FREN 462 - 1968: art, média, contestation

FC ARHU CD

4 credits
Many remember 1968 as a culminating or turning point for the 20th century, when the shock of youthful and leftist revolutions reverberated around the world. This interdisciplinary course provides a time capsule and vigorous examination of 1968 through reflections on history, theatre, theory, and especially cinema of that mythical year. We will focus on France, especially Paris, as a crucial site for upheaval yet cultural transformation, but also study conflict and change in Algeria, Senegal, and Vietnam. Taught in French.

Prerequisites: two 300-level courses beyond 301.
