6514 Production orale et prononciation / Oral Production and Pronunciation
Instructors: Cynthia Eid

In this course, students will develop and perfect their oral production skills, by means of various original materials and through a wide array of challenging oral production activities. By working on the linguistic and socio-cultural dimensions of a variety of useful communicative speech situations, students will acquire and consolidate a more sophisticated and lasting proficiency in oral expression. Each class will include systematic work on pronunciation, carefully integrated into the program of the day or the week; practice and correction of French pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation through a wide array of oral exercises (discrimination, repetition, dialogues, in-situation activities...). In all aspects of the course, improving communicative ability will be the priority.

6524 Introduction à la linguistique / An Introduction to Linguistics
Instructor: Didier Tejedor de Felipe

In this course, students will discover the various domains of the language sciences and contemporary approaches to linguistics. We will focus particularly on the properties of language as a specifically human activity with two concrete manifestations: the textual and the oral, as idiolects, sociolects, and dialects. In this perspective, we will examine the following dichotomies: langue /parole, competence/performance, synchrony/diachrony, as well as the main characteristics of the linguistic sign and language systems. These notions will be expanded upon in an initiation to fundamental concepts of the language sciences, taking into account objectives, problems, and the theoretical and methodological issues that each of them involves. Exercises in distributional analysis and formal manipulation will help students become familiar with the tools necessary to understand both aspects of language: form (phonetics, phonology, syntax, and morphology) and meaning (structural semantics and pragmatics).

Text: a coursepack will be provided

6602 Énonciation et pragmatique / Enunciative Linguistics and Pragmatics Linguistics

Didier Tejedor de Felipe

In this course, students will be introduced to the analytical tools of enunciative and pragmatic linguistics. These tools will be useful in interpreting texts, whether literary, political, advertising, or journalistic in nature. The objective of the course is twofold: it necessarily demands a critical attitude and thinking on the part of students, guided by the professor, about the concepts and theories associated with these two linguistic approaches. The chief goal, though, is to apply and check these against a varied corpus, from the contextualized statement to the text fragment. More specifically, students will develop scientific rigour in their thinking about linguistics. By the end of the course, students should be able to answer the question: “What can I do, faced with any language-related item, using the tools at my disposition?” The content of the course will be organized into two main blocks: enunciative linguistics and pragmatic linguistics.

Text: Maingueneau, D.: L’énonciation en linguistique française, Hachette, 1999.


6612 Le Petit Conservatoire / Theater and Language
Instructor: Danielle Vende

This course aims at developing ease and fluidity of oral communication in French. With support of contemporary Francophone's plays, students will discover the French languages diversity by working on pronunciation, quality, of their voice, gesture, breathing... A short production composed of different parts of the four plays studied during the course will be performed in public toward the end of the summer session.
This course meets 2 hours daily from July 2 to July 31.

2. Méthodologie / Methodology

6525 Lire, comprendre, écrire le voyage: méthodes d'analyses textuelles / Reading, understanding, and writing about travel: methods of textual analysis

Instructor: Sylvie Requemora

This course will help social science and literature students learn to master analytical and textual methodologies that will allow them to read and comprehend a variety of texts in depth while at the same time developing their analytical writing skills by performing methodological exercises such as summaries, syntheses, technical explanations, close readings, argumentative dialectical essays, and thematic oral presentations. The common theme of these exercises will be the study of travel and of the “Other” in literature, anthropology, sociology, and politics. What representation and images of travel by the unfamiliar and the Other are created from the French reader’s perspective? And who is this Other? Etymologically “the one who is not here” can be the neighbour, the opposite sex, the foreigner – anyone who is different. And of what use are such diverse representations? In a quest for movement and change through different texts spanning the 16th to the 21st centuries, we shall explore the anthropological, sociological, political, stylistic, poetic, critical and ideological renewal of transcriptions of human identity and French perspectives. With this in mind, we shall study textual excerpts from various geographical, political, sociological, anthropological, and historical genres.

