FREN107 PO - Francophone Futurity: Utopian and Dystopian ImaginariesWhen Offered: Offered alternate years; next offered spring 2024
Instructor(s): T. Muzart
Credit: 1
Favoring imminent potentialities over unpredictable possibilities, futurity allows for the critical approach of the present and the imagining of what is to come. In this course, we will explore how Francophone authors, artists, and thinkers appropriate to such a notion to address the challenges of their times. Oscillating between hopeful horizons and anxious tomorrows, the works under study will bring to the fore pressing issues such as ecology, gender, postcolonialism, race, religion, sexuality, and social justice. The analysis of world-making alternatives will further bring us to interrogate our understanding of local, national, and global frameworks, including Afrofuturism and cosmopolitanism.
