Learning unit contents

On the one hand, the course aims to introduce students to, or remind them of, the main literary movements from the 16th century to the first half of the 20th century that have marked the French literary field. It seeks to offer the theoretical tools necessary to understand and analyze literary texts and works by taking into account the historical, sociological, and stylistic specificities of a particular era or literary movement.

In addition, the course aims to highlight French authors, belonging to a literary movement covered in the course, who may have worked as translators.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

The student will be able to explain the specificities of the literary movements studied in the course and analyze the emblematic texts of these movements using the theoretical tools seen in class. They will also be able to identify, from a text not previously seen, the components that allow it to be linked to a specific literary movement.

Further information:

This learning unit is subject to the "absorbing grade" principle, meaning that if a grade lower than 8/20 is given for one of the learning activities (AA), it becomes the overall grade for the entire unit. Only the failed AA exam will be retaken in the second session.

Only grades with decimals of .8 and .9 will be rounded up to the next whole number. For example, a grade of 7.6/20 will not be rounded up to 8/20.

The final exam will be an oral examination on the course material (text analysis, literary movements, etc.).

The grade for the Literature learning activity (AA) accounts for 60 percent of the overall grade for the learning unit (UE), which it forms together with the Communication learning activity (AA).
