Learning outcomes

Part I - Francophonies d’Orient
Invitation au voyage en Orient
In particular, the first part of the course, after an introduction to the general problems of francophone literatures, will focus on authors from Middle and Far East, and from Tahiti. Major themes will be the relationships between France and the ailleurs, identity and otherness, cultural relativism and exoticism, literary devices and intertextuality.

Part II - Francophonies d’Orient
Pétales de cerisiers et saris comme des oiseaux : Ananda Devi
The course aims to initiate students to an in-depth and critical study of the main Francophone authors of the Indian Ocean and other Eastern countries. Moreover, the professor intends to provide students with all the theoretical and methodological tools for the literary and linguistic analysis of the proposed texts. The lessons will be held in French, in order to improve the students’ linguistic level as well.
