FREN 40.03 Récits méditerranéens

In ‘Récits méditerranéens, pourtours mystiques I,’ we will focus on first-person narratives (ficitional and non-fictional, fictive and fictionalized) from across the modern Mediterranean Francophone world: Lebanon, Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco. We will exhaust the politics of autobiography, autofiction and autoportraiture as we unravel the mystical underpinnings of texts by Tahar Ben Jelloun, Hélène Cixous, Jacques Derrida, Assia Djebar, Edmond Jabès, Abdelkébir Khatibi, Amin Maalouf, Abdelwahab Meddeb, and Salah Stétié.

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.
