| FREN 2322 - Making of the "Other" Americas |
|
This course offers a critical dimension to hemispheric
studies and to student's understanding of Texas, American,
and Latin American histories by the vast and continued
influence of France in the New World from Canada to the
Caribbean to South America. The cultural development of the
New World is inextricably linked to France not only in
Canada and the United States but also in the Caribbean,
Central and South America. This course introduces students
to everything from discussion about colonization, the "noble
savage," and the Atlantic slave trade to cultural hybridity,
creoleness and music. The trajectory begins with the French
colonies and extends to an analysis of its contemporary
stakes in its territory in the French Antilles and Guyana
where the European Space program is centered. The course
takes advantage of new technologies and content delivery
methods that complement the inherent multi-media aspects of
culture, for example, newsreel footage, radio broadcasts,
political speeches, and television commercials.
