Course Description:
This course explores social, cultural, intellectual, and political uprisings in the francophone world. How are these moments and movements remembered or commemorated? What role does art, literature, and culture play in portraying these struggles and their legacies? This course will explore such questions by putting literature and film in conversation with the socio-political contexts that they represent and out of which they emerge. Possible historical periods and topics include: slave rebellions, the Haitian Revolution, the French revolutions of 1789 and the long nineteenth century (1830, 1848, 1871), student and worker revolts of May 1968, the Algerian Revolution, and the so-called "Arab Spring." Course conducted in French. |
