French 215: Conversation, Culture, Communication 1: Pop Culture
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
The course examines popular culture through a focus on what is said and performed, viewed especially but not exclusively through French film. Five thematic units focus on everyday occurrences and themes that mark both French and Francophone experience: the intersection of French History with the lives of ordinary people; the role of the French family in modern life; the motto of the French Revolution and how it applies today; the notions of community and the individual in modern French and Francophone society; the role of the French in the world at large. Active student participation is required; student is required to do at least two oral presentations on the films we see, and in some of the versions, to make their own film. An optional film-viewing is scheduled from 2 to 4 p.m. Fridays. Prerequisite: French 201D or the equivalent; may be taken before or after French 216.

French 216: Conversation, Culture, Communication 2: French Culture Through French Film
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
This course enables students to pursue their exploration of French culture through French film. Though not a history of French cinema, it introduces some of France's most celebrated actors and directors. We focus on excerpts that illustrate important life themes, including childhood, coming of age, existential crises, the search for happiness, the need for laughter, the threat of crime and violence, the complexities of love, and attitudes toward death. Students are asked to contrast their expectations of how such themes are to be treated with the way in which the French choose to portray them. Students write film reviews as though they were, alternately, an American or a French critic. As a final project, they write their own screenplay and imagine how it might be filmed in France. By the end of the course they have begun to view French culture with a French eye. Prerequisite: French 201D or the equivalent; may be taken before or after French 215.

French 247: Freshman Seminar
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
In this multimedia course, we focus on urban enclaves of Bohemia during the 19th and 20th centuries: namely, Romantic, Decadent, and Expatriate Paris. We also take a brief literary excursion near the end of class to New York's Greenwich Village and Alphabet City, home of the Nuyrican Poet's Café and setting of the musical Rent, in order to examine French influences on these avant garde settings. Our virtual journey through Bohemia takes us to such disturbing haunts as "The Hashish Club" and the various cafés and nightclubs that furnished the background for the great writers and artists of their times. We explore the complex, cosmopolitan nature of Parisian avant garde culture and oppositional strategies through several classic English-language histories of the most important movements to flourish in France between roughly 1830 and 1950. We examine literary texts (especially poems and manifestoes); paintings from Impressionism to Surrealism; and musical pieces by Satie, Stravinsky, Josephine Baker, and Dexter Gordon. Reading knowledge of French would be helpful but is not essential. In English.

French 257: From Champagne to Champlain: French Culture in North America
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
Taught in English. Following Champlain's founding in 1604 of the first French settlement in Nova Scotia (formerly Acadia), the French began to build what they hoped would be a vast empire, from Quebec to the Gulf of Mexico. Over the next 200 years, French culture and language spread throughout North America and could well have been the dominant one in this country had history moved in different directions. This course examines the history, literature, religion, architecture, music, and cuisine of the vast territory known as "New France." Through use of conventional textual documents, as well as films, slides, CDs, and field trips to Missouri historical sites, it exposes the student to the continuing richness of French culture all around us. Drawing on local resources (e.g., Fort de Chartres, Cahokia Courthouse, and Sainte Genevieve), students learn about many fundamental connections between America and France. Topics include early explorations, Jesuit missions, literary representations of the New World, colonial architecture, the French and Indian War, the Louisiana Purchase, Cajun and Mississippian culture.
