Beyond Le Triangle et l'Hexagone: Narrating the (Hi)story and the Self
FRE4612.01
Course Description
Summary
Departing from my book Le Triangle et l’Hexagone: Réflexions sur une identité noire (La Découverte, 2020), the course proposes an analysis of the racial context of contemporary France, at times in comparison with that of the United States. The focus of the course will be set on narrations: historical, sociological and artistic (literature, film, music). Participants to this course will be invited to ponder the perpetual, unsettling movement going between the personal, the intimate and the public and political. How does this tense motion is articulated and translated? Intermediate high. Conducted in French.Prerequisites