Texts: 1) a coursepack comprised of diverse argumentative texts

2) Le Supplément au Voyage de Bougainville (Diderot)

3) La Théorie du Voyage (Michel Onfray)

4) Le Passeur (Le Clézio)

5) Le Roi de Kahel (Tierno Monénembo)

3. Literature / Littérature

6589 Introduction à la littérature maghrébine de langue française / Introduction to Maghrebian Francophone Literature

Instructor: Bachir Adjil

This course studies the history of French-language Maghrebian literature through works from the colonial and post-colonial periods by prominent authors and within main currents such as the "Algerian novel." Beginning in the Fifties, this genre has distinguished itself by its literary qualities and discursive ambitions, a critical affirmation aiming to decipher social phenomena and denounce traditionalist practices. In the Seventies, a new generation of novelists came into its own in the three countries of French-speaking North Africa, searching for renewal of the genre (Rachid Boudjedra, Tahar BenJelloun, Mohammed Khaireddine), while the French language became, in the Eighties, a space where permissiveness could thrive (Tahar Djaout, Rachid Mimouni, Boualem Sansal, Assia Djebar). Lastly, we will examine the latest frontiers of this field, the detective novel (Yasmina Khadra) and migrant literature.

Texts: Driss Chraibi, Le Passé simple (Paris, Gallimard Folio, 1986); Albert Memmi, La Statue de sel (Paris, Gallimard Folio, 1972); Assia Djebar, L’Amour, la fantasia (Paris, Albin Michel, coll: Le Livre de Poche, 2001).

*(Besides regular credits this course may also count for one unit (i.e. 3 credits) in the M.A. in Mediterranean Studies program)

6543 Comment écrire une comédie après Molière ? Les post-moliéresques, de Molière à Marivaux. / Is it possible to pen a comedy after Molière ? The post-Molièrists, from Molière to Marivaux.

(Section A – Methodology ; Section B – Literature)

Instructor: Sylvie Requemora-Gros

How is it possible to think about comedy after Molière? What are the necessary methods to represent, conceive, and bring to life a comic play after Molière’s ingenious innovations, after the revival of the farce, after the invention of classical morals in “La Grande Comédie”, after the creation of the ballet comedy, after the victories at the end of so many quarrels, after so much comic and satiric brilliance, after such a supreme theatric genius? This is the challenge which the “post-Molièrists”, Regnard and Lesage, confronted as best they could, before Marivaux reworked the definition of comedy. Their response is simple but efficient as they imagined a theatrical reproduction of a party, a pot-pourri comedy, the elaborate recreation and imitation at the heart of a light-hearted knowledge, bitter, dark, and philosophical.

This in-depth study of classical theater offers two tracks, one methodological (section A) and the other literary (section B). Section A will help literature and social science students learn to master analytical and textual methodologies that will allow them to read and comprehend a variety of texts in depth while at the same time developing their analytical writing skills by performing methodological exercises such as summaries, syntheses, technical explanations, close readings, argumentative dialectical essays, and thematic oral presentations. Section B presents an academic exploration of the evolution of French comedy during the 17^th and 18^th centuries, combining the historical, literary, theatrical, cultural, philosophical, and social perspectives. In both cases, the course will be accompanied by the texts as well as different versions of the play represented on the screen.

Texts: 1) Dom Juan (Molière)

2) Les Fourberies de Scapin (Molière)

3) Le Bourgeois gentilhomme (Molière)

4) Le Légataire universel (Regnard)

5) Turcaret (Lesage)

6) L’île des Esclaves (Marivaux)

N.B Students who choose section A can validate their credits in methodology (equivalent to 6525).

6647 Initiation à la tradition orale africaine / Introduction to African Traditional Oral Literature
Instructor: Tierno Monenembo

This course is intended for students who wish to explore the fundamentals of the African oral tradition. Indeed it is impossible to understand the African Francophone literature if you ignore the traditional patrimony kept alive by the storytellers and the griots.

The course is divided in three parts:

1) The fundamental myths among the Dogons, the Fulanis, the Bambaras, the Bantus. Who has created the World, and what are the links which binds Mankind to Nature and the Gods?

2) The different forms of speech: the epics, the tales, the proverbs, and the riddles

3) The influence of the oral tradition on the novel and African Francophone cinema

6680 De Baudelaire à Apollinaire / From Baudelaire to Apollinaire (Section A – Methodology; Section B – Literature)
Instructor: Roger Lauverjat

