Sites to be visited include the Musée d'Orsay, the Opéra Garnier, the grands magas ins, Montmartre, Père Lachaise ceme-tery, as well as tours o f the grands boule vards and of Left Bank c afés.

    3.00 Credits
    Wellesley College

    Datta NOT OFFERED IN 2009-10. The French have long been fascinated by the United States, especially since the end of the Second World War.

Topics to be explored include: representations of Afri-canAmericans in French films (Josephine Baker), French views of Taylorization, the Coca-Cola wars of the 1950s, French-American ten-sions during the Cold War, especially under de Gaulle, as well as more recent debates about Euro Disney, McDonald's, Hollywood, globa-lization, and multiculturalis m.

    Mistacco NOT OFFERED IN 2009-10. Drawing from feminist inquiries into the politics of exclusion and inclusion in literary history, the course ex-amines, in dialogue with masterpieces authored by men, novels by major women writers of the period.

In this course, we will reconsider this particular literature of female dissent along with key novels by men as part of a crisis in legitimacy that led to the French Revolution. Works by Prévost, Claudine-Alexandrine de Tencin, Fran oise de Graffigny, Marie-Jeanne Riccoboni, Rousseau, Diderot, Laclos, and Isabelle de Charrière .
