FREN 111 SC: French Cinema: Images of Women

This course will concentrate on three aspects of the role of women in French film in order to define the relationship between women as icons (larger-than-life images in the collective fantasy of a certain “Frenchness”), women as subjects, and, finally, women as creators of film. Appropriate readings in French will be assigned. Some films may be shown without subtitles; discussion and written work will be in French. Instructor: D. Krauss. [Prequisite: FREN 44 or equivalent. Elective]
