The course is aimed at students who wish to familiarize themselves with modern French Canadian literature, notably that of Quebec. Through the study of major representative works, it explores the themes have that marked this period and remain relevant today: the relationship between individual identity and social identity, the importance of French and American cultures, the question of modernity in everyday life and, above all, the aesthetic manifestations of contemporary multiculturalism.
Through lectures, talks, presentations, audiovisual resources and discussions that encourage active learning, students will have the opportunity to grasp the unique character of this literary tradition, its importance for Canadian culture, and its influential position within the broader context of Francophone literature. The course also enables students to apply the critical skills developed in earlier courses, and that are necessary to the advanced study, interpretation and understanding of literary texts.
