Francophone Cultures Ii
A.Y. 2019/2020
Learning objectives
Through a transdisciplinary approach, the course aims to provide the student with an introduction to the knowledge of cultural and intercultural practices that have developed in the main French-speaking areas. To this end, various media will be used (literary texts, critical texts, images, videos) which, compared, will allow students to critically understand the cultural and transcultural dynamics in those areas and in comparison with metropolitan space.
Expected learning outcomes
The ability, throughout specific critical instruments, to understand, analyze and compare different cultural phenomena, socio-anthropological dynamics, intercultural and transcultural relationships. In particular, the aim is to allow the student to have the widest possible vision of the manifold diversity that make up contemporary societies and to develop possible responses to the problems that will arise in the course of this cultural investigation and in their practice and agency as mediators.

Course syllabus
Course title: From immigration to globalization : the French-speaking presence in Paris between the 19th and 21st century (Africa, Mediterranean, Americas, Asia).
Through the study of places, symbols and images of the French capital (taken from documentaries, but also from fiction, cinema, advertising, media and visual arts), we will analyse the cultural presence and social impact of Africa, Mediterranean countries, America and French-speaking Asia in Paris between the end of the 19th century and the present day. This study will allow us to observe, from time to time, the clash, ambiguity and exchange between different cultures that have found themselves living together. The course will pay particular attention to current events, also in a comparative perspective with the Italian situation.
Recommendations:
Since visual and documentary materials will be offered during the course, its regular attendance is highly recommended for those who wish to take the exam as a student. Attending students (and only them) can agree with the teacher on in-depth studies suited to their specific interests.
On the Ariel platform ("Culture francofone MED") will be uploaded, during the course, the Supplementary Materials (which constitute the pantry). All the annexes must be considered as an examination subject.
