This seminar will focus on the relationships cultivated by French and francophone literatures with various forms of art (e.g., painting, photography, cinema, dance). The topics explored in this seminar are not limited to one particular artistic and literary work and may include different cultural contexts (e.g., France, Africa, Québec, Acadia) and historical periods (from the Middle Ages to the present), as well as different methodological approaches (including "intermedial" approaches such as image-text theories). Course may be taken more than once for credit as long as it is a separate section code/subtitle. Course topics for the upcoming year will be posted on the departmental website.
