This course is designed for students who wish to acquire a strong
grasp of the French language and culture in the shortest time possible.
Students with little or no previous experience of French will complete the
equivalent of three semesters of college level French. The semester course
meets ten hours a week, using a variety of pedagogical methods, and will be
followed by a four week stay at the Institut de Touraine (Tours, France). There
the students will continue daily intensive study of the French language and
culture while living with French families (successful completion of the course
in France carries 4 extra credits). Students will also meet an extra hour a
week in small conversation groups with the French tutor. Students must consult with Prof. Odile Chilton before on-line
registration

This course is primarily intended to help students fine-tune
their command of spoken and written French. It focuses on a wide and diverse
selection of writings (short works of fiction, poems, philosophical essays, political
analysis, newspaper editorials or magazine articles, etc.) loosely organized
around a single theme. The readings
provide a rich ground for cultural investigation, intellectual exchange,
in-class debates, in-depth examination of stylistics and, of course, vocabulary
acquisition. Students are encouraged to
write on a regular basis and expected to participate fully to class discussion
and debates. A general review of grammar
is also conducted throughout the course.

This seminar is a deep read of Gustave Flaubert's Madame
Bovary (1856). It will address the complexities of translation (we will compare
Karl Marx's daughter Eleanor Marx's 1886 version to Lydia Davis' (2011). We
will Flaubert's struggle with censorship (the novel was put on trial in 1857),
and the way the book revolutionized fiction and inspired Modernism. Through
Flaubert's obsession with Cervantes' Don Quixote, we will examine how novels
have been the objects of suspicion and elation. Could Madame Bovary be about
the dangers of reading and yet redemptive to its own readers? We will watch
film adaptations as well as read Posy Simmons' brilliant graphic novel (and
Anne Fontaine's film adaptation) Gemma Bovery. Taught in French.
