TAUGHT IN ENGLISH

Major French Writers in Translation – Keeping it Real: Life Writing in France from 1975 to the present – Social networks have naturalized a practice—talking about oneself—that in fact has a complex history, filled with moral and philosophical debates: Should one do it? And, more recently, can one do it? This doubt has been haunting French autobiography since the mid-1970s, as a strong current in the Humanities questioned the reliability of memory, the immutability of the 'I' who tells of his or her life, and the distinction of fact and fiction. The course will examine how major writers (Georges Perec, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Annie Ernaux), as well as best-selling contemporary authors (Delphine de Vigan, Edouard Louis) have dealt with these issues, and succeeded in renewing a genre once considered either impossible or dead. The texts will be read in translation and discussion will be in English.

*Credit not given for both this course and another 595:280 or 281 course with same subtitle.

This course introduces students to the powerfully personal and political world of Latinx spoken word poetry. Spoken word is high-energy poetry written to be performed onstage for audiences from a wide range of socio-cultural backgrounds. This performed poetry is often associated with hip-hop culture and draws upon racial, economic, and gender injustices as well as current events for its subject manner. The course will explore the theme of “crossing boundaries” with a focus on issues of language such as bilingualism, code switching, and the use of Spanglish. Bilingual students are welcome, but no previous knowledge of Spanish is necessary!
