Francophone I: Identity Games

The Francophone 'I': Identity Games

THIS COURSE TAUGHT AT MILLS CAMPUS

This course attempts to understand the representation of the « I » francophone and the stakes associate with this person in a variety of Francophone literatures from 20th and 21st centuries. The course is designed as an analysis of the inherent phenomena of first person narratives as well as its historical, cultural and literary implications. In other words : How is the “I” represented? Who is “I”, in which point of view “I” is representing his point of view?
