FREN 10.13 Games People Play

For both adults and children, fun and games can be serious business. This course explores the cultural and social functions of games and play as depicted in literature and film. We will be especially interested in differences in the way the French and Americans play, focusing on notions like fun, playfulness, and humor. Readings may include works by Scudéry, Molière, Marivaux, Maupassant, and Pagnol.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
