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. Prerequisite: French 241 or equivalent. 1.00 units, Lecture

This course examines how French literature reflects the dichotomies resulting from our susceptibility to emotion and reason, two impulses not always in harmony with one another, but which surely govern the way we see the world. We will consider such issues as courtly and Renaissance concepts of love; the conflict of passion and reason in the age of Louis XIV; Enlightenment and Romantic attitudes toward our aptitude for thought and our capacity to feel; and the development of modern Existentialism and its impact on the way we think and feel about one another. Readings will be selected from the genres of prose, drama and poetry, and all work will be done in French. Prerequisite: French 251 or 252, or Permission of the Instructor. 1.00 units, Lecture
