Description
This course offers an introduction to the cultures of Francophone Canada, with emphasis on the cultural expression of the Francophone communities in Manitoba, as well as on that of Quebec. Students study cultural material such as journalistic articles, festivals, film, television, music, comics and advertising in historical, social and political context. The development of Francophone cultures in minority contexts is central to the course. Students examine changing representations of women, the formation and evolution of national consciousness in Quebec and questions about what it means to be Francophone or Quebecois in a diverse society.
