Catalog description
Advanced Special Topic: Parole des femmes : Voix, corps et imaginaires de la Caraïbe. The French Caribbean is a rich space of cultural creation, yet it remains less studied than its Anglophone and Hispanophone counterparts. Even within existing scholarship, women creators are often marginalized. This seminar examines literary and cinematic works by women and about women from Martinique, Guadeloupe, and Haiti. We will explore both the different and shared dimensions of the experiences of women through the works of Marie Chauvet, Françoise Ega, Maryse Condé, among others. Taught in French. Prerequisite: FRN 312 or 313.
