Course Description:
France and French culture have as multifaceted a notoriety as it is global, which therefore comes with many clichés; and art plays a key role in this popular imagination. This course aims at studying the role of the arts in France by looking at the history of French art through the lens of various periods, artists and forms of art (visual arts, decorative arts, craftsmanship, perfumes, video games, cinema and series etc.). The course will pair the study of these types of art with their representations and/or reappropriations in other countries and cultures, sometimes using the pastiche of a style or work of art abroad as a starting point to discover the original French version. This class offers an exploration of France’s artistic practices and their portrayals, as well as tools for analysing works of art in a critical and clearly-structured way. Students will be given the opportunity to work
