  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.

  What do imaginary worlds tell us about our own? This course in French will explore possible answers to this question in a variety of works of "fictions de l'imaginaire". Through the theme of resistance, we will consider the genre's evolution from its foundations to contemporary iterations, across multiple forms of media, including novels, short stories, theoretical texts, films, and bandes dessinées. Doing so will provide a framework within which to analyze this increasingly mainstream genre and discover how it interrogates issues of our time in fields ranging from science to politics, climate change to feminism, as well as raises questions about the very essence of what makes us human. Possible authors include Jules Verne, Pierre Boulle, Amélie Nothomb, Pierre Pevel, Marie Darrieussecq, and Alex Alice.
