Course contents :
|
| After an introduction to the history and current status of rhetoric and semiology in the area of the human sciences, the course will focus on that specific topic: theories of doxa.
This issue will be addressed primarily through Ruth Amossy and Anne Herschberg-Pierrot's Stéréotypes et clichés. Langue, discours, société (Paris, Armand Colin, 2011, 3e édition), which reading will be mandatory.
The teacher will first introduce the main theories of doxa; Amossy and Herschberg-Pierrot's work would then be completed by other essays, to support the discussion of more accurate issues, such as : linguistic approach of stereotypes, argumentative uses of doxa, literature and commonplaces, the fields of politics, media and advertisement, etc.
The course will end with different concrete case studies on literary and non-literary corpus. Students will have themselves to produce a case study on a freely chosen corpus. The concrete modalities of this work will be discussed and negociated at the beginning of the course.
As a preparation to the final examination, and on request from the students, the last session of the course will be dedicated to the topic of verbal interactions. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| By the end of the course, students will be able to :

- know and locate the main theories of metaphor;
- read and discuss a hard theoretical piece of work;
- produce an original and sharp case study on a literary or non-literary cultural production. - deal with a verbal interaction such as an oral examination at the university. |
