Reading the French Avant-Garde
Understanding the Movement
This class will discuss the French avant-garde movement. While this term could refer to a period as early as the 19th century, the focus will be on the early to mid 20th century. The class will be conducted in English and French, and the literary texts will be in French.
We will read one or two short French language plays/novellas from this era and contextualize the history and significance of these texts with the avant-garde movement. The course requires basic French reading skills, although you can use a dictionary when needed. No prior knowledge of avant-garde subject matter is required.
This class is designed for those 50 and over and will meet for two hours on Tuesdays from September 20 through November 29 with instructor Adrienne Jarusco.
