FRE276   La Francophonie: Langue, Colonie et Civilisation II   (10 credits)

Description

Taking as its focus the current institution of francophonie, this course seeks to subvert the standard textbook presentation of francophonie as a colourful, even 'exotic' addition to French Studies courses through an exploration of the politics and polemics which have followed the idea of francophonie since its inception. Building upon critical awareness and knowledge of sub-Saharan African perspectives developed in the previous module, students will examine the very different debates over francophonie in North Africa.
