COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is a 1000-level French course, taught in English, and open to all students. It will offer students an interdisciplinary approach to the city of Paris, through literature, visual culture, film, history and myth. From its seventeenth-century reputation as the first modern city to its current role as the city of fashion, from the French Revolution to the 2023 riots, from the Louvre to the Eiffel Tower, and from its popular cultural associations as the city of romance, Paris will be explored in all its richness and diversity. We will take a journey through this quasi-mythical global city, asking what makes Paris "Paris", and why it has attracted admirers from across the world.
