FR3320 — Storytelling
This course, taught in French, examines various forms of storytelling in the French-speaking world, including France, North Africa, and the French Caribbean. Students will use the history and storytelling process of these different cultures to analyze how stories influence the societies in which they are created. More specifically, they will explore how stories normalize social attitudes, preserve generations of cultural knowledge, challenge traditions, and even serve as the foundation of cultural identities. Additionally, through their analysis and comparison of different stories, students will identify how Francophone cultures have influenced one another over time through slavery, colonization, and globalization. pre-req: FR 1202 or instructor consent