In the second half of the 19^th century, poetry experienced transformations which were not unrelated to those of the world. New links between the world, language and poetry were thus created. This is the adventure we shall recount, starting with Les Fleurs du mal by Charles Baudelaire, the “master book” of French poetry, published in 1857, to end with Alcools by Guillaume Apollinaire, published in 1913. These two collections of poems will be the main focus of our attention, but, on the way, we shall make other stops, musing on the side of Verlaine, Rimbaud or Mallarmé. Modernity featured a rupture with the external signs of the genre with verses becoming less rigid and even dislocated. A revolution happened which gave rise to new forms such as prose poetry and free verse. Such transformations went hand in hand with a revolution in painting in the 19^th century: impressionism, which became established in 1874, the date of the first exhibition of Impressionists. Our approach will strive to combine intellectual rigor and reverie, acquisition of knowledge and pleasure of reading. There will be exercises in the French academic tradition such as the “explication de texte”, the “commentaire composé” or the “dissertation”, this will allow us to further our understanding of the texts and enjoy their originality and beauty. We shall thus hopefully be better prepared to receive this fabulous gift from the poets, guiding our steps in life, language and literature.

Texts: Baudelaire : Les Fleurs du mal, Classiques Hachette, ISBN : 978-2-0101-9081-0

Apollinaire : Alcools, La Bibliothèque Gallimard, ISBN : 2-07-040632-6

There will be a handout available at the College bookstore with theoretical and pedagogical documents as well as a compilation of poems by Rimbaud, Verlaine and Mallarmé.

N.B. The course includes a methodological perspective. Students can validate their credits in methodology (equivalent to 6525) by electing specific exercises (French type) for their evaluation or they can choose standard evaluation without validating the methodology unit.

6643 Histoire de la Littérature des Caraïbes (Martinique, Guadeloupe et Haïti) / Historical perspective on the Literature of the French Caribbean (Martinique, Guadeloupe and Haiti)

Instructor: Romuald Fonkoua

This course studies the period of postcolonial literary history of the Caribbean and French West Indies literatures through the famous novels of Patrick Chamoiseau (Chemin d’école), Maryse Condé (Célanire cou coupé), Émile Ollivier (Mille eaux) and Gisèle Pineau (L’espérance macadam). The narratives of these francophone writers examine the problems of identity of the people born in the Caribbean but who grew up in France, and returned to live in a colonial atmosphere (Haiti, Guadeloupe or Martinique), trying to deal with ideologies of liberation or progress. We will analyse anti-colonial figures (both men and women) and aspects of Creole language in these works of art.

Texts: Patrick Chamoiseau, Chemin d’école, Gallimard/Folio.

Maryse Condé, Célanire cou coupé, Paris, Presses Pocket/Le livre de Poche.

Émile Ollivier, Mille eaux, Paris Gallimard/Haute Enfance.

6780 À la découverte du roman français d’aujourd’hui / Discovering today’s French Novel.

Instructor: Roger Lauverjat

At a time when grouchy and pessimistic critics lament the decline of the novel, it may be useful to note that the novel as a genre has never fared better than in this early 21st century. In September 2008 the specialized press announced the publication of 466 new novels in French. Even if quantity does not necessarily mean quality, such figures are a testimony to the vitality of the genre. If readers may at times find it difficult to find their bearings in such a profusion of books, the reason is that today’s novel, mirroring French society as a whole, has experienced profound changes in the past twenty-five years. Our six-week journey into the contemporary novel will focus on six novelists who, according to some, illustrate the main trends in contemporary fiction (a difficult choice, though!).

1. The return of the character and history revisited: Jean Rouaud, Les Champs d’honneur (Prix Goncourt 1990)
2. The fiction of origins : Annie Ernaux, La Place (1983) et Une Femme (1988)
3. The mark of the social sphere: François Bon, Daewoo( 2004)
4. Questions about commitment to a cause. An uncompromising account of May 1968: Olivier Rolin, Tigre en papier (2002)
5. The postmodern and ironic novel.: Jean Echenoz, Je m’en vais (Prix Goncourt 1999)
6. The novel of culture: Pascal Quignard: Terrasse à Rome (2000)

A summer of fascinating discoveries which should enable you to better understand France and the French today!

6766 Littérature et journalisme (XIXe-XXe siècles) / Literature and Journalism (XIXe-XXe centuries)
Instructor: Jacques Noiray

N.B. This course will meet two hours daily for three weeks (July 2 to July 22).

