How do French-speakers today experience media such as video games, graphic novels, literature, film, YouTube, medieval manuscripts, pre-modern books, and others in the digital age? This course examines how stories get told in French across different kinds of media; in illuminated manuscripts and graphic novels, in novels and films, in video games and fan fiction. You’ll encounter some of the “classics” of French literature; and you’ll explore how these classics have been rethought, remediated, and revitalized for new media and new audiences in exciting ways. This course practices a supportive, structured approach to language acquisition, with a focus on boosting and enhancing your reading skills in French. Taught entirely in French. Recommended prerequisite: FR 0004 or 0104 or 0027/0227 or 0055/0255 or 0056/0256.
