This course proposes to explore art and politics in France from the revolution to the present. Through a multimedia approach - including sculptures, paintings, prints, commemorative monuments, architecture, street art and photographs - we will retrace the changing forms that some of the most salient political messages have taken in modern French art. The course will follow a chronological progression, from Revolution to Empire, followed by the rise and fall of the IInd Empire, and the resulting thirst for revenge. We will then broach the 20th century, including the politics of the avant-garde, the art of colonialism, the varied aesthetic responses to the rise of totalitarianism, on display at the 1937 World's Fair in Paris, and evident in the art of collaboration and resistance produced in Occupied and Vichy France during the Second World War. The art of 1960s countercultural contestation - anti-capitalist, anti-colonial, feminist, etc.--will then be studied, before examining recent initiatives in the realm of commemorative art and cultural display that approach issues facing contemporary French society today, including terrorism and constructively confronting its colonial legacy.

Offered upon request for students who have completed an Advanced French course. Focus on French writing style, enabling students to understand and master the subtleties of French writing.

This course explores the ways in which Paris can be seen as a cultural capital city of the Maghreb in the 20th and 21st centuries. It will center on the understanding of the place of the French capital city in the production of writers (including food writers), filmmakers, visual artists, architects, public intellectuals from Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia, and from the French citizens of the so-called 'second and third generations' of migrant parents from the Maghreb. We will examine foundational works while considering their engagement with the historical and political contexts in which they were produced, conveying the changing aspects of Parisian social landscape in the broader Francophone cultures of Paris (e.g. examining the dialogue with Francophone artists from Sub-Saharan Africa). The diverse topics discussed will include migration, colonialism and decolonization, political and social dissent, national and cultural identity, the politics of language, race and class, gender and sexuality, orality and textuality, and transmediterranean dynamics. We will analyse recent initiatives in the realm of commemorative events of the colonial past and its legacy, specifically of diverse controversies facing contemporary French and North African societies today. We will also have the opportunity to interact with some of the authors as special guests: Benjamin Stora, Leïla Slimani, Sophia Aouine, Tarik Oualalou. Class-visits to the Institut du Monde Arabe, Great Mosque of Paris, Palais de la Porte Dorée, Jewish North African quarters (Le Marais, Belleville), cooking class and couscous lunch in the Latin Quarter

The human genome carries the instructions for normal human development and reproduction. But it also carries predispositions to disease, and clues to our evolution, ancestry, and identity. The genome may also be pliable to environmental influences and genetic engineering. Through directed readings, activities and Paris field trips, students will learn about the human genome and applications of genome science and technology across diverse disciplines including medicine, comparative and evolutionary biology, paternity testing and forensics. A particular emphasis will be France's contributions to genome science, and uniquely French perspectives on the ethical, legal, and societal implications. The broad goal is to become informed and engaged about genome science and its impact on both the individual and society.

Science is generally considered to be a universal subject, independent of national boundaries. However, a closer examination reveals historical distinctions, notably for specific features of scientific endeavors in France for which certain aspects persist to the present time. In particular, the Cartesian influence is readily contrasted to Anglo-Saxon empiricism. Exploring this topic will focus on key past discoveries (especially in genetics and epigenetics), the reception of scientific achievements by women, and insights obtained through the lens of Nobel Prizes. Contentious issues will be debated by students assuming opposing views.
