Francophone Language and Cultures through the Supernatural

Back to "Spring 2026" courses

This interdisciplinary, discussion-based course takes you on a journey into the supernatural while improving your fluency in French. It provides a broad survey of genres and mediums, including fairy tales, utopias, comics, science fiction, and films. Exploring the boundaries between reality and imagination, we will examine works by authors such as Perrault, Maupassant, Chamoiseau, Hergé, Ibrahima Sall, Voltaire, Chris Marker, and Coline Serreau. Through the study of language and the analysis of cultural material, the course will give you a deeper understanding of Francophone societies and strengthen your oral, writing and analytical skills.
