur simple), the
plight of the child (Vallès' L'Enfant,
Renard's Poil de Carotte), the
ambiguities of filial duties(Balzac, Eugenie Grandet, Flaubert Madame Bovary), the despair of
domesticity (Maupassant's Une Vie),
and the nature of neuroses (Zola, Nana).
Using novels, stories, and short selections from journals and correspondences,
this course will examine the emergence of writings previously considered too
private, too personal to be viewed as literature. Students will also uncover
the techniques that help dramatize these highly subjective conflicts (interior
monologue, free indirect discourse, early examples of flow of consciousness).
Issues of gender, sexuality, and the role of women in defining domesticity will
be central. In order to situate these texts within a tradition that rethinks
the self, there will be additional readings by Locke, Descartes, Kant, and
Shaftesbury. Students will also read excerpts from recent anthologies about
everyday life to examine the connection between literature, philosophy, social
history, and anthropology. Taught in
French. Class size: 20
