B.Sc.: The image of woman in the French novel through the ages (17th-20th century). 3304-1DZ3O-SL-032
This seminar proposes to trace the image of woman in the French novel from the seventeenth century to the present day. In order to do so, students will study selected readings or excerpts from them that depict a woman in various life situations (marriage, motherhood, single life, adultery, work, education, carnality, medicine, etc.). The indicated novels will also be discussed from the perspective of other texts from the period as well as contemporary studies, which aim to broaden the knowledge of women's attempts at emancipation and its limitations. The analysis of the different texts aims to understand the changes/ persistence of the tradition in French society. Furthermore, in order to see the image of women in the novel, it will be necessary to study the evolution of the novel itself as a literary genre linked to cultural changes.
