FREN 045B. La France et le Maghreb

This course examines the relationship between France and the Maghreb, two cultural spaces that are simultaneously united and divided by their common violent colonial history. Through the study of novels, films, art work and theoretical texts, we will trace the evolution of this conflicted relationship from the 1950’s to present times. We will focus, in particular, on the following topics: (post) colonialism and nationalism, diglossia and Francophonie, gendered representation, immigration and exile, transculturation and globalization.
