FREN189A PO - Parisian Ecologies: Transformations in Art, Literature, Science and the City (1850-1930)

When Offered: Spring 2022
Instructor(s): V. Pouzet-Duzer
Credit: 1

In this course, students will analyze French novels and poetry by writers such as Emile Zola and Charles Baudelaire, French prints and drawings from the Benton Museum’s permanent collection, along with contemporary studies of the environment. Uncannily paralleling today’s debates about land use, gentrification, disease control, and environmental sustainability, Parisian Ecologies offers a history lesson as well as a demonstration of the wide array of printmaking techniques employed by the artists in their chronicles of the modern city. The research and discussions will culminate in an exhibition at the Benton Museum, for which students will create a publication. Letter grade only. Prerequisites: FREN101 PO or equivalent.
