French 375C: Biography of a City: Paris
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
This class has a dual focus: to trace the political and cultural history of Paris throughout the ages since its founding; to highlight Paris as a theme or topos in works of art and in the popular imagination.

French 385: Cultural Differences

By examining how the French perceive Americans and how the Americans perceive the French, students interrogate stereotypes, biases, and differences in values, behaviors, and beliefs between the two cultures. The class also examines the misunderstandings that occur as a result of these differences. Students also look within the American culture and within the French culture to evaluate how minorities and marginal groups exist within them. Texts include works by contemporary authors whose different professions (journalist, anthropologist, novelist, etc.) offer different perspectives on the questions of cultural difference.
