  • 009 011: Intermediate French I

    4.00 Credits
    University of Iowa

    French 9:011 is the third semester of a four-semester sequence designed to provide students, both potential majors and non-majors, with an introduction to French and the French-speaking world. In this course, you will explore many different aspects of the French world and work with others in the class through role-playing and other activities to engage meaningfully in French with concerns of contemporary life in French-speaking communities. Knowledge of the grammatical structures taught in the first two semesters is assumed but each chapter of the book begins with the opportunity for individual grammar review (La grammaire à réviser). Grammar is studied through exercises and also associated with readings in French and with the re-writing of compositions. 9:011 is a language class and vocabulary, grammar, listening, reading, writing, and speaking will be stressed but at the same time French will be used as the medium by which we gain access to knowledge about the French-speaking world. Students are expected to attend class regularly, to turn in assignments (typed with double-spacing) on time, to hand in only their own work, unread and unedited by anyone else, to show initiative in the preparation of materials, and to work regularly toward class goals. Students are expected to spend a minimum of 8 hours a week in preparation for actual class sessions. Classes are conducted in French. [NOTE: Native speakers of French should not register for courses below the third-year level. Please see the course supervisor for further details.] REQUIRED TEXTS (books are available at Iowa Book and Supply, 8 S. Clinton). Bravo !

  • 009 055: Revolutions in 19th-Century France

    3.00 Credits
    University of Iowa

    This course serves as an introduction to a particularly rich period in French culture. The forces of instability and dynamism unleashed by the French Revolution echo throughout the entire 19th-century. Major economic, political and social transformations prepared the creation of a new society marked by the ascendancy of the bourgeoisie. The course focuses on the dialogue between the quickly evolving social conditions and the themes and modalities of cultural expression found in the literature and painting of the day. Students have the opportunity to study representative literary works in a variety of genres in translation and are introduced to the principal aesthetic movements of the century (Neo-Classicism, Romanticism, Realism, Naturalism, and Impressionism). The cultural figures studied include the writers Chateaubriand, Hugo, Vigny, Balzac and Baudelaire, and the painters David, Gericault, Delacroix, Courbet and Monet. By learning to draw connections between aspects of 19-century French culture and civilization, students develop interdisciplinary skills of analysis. Class materials are supplemented with documentation from the course web site. Requirements include class participation, short writing assignments and exam(s).