In this course we will explore the complex and often difficult relations that have developed between literature and written journalism in France from the en of the 19^th century to the present. We will first examine Balzac’s pejorative image, growing out of his own experience in this milieu, of the press and journalists in his novel Illusions perdues. It is this image that dominated literary representations of the press and that is evident again in Goncourt’s Charles Demailly, as well as in the second great 19th C. novel, Bel-Ami by Maupassant, that we will study in more depth. However this deprecatory image dramatically changes after 1880 under the influence of more modern writers, such as Zola, conscious of the possibilities that journalism offers to literature. Literature borrows new genres: the chronicle, the reporting. We will also study examples of great chroniclers : Proust, Barbusse, Vialatte, Giono, and then, in the 20th C., famous writer-reporters : Albert Londres, Simenon, Kessel, Roger Vailland. Finally we will analyse, using the work of two major authors, Camus and Mauriac, how the 20th C. writer uses the press as a forum to promulgate views on political and social issues, thereby achieving intellectual and moral authority. We will finish by considering the contemporary period examining whether the union of writer and journalist still exists in a period of general decline of the traditional written press (and literature itself?).

Instructeur: Charles Sala

This course will begin with the study of the mysterious civilization on the Cyclades Islands 2,000 years before Christ and will cover the classical period of ancient Greece, Imperial Rome, the fall of the Roman Empire, the birth of Christianity, the Middle ages in Europe, Byzantine art in Venice and in Ravenna, the religious schism between the Western and the Eastern churches, the Venetian Empire, the Renaissance in Europe, Luther’s Reformation and the crisis of the arts in Northern Europe.

6640 Histoire de France—de l’échelle métropolitaine à l’échelle-monde / History of France—From the Metropolitan to the Global Level
Instructor: Nicolas Roussellier

This course offers students a condensed panorama of the principal changes marking the history of France since the Age of Enlightenment. France will be studied from the perspectives of the metropolis and its external relationships and actions (colonies, migrations, exiles, etc.). Two topics receiving particular attention will be the creation of the nation-state confronted with the instability of political regimes, and social, religious, and cultural identities from the search for unity to the recognition of minorities. This course will offer a variety of methodological approaches.

Texts: Berstein S. et Winock M. (dir.), L’invention de la démocratie 1789-1914, Seuil, 2002 ; Berstein S. et Winock M. (dir.), La République recommencée, Seuil, 2004.

6606 Les politiques d’une Europe unie / Politics in a United Europe

Instructor : Dominique Agostini

More than fifty years after the treaty of Rome, Europe has become a major power of more than 400 millions of people. Based on the friendship between France and Germany, it has been a factor of peace and prosperity. However, since the end of the Cold War and the Treaty of Maastricht, Europe has been more and more criticized. The “no” to the constitutional treaty in France in 2005 has been a major setback. The economical crisis also puts a lot of strain on the European Union. Our aims are to explain:

1- How Europe has become what it is: its institutions and its different stages.

2- How France has had to adapt its institutions to the European construction. How France had to give up large fields of its sovereignty, especially since the Euro. In other words, how Europe has influenced French politics and policies

3- And finally how Europe can find its place in a globalized world.

No previous knowledge is required.

Texts: Bino Olivi et Alessandro Giacone, L’Europe difficile: Histoire politique de la construction européenne, Folio Histoire Gallimard 2007

*(Besides regular credits this course may also count for one unit (i.e. 3 credits) in the M.A. in Mediterranean Studies program)

6692 La méditerranée dans le monde actuel / Modern Periods of Mediterranean Civilization

Instructor : Dominique Agostini

The Mediterranean occupies an important place in the 20th century as it has been involved in the two world wars and it is still the centre of the major conflicts of the second part of the 20^th century. Today the major powers are aware that world peace cannot be reached if the Mediterranean conflicts are not settled. This is why France and Europe have the aim of stabilising a region through “l’Union pour la méditerranée” which was launched in 2008. The course will give a large overview of the geopolitical problems of the region since 1945. We will study all the countries around the Mediterranean and we will examine the major conflicts of the Near East. And we will see how Europe and France can become major actors in the region. No previous knowledge required.

Text: a course pack will be provided

*(Besides regular credits this course may also count for one unit (i.e. 3 credits) in the M.A. in Mediterranean Studies program)

6657 Le vote : usages et mutations des comportements politiques en France et en Europe / Voting in France and Europe: practices and mutations in political behaviours
Instructor: Pascal Perrineau

This course will study the act of voting within the general framework of a reflection on the broadening of various ways for citizens to participate politically in modern democracies. It will also look at the many uses of voting, together with the different meanings the act of voting vehicles within European democracies. This is an area which has undergone change recently both in France and in Europe. Today, one might wonder whether the vote continues to be a central means of achieving democracy for modern citizenry. One might also wonder whether the vote is still one of the fundamental procedures within the democratic system and what the historical, sociological and political bases of electoral behaviour are made up of.

