Examines a quintessential French figure "l'intellectuel" from a long-term historical perspective. We will observe how this figure was shaped over time by such other cultural types as the writer, the artist, the historian, the philosopher, and the moralist. Proceeding in counter-chronological order, from the late 20th to the 16th century, we will read a collection of classic French works. As this course is a gateway for French studies, special emphasis will be placed on oral proficiency. Taught in French; readings in French.

FRENCH 120E: Introduction to the Medical Humanities (ANTHRO 120H, DLCL 120, ITALIAN 120)
Medical Humanities is a humanistic and interdisciplinary approach to the topic of medicine. It explores the experience of health and illness as captured through the expressive arts (painting, music and literature), across historical periods and in different cultures, and as interpreted by humanistic scholars in the humanities and social sciences as well as in medicine and policy. Its goal is to give students and scholars an opportunity to explore a more holistic and meaning- centered perspective on medical issues. It draws attention not only to diagnosis, but to the meaning and experience of illness and healing, to the way that medicine is an art form as well as a science, and to the way institutions and culture shape illness.
