1 unit(s)

Topic for 2015/16b: Voices of Change. The course studies major literary works and movements of the twentieth century as a series of defining moments that reflect and instigate social change. The city of Paris is considered as the epicenter of cultural, intellectual and artistic ferment on an international scale, where literary encounters flourish in cafés, salons, and cabarets, generating new philosophies, magazines, and manifestos. Authors may include Colette, Gide, Césaire, Beckett, Camus, Sartre, Duras, Condé, Le Clézio, and Modiano. Mr. Andrews.
