"Enfances": Literature and Childhood
FREN 219
Spring 2025
Section: 01  

At the heart of our discussions in this class will be the question of how adults construct the child's point of view. How can we define childhood? How can we evoke it through narrative? How ought we make art for children? We'll explore a variety of literary and cinematic sources from the French speaking world including Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, the Comtesse de Ségur's Les Malheurs de Sophie, François Truffaut's L'Argent de Poche, and assorted French-language picture books. Along the way we will work on developing analytic and creative writing skills in French. (This course is conducted in French.)