N.B. This course will meet two hours daily for three weeks (July 23 to August 12).

6618 La pensée politique au féminin / Feminine Political Thought (Section A – Methodology ; Section B – Civilization)

Instructor: Thierry Leterre

France is known for its prestigious tradition of critical reflection in politics, but the contribution of women to it is too often neglected. Based on texts analysis, the course will present major feminine figures of philosophers and thinkers from the 18th century to contemporary interventions. It will serve both as an introduction to the intellectual history of France and to its political development from the standpoint of gender studies.

N.B. The course includes a methodological perspective. Students can validate their credits in methodology (equivalent to 6525) by electing specific exercises (French type) for their evaluation or they can choose standard evaluation without validating the methodology unit.


6689 Les Religions dans le monde méditerranéen /Religions of the Mediterranean World

Instructor : Fady Fadel

Lined by three continents (Asia, Africa and Europe) and geostrategic space, the Mediterranean Sea was during several millenniums the centre of the world. Besides, being cradle of three monotheist religions and art of living, zone of conflict, crossroads of exchanges and migration, the Mediterranean Sea saw asserting itself, more than in quite other region of the planet, the numerous and glorious civilizations. In this course, we are going to see that the Mediterranean Sea is the history of a tension between two modes of knowledge (the reason and the faith) on one hand, and the collection of their possible retrievable, between a shore and other one of the Mediterranean Sea on the other hand. In this trail, we are going to examine how the religious thoughts of both shores tend to dread the interactions of civilizations and to question these multiple interferences, which not only made all the history of the Mediterranean Sea, but which direct still widely its future.

No previous knowledge required.

Text: a course pack will be provided.

*(Besides regular credits this course may also count for one unit (i.e. 3 credits) in the M.A. in Mediterranean Studies program)

6742. Des cultures à l’écran. Le cinéma des minorités dans l’ère postcoloniale / Cultures on the Screen. The Cinema of Minorities in the Postcolonial Era
Instructor: Romuald Fonkoua

In the postcolonial world of images, the cinema of minorities stemming from immigration and displacement (cinema of « beur », suburbs, or immigration) mixes with the cinema of those who rose to political liberty (in Southern or Northern Africa) or people coming from the French West Indies or Caribbean. This course will explore particularities and generalities of these dynamic movements. Through a large selection of films, novels and authors coming from French and Francophone regions (Black South Africa, North Africa, French continental, metropolitan or extra continental, France’s overseas territories and departments, French Caribbean and West Indies), the analysis will study esthetic forms and thematic, political and cultural discourses.

Texts : A list of films will be provided.

Recommended : Guy Gauthier. Le documentaire, un autre cinéma, Paris, Armand Colin, 2005.

6658 Du virtuel au réel : l'apprentissage "authentique" grâce à la Technologie / From the Virtual World to the Real World: "Authentic" Learning Through Technology
Instructor: Bonnie Woolley

How can we help learners who don’t live in a French-speaking country to have access to what are called "authentic" documents, and to make contact with "real" Francophones? This course will help answer that question, which leads to another… What, in fact, is "authenticity"? How should we choose pedagogical supports and learning situations so

that they supply "authentic input"? In this course, we will use the internet as a source of authentic documents and situations that we will, together, adapt for use in the language classroom. We will use basic audio, video and text authoring and editing software, and

explore online tools that can help teachers create lively and content-rich supports for lessons, projects and homework.

6628 Cognition et enseignement et apprentissage des langues secondes / Cognition and L2 Teaching and Learning
Instructor: Christine Guyot-Clément

Cognition and the cognitive process of the L2 learner will be the focus of this course. While exploring the different learning theories that have influenced the development of teaching approaches in the 20^th and 21^st centuries (e.g. direct, audio-oral, SGAV, communicative and task-based approaches) students will develop teaching units relevant to specific audiences and contexts and using appropriate media and teaching aids (texts, audio or visual recordings, websites). These teaching modules will be presented to the rest of the group at the end of the session if possible in the form of a classroom simulation.

Texts: A course pack on theories of language learning and linguistic concepts will be available at the bookstore
