Francophone Cultures Ii
A.Y. 2020/2021
Learning objectives
Through a transdisciplinary approach, the course aims to give the students an extensive knowledge of the cultural practices in the main French-speaking areas. To this purpose, various media (literary texts, critical texts, images, videos) will be used to understand the cultural and transcultural dynamics set up in those areas.
Expected learning outcomes
The ability, through specific critical tools, to understand, analyse and compare different cultural phenomena, sociological dynamics of relationship, intercultural and transcultural connections. More specifically, the student should get a wider vision of the multiple diversity of contemporary society and develop possible answers to the issues that will arise during this socio-cultural research.

Course syllabus
Ce cours envisagera la diffusion, la reprise et les transformations du surréalisme français au sein du monde francophone. Le début du cours introduira les étudiants à l'approche de la "World Literature" et à ses concepts fondamentaux, puis se penchera sur l'avant-garde surréaliste telle qu'elle a été créée en France au début des années 1920. La suite du cours portera sur la diffusion de ce mouvement artistique en Belgique, en Martinique et en Afrique francophone. Pour bien saisir la manière dont la francophonie innove en reprenant ou en contestant des traits culturels provenant de France, nous nous pencherons sur des textes littéraires (Paul Nougé, Marcel Mariën, Christian Dotremont, Aimé Césaire, Tchikaya U Tam'si, etc.), des peintures (Magritte notamment), de la musique (André Souris) et sur des films produits dans la sphère francophone. Le cours vise en somme à montrer que la modernité francophone se définit de manière ambivalente par rapport à la France, en affirmant sa singularité par la « digestion » de certaines innovations culturelles françaises, tout en l'influençant en retour.
