FREN 310 The Art of Scandal 6 credits
What is scandal? Is it a product of the time and place where it occurs, or can it transcend national and temporal boundaries? This course seeks answers to these questions by examining the texts, films, and artistic productions that caused, exposed, or critiqued a scandal. We will explore topics such as passion, lies, revenge, rumor, and murder. From the Affair of the Poisons during the reign of Louis XIV to controversy over France’s literary prize (the Goncourt), we will analyze the evolution of social norms and public opinions in global French culture from the seventeenth century to the present day.

POSC 348 Strangers, Foreigners, and Exiles 6 credits
All over the world today, right-wing parties are winning the electorate with their anti-immigrant rhetoric. We are told that national identity, cultural heritage, civilizational values and even our jobs are threatened by the growing presence of the immigrants. In this course we will explore the complex and multifaceted reality of strangers’ and foreigners’ presence in modern societies. We will also try to understand what being an exile means for the human condition and what moral obligations we have toward refugees and other displaced people. Among others, our partners of conversation will be Hannah Arendt, Jacques Derrida, Tzvetan Todorov, Zygmunt Bauman, and Edward Said.
