FREN 305 - Modern Culture and Civilization

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

A study of modern France through its history, arts, politics, and social structures. This course is designed to help students understand why the French think the way they do and why their societal concepts are often very different from those of the Americans. To do so we will see that for the French the presence of the past deeply informs the present and how this historical phenomenon has shaped, at least in part, the concept of the family, the government, the educational system, and the position of women in France. We will also examine the important issue of immigration, which is one of France's major social issues today. Finally, we will look at the role that France is playing in the shaping of European unity.
