This course will explore the genre of the short story in modern France through close reading of a selection of tales. The representation and playing out of gender guides the choice of texts and their analysis. A variety of approaches (feminist, thematic, psychoanalytic, cultural, narratological) will be used to shed light on the ways in which these stories construct and deconstruct ideas of gender, construct a world and tie and untie their narrative knots. |
