- Course Description
- This theater history seminar will study how current productions from across the francophone world engage with French theater’s neo-classical past to shape francophone drama in different ways. Students can expect close readings of the French seventeenth-century dramatic canon (Corneille, Racine, Molière) as well as comparative analyses of 21st century Francophone plays (Mouawad, Reza, NDiaye, Shaheman, Lemoine, Kwahulé). Grades will be based on a presentation and scaffolded final paper. Readings in French, seminar language in French with English as needed.
