FREN 53.08 Paris, philosophies de l'espace

Paris has been described in numerous disciplines and media:  literature, philosophy, cinema, photography, painting, sociology, geography, etc.  What usage schemes characterize the city?  How are often conflicting identities generated when individuals seek to inhabit and negotiate the hierarchies of its neighborhoods? How do diverse thinkers, filmmakers, and photographers describe and represent the class, ethnic, and gender clashes that play out in urban space?  In what ways do affective “investments” saturate Parisian streets, buildings, and businesses?

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.
