FREN 45.02 The Art and Influence of Conversation

We will resurrect the conversations among men and women in seventeenth and eighteenth-century France. Questions include: What is the relationship between the individual and society? What roles do literature and philosophy play? What are women's and men's "natural" functions in society? What effect does contact with different cultures have on a society or the individual? Authors may include: Descartes, Corneille, Sévigné, Lafayette, Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot, de Gouges, Montesquieu, and Graffigny, among others.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
