FREN221

This paper considers European cultures in both national and comparative frameworks, and is jointly taught with GERM221 and SPAN221. In the common component (Weeks 1-3 and 11-12), students develop an understanding of the ways in which European identities have been generated in historical and modern contexts. In the French stream, (weeks 4-10), students consider how French cuisine has shaped traditional and modern French society and its national and regional identities with examples from history, literature and film.

Lectures are two hours per week. The jointly taught lectures will be in English. Lectures in the French stream and all tutorials (1 hour per week) will be in French.
