Intro to Francophone World
Introduction au monde francophone / Introduction to the Francophone World
This course introduces a major theme in French studies, whose understanding has become absolutely indispensable—for French teachers especially—in its many aspects: history, society, culture, language. Coursework will therefore combine a study of the French-speaking regions, of ways of expressing identity through the French language, and of language meeting culture, with an analysis of transnational Francophone strategies for development and solidarity.
Text: A course pack will be provided.
Recommended Texts: Coll., Mondes francophones, ADPF Éditions, 2006 ; Jacques Barrat, Claude Moisei, Géopolitique de la francophonie, un nouveau souffle ?, Paris, La documentation française, 2004 ; Xavier Deniau, La francophonie, PUF, « Que sais-je », 1986 ; D. Wolton, Demain la francophonie, Paris, Flammarion, 2006.
