FREN 045A. Le monde francophone: Littératures afro-caribéennes In this course, we will analyze a selection of key literary texts (novel, short story, poetry, film, visual art and/or theater) by authors from the Francophone Caribbean in their historical and cultural contexts. Francophone Afro-Caribbean literatures are the literary and cultural expression of people from the French-speaking Caribbean including Haiti, Martinique, Guadeloupe, and French Guiana. By exploring the construction of a Caribbean identity through and beyond Négritude, Antillanité, Créolité, feminism/womanism, relation and migration, we will critically engage with selected works by Aimé Césaire, Patrick Chamoiseau, Edouard Glissant, Léon Gontran-Damas, Maryse Condé, Simone Schwarz-Bart, Suzanne Césaire, and many others. Prerequisite: FREN 015 or placement required. Humanities. 1 credit. Eligible for BLST, GLBL-paired. Spring 2023. Smith.
