This introductory course is designed to provide a broad historical overview of cinema in Francophone Africa. We start out with a journey back to Francophone cinema's roots in the colonial past, when film was enlisted to serve various educational purposes as part of the French civilizing mission. Then we do a deep dive into the early postcolonial period to revisit classics such as Afrique 50, Les Statues meurent aussi, Afrique-sur-Seine, Moi un Noir, among a few others. Finally, beginning with Ousmane Sembene's 1963 Borom Sarret (The Cart Driver), we chart the history of film in Francophone Africa, including North Africa (Morocco, Mauritania, Tunisia, and Algeria), from the early sixties to the present. Through readings of key texts and critical discussions with filmmakers and film scholars, students will engage a wide range of issues, including censorship, auteur cinema, ethnographic cinema, counter-ethnographic essay films, popular genres, the contested legacies of Pan-Africanist cinema, gender issues, ecocriticism and eco-cinema, and the combined fallouts from the video and digital revolutions that, as elsewhere, have radically shifted the paradigm of film production and consumption in contemporary Francophone Africa.

In this course, we will examine images of the sacred and the profane in France from the early modern period through to the present. We will explore how they embody a human need to transcend or transgress, as well as their social meanings and how they often serve to construct or critique dualities of identity and otherness in areas including national identity, class, race and sex/gender. First, we will consider how the sacred is invoked to build national identity in the premodern period, via iconic figures including Joan of Arc; the medieval coronation ceremony; the doctrine of the "King's two bodies"; and astrology and tarot. We will also explore themes of gender and race in texts on witchcraft, demonology, and spirit possession. Next, we will explore the relationship between Enlightenment reason and atheism and the so-called “Super-Enlightenment” in which many leading eighteenth-century figures also dabbled: alchemy, the occult, the secret societies accused of plotting the Revolution, and mysticism. In the 19th century we will examine profanation, excess, and the revolt against bourgeois order in decadent poetry and the literature of the fantastique, and read texts on drugs (opium and hashish) and their relationship to dreams and the unconscious. Finally, we will explore secularization in contemporary France, the relationship of laïcité to the “religions du Livre” (Judaism, Christianity and Islam), and French anxieties about the loss of transcendence and the retreat of religion from civic life, as well as about its simultaneous return in the form of Islam, often constructed as the religion of the ‘other.’ Taught in French.

This course is designed to help you develop skills for analyzing texts and for writing effectively in French. This semester, we will study francophone works that explore "outsiders." Course questions will include: who gets to decide who is an outsider, and when is being an outsider an identity that can be freely chosen, rather than something imposed by others? What do outsiders see that insiders can’t or won’t? What is the relationship between outsiders, migration, and French colonial histories, and how do geographic boundaries create "internal outsiders"? Can someone be a citizen legally but an outsider culturally? We will explore outsiders in a selection of films, plays, short stories, novels, essays, and poetry from throughout the Francophone world (Polynesia and the Indo-Pacific; West Africa; and France) and across different historical periods. The course is taught in French. It satisfies the Internationalism and the Writing Argumentative (WA) requirements. It is required for the French major and for all 400-level courses in French.

This course offers an introduction to French cinema through a selection of films by a diverse range of directors, including examples from the early experimentation of the Lumière brothers, Alice Guy-Blaché and Georges Méliès through the classic period of Jean Renoir, Jean Cocteau, Marcel Carné, and Jacqueline Audry; the 1960s French Nouvelle Vague including Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Agnès Varda; Alain Resnais and Marguerite Duras; and contemporary cinema from directors including Beineix and Carax though to Chantal Akerman, Claire Denis, Abdellatif Kechiche, Céline Sciamma, and Alice Diop. Our objective will be to analyze the specificity of French cinema as a distinctive art, as well as the way in which French filmmakers have used film both as spectacle and entertainment, and as a vehicle to represent and critique various practices, institutions, and power relations in French society, whether in the domains of politics, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, race, or immigration. We will read some introductory film theory, pay attention to both the formal and thematic dimensions of the works we study, and develop skills in scene analysis and interpretation. The course is taught in seminar/discussion format. The course is taught in French. Prerequisite(s): FREN 204 or higher.

Québec is uniquely situated in the world: at a crossroads between European and North American cultures, a French-speaking province surrounded by English-speaking nations, and historically both connected and disconnected from its Indigenous peoples. It has also recently been a destination for immigrants and refugees from all over the world. This course examines the distinctive multicultural dimensions of the francophone province of Québec and its interactions with "les autres" (other cultures and peoples), through a study of film and literature published over the past 30 years. Throughout the course, we explore issues of language, identity, exile, and memory to understand the complex negotiations between inhabitants of "la belle province." Taught in French.
