This first-year seminar will explore French literature and films for and about children. At the heart of our discussions in this class will be the question of how adults construct the child's point of view. How can we define childhood? How can we evoke it through narrative? How ought we make art for children? We'll look at a variety of sources including Marjane Satrapi's graphic novel memoir Persepolis, Antoine de St. Exupéry's The Little Prince, 19th-century didactic literature, films by François Truffaut, and classic fairy tales. No knowledge of French is required; all readings will be in translation and discussions will be in English. We will work on a variety of critical writing formats and students will also have the opportunity to produce creative writing as well. |
