Learning unit contents
This year, the course will focus on prosaism.
The concept of prosaism encompasses many aspects. The disparagement to which it has long been subjected has been counterbalanced by efforts to restore its reputation, undertaken by writers (Baudelaire, Flaubert), painters (Courbet) and philosophers (Merleau-Ponty) alike. Through this lens, the powers of poetry are now being examined in the United States and Latin America: does prosaic poetry not have its own effectiveness?
