101-102-103. Beginning Elementary French I, II, III. PQ: French 101 or
102, or placement. This three-quarter sequence has as its major objectives
the building of a solid foundation in the basic patterns of written and spoken
French and their use in everyday communication, as well as an understanding of
language and behavior as the reflection of sociocultural norms. Staff.
Autumn, Winter, Spring. The complete sequence is also offered in the summer
quarter.
121-122. Continuing Elementary French I, II. PQ: French 121 or
placement. This two-quarter course sequence has the same objectives as
French 101-102-103, but it is reserved for students with enough knowledge of
the language to permit a more rapid assimilation of its foundational linguistic
and phonetic patterns. Staff. Autumn, Winter.
201-202. Intermediate French I, II. PQ: French 103 or 122, or
placement. Completion of French 201 fulfills the Common Core foreign
language requirement. In this two-quarter sequence, emphasis is placed on
the extension of students' knowledge of the French language and culture to
include all communicatively relevant patterns, common exceptions to those
patterns, and their use in interactive discourse. At this level of study,
students also explore the nature of sociolinguistic and behavioral norms
particular to French culture as they relate to the development of native-like
competence in and interpretation of written and spoken French. In multisection
French 201 classes, readings are chosen according to students' interests, with
the sections geared to three tracks: humanities, social sciences, and natural
sciences. In French 202 classes, there are two tracks: literary readings and
nonfiction readings. In each case, students should register for the track that
corresponds to their interests. Staff. Autumn, Winter, Spring.
203. Intermediate French III. PQ: French 202 or placement. Students
in this course are expected to recognize and understand the functions of
linguistic patterns in different communicative contexts across the spoken and
written language and the cultural specificity/relativity of those patterns.
However, that study takes place primarily through the examination of literary
texts throughout various periods and debates/discussions prompted by this
examination. In multisection French 203 classes, readings are chosen according
to students' interests, with the sections geared to two tracks: literary
readings and nonfiction readings. As with French 202, the student should choose
the track that best corresponds with his or her interests. Staff. Autumn,
Spring.

French culture. Staff. Spring.

249. Great Works of French Classical Theater: Corneille, Racine,
Molière. PQ: Knowledge of French helpful. Not for RomLL
concentration credit. Seventeenth-century French playwrights created a new
and vastly influential form of theater by combining a rigorous code of formal
purity with innovative experiments in dramatic structure. Through close
readings of major plays, we examine how poetic and theatrical techniques are
employed to inspire terror, pity, admiration, or laughter. We also consider how
the plays dramatize the crucial issues of the early modern world--tragedy
presents conflicting views of human potential as well as problematic
representations of political authority; comedy provides a challenge to
religious hyprocrisy and social norms. L. Norman. Spring.
258. Polemics and Public Opinion: Voltaire and the Inventing of the "Public
Writer." PQ: Knowledge of French helpful. Not for RomLL concentration

characteristics of modern French cultural life. Voltaire initiated the
tradition of "public writers" who use the printed word to animate public debate
on legal, religious, philosophical, and political issues. While
referring to theoretical reflections on this subject by one of the twentieth
century's great "public writers," Jean-Paul Sartre, we read a broad range of
Voltaire's famous, biting satirical works. In particular, we focus on the
relationship between polemic technique and ideological content. We also
investigate the importance of the Enlightenment as a key historical movement in
the expansion of "public opinion." All work in English. J. Iverson.
