This advanced reading and writing workshop in French centers on conceptions of nature in French-speaking traditions through a variety of primary sources (legal documents, literary texts, visual images, film, maps). The course will explore the meanings and uses of the terms « nature » and « natural » in connection with conceptions of identity and society, reflexions on human rights, the artificial, and on environmental sustainability.
Required texts : one book to purchase (Molière’s École des femmes) plus selected readings (available on bCourses)
Course is conducted entirely in French.
