FREN 3311-001 - French Literature and Culture I
Fall 2009
This course serves as an introduction to French texts ranging from the Middle Ages to the latter part of the Eighteenth Century. This overview of French literary history in its social context will give the student a good sense of literary movements at the same time as it functions as an introduction to literary analysis. We will begin to acquire the close reading and analytical writing skills that are important tools for future French studies. There will be a mid-term and a final exam as well as daily (itty bitty) reading comprehension quizzes to keep the students on track.

The course will concentrate on the social, political, and economic structures in France with a special focus on current events impacting business in the Francophone world. Emphasis is placed on understanding how culture informs commercial activities in France and its impact on systems of production, consumption and distribution. The course is divided into two parts: in the first section we will explore those elements that make the French "French." This includes areas as diverse as eating habits, personal appearance, and family to attitudes concerning money and its role in French society. In the second segment of the course we will turn our attention to political structures, economic developments and France’s place in the European community. Publicité, a reflection of how people see themselves or wish to see themselves, is the pivot around which this course is articulated. Through an analysis of print advertisements, television commercials, and special interest public ads, specific attention is drawn not only to marketing techniques employed by the French but to the exploitation of culture in the pursuit of commerce. We will also examine how France and the French looks at Americans. At the end of this course students will have acquired knowledge of French cultural systems as well as governmental ones. They will have familiarized themselves with the linguistic tools specific to this area of study and benefit from a greater insight into French business culture.
