FREN 327 New Horizons: Youth & Identities in the Sub-Saharan and Caribbean Francophone Worlds
“New Horizons” is an interdisciplinary journey through the Sub-Saharan and Caribbean Francophone Worlds, focusing on the intersections of youth and identity. This course explores a wide array of cultural productions, such as literature, film, graphic novels, visual arts, philosophy, and anthropology, to understand how Francophone youth navigate and reshape their identities in a rapidly changing world. Students will delve into the delicate balance between tradition and modernity, scrutinize the enduring impacts of colonization, and envision a post-modern Africa’s role on the global stage. Through engaging with the creative expressions and intellectual discourses from Africa and the Caribbean, they will gain a deeper understanding of the innovative ways in which cultural narratives can address and navigate global challenges.
