Fall 2021, LIT 195A-01: Topic: Francophone Literature in Translation (3). This course will offer an exploration of literary works across several genres (poetry, theater, prose) from the French speaking world from North Africa to the Caribbeans to Canada, Belgium and France. In addition to literary works, several films by Francophone filmmakers will be part of the course materials. We will explore the thematic and aesthetic universes of artistic products created both within and outside of France across the wide post-colonial spectrum. (HL) Radulescu.
