FRE 264 Mediterranian Affiliations: North Africa
Our course explores the fascinating intersection of French and North African cultures, from 1800 to today. Drawing upon masterpieces of film, tasty foods, singular novels, and many forms of art and humor, we will form a dynamic community of inquiry, identifying contextual similarities and differences across times and cultures; using literature, food, and notions of love to discuss identity, art, and nations; identifying continuity and rupture between artistic, culinary, and political agendas, to name the prominent themes.
