FREN 35.03 Fifty Shades of Language: Finding pleasure in literary constraints

Inspired by disciplined yet playful research on language (authors such as Queneau and Perec), this course will consist of translation and creative writing workshops. Advanced students will improve their linguistic skills and understanding of language registers, fine points of grammar, and stylistic devices, and gain a better appreciation of the subtleties of French and Francophone literature.
Our sources will include fiction, poetry, humor, biographies and newspaper articles.

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.
