Topic: French Orientalism: The Representation of Otherness in Literature, Cinema, and Visual Arts: This course will examine differing constructions of the Oriental 'Other' as it took shape in French literary and non-literary representations from the 18th to the 21st century. We will analyze how politics and ideology inform the construction and reproduction of knowledge about the "Other" as well as the complex interactions between race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, exoticism and the various subject-object positions occupied by the observer, traveler, writer/voyeur. We will also analyze how these French writers, painters, photographers, travelers and filmmakers have used alterity as mirror for self-reflection, as a tool to critique socio-political practices and as the locus of a threat to cultural homogeneity and national identity. This course will engage theories of Orientalism, identity and difference, colonialism and postcolonialism. Selected literary texts, paintings and films include works by Montesquieu, Pierre Loti, Th?ophile Gautier, Flaubert, Delacroix, Matisse, Albert Camus, Julien Duvivier, Coline Serreau.

TOPIC: CULTURES OF EMIGRATION--Over the last two decades, while the political scene in France has been mostly dominated by increasingly inflamed debates about the presence of immigrants, the literary scene has witnessed the emergence of a growing number of literary and filmic productions by individuals living outside the bounds of mainstream society. As French citizens but born to immigrant parents, they inhabit the geographical and conceptual periphery of the modern French nation. In this course, we will examine this body of texts and films as they relate to the development of a post-colonial space in contemporary French society and literature. We will trace its evolution and variations since the 1980s and we will explore how these writers and filmmakers elaborate new modes and spaces of representation that reveal and displace socio-political as well as cultural mechanisms of domination and silencing. We will also examine how these new literary and cinematic discourses negotiate between the personal and the political, the social and the individual, the national and the postcolonial, the local and the global. Prerequisite: FREN 101 or equivalent.
