Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Beachten Sie bitte, dass die Unterrichtssprache der LV Englisch ist!
This course chronologically traces the origins and the developments of the contemporary Francophone woman’s novel in Canada. Studying these novels will introduce students to the most important literary works written by Francophone female writers in Canada and to fictional representations of women living in Quebec throughout the last four decades. Additionally, how social, political, and language issues relate to gender and how this literature employs and advances feminist theory will be discussed; thus, this course will provide students with a strong foundation in Francophone Canadian women’s literature, feminist literary theory, and in the major historical, social, political, and linguistic issues which shape and are shaped by gender in this context.
Course Goals:

This course aims to broaden one's interdisciplinary understanding of Québec and French-speaking Canada. Students will analyze and integrate information from readings, lectures, class discussions, and audiovisual materials as they learn to identify and understand better the style, language, and issues evident in women’s writing in the 20th and 21st centuries. Students will learn to appreciate the connections among literature, history, gender politics, language, and gender/women’s movements in the 20th and 21st centuries in Québec and in Canada, as well as globally.

Teaching Methods:
Teaching will be based on a mix of formal lectures and guided class discussions based on specific topics and novel, and small group work/discussion.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Assessment and permitted materials
Students are required to submit one research essay of approximately 10,000 words on or before June 25 (worth 50%). A 20 minute presentation, with an accompanying essay of 2500 words, worth 30 % will be delivered during one of our class periods at the end of the course. You will also be responsible for signing up to lead discussion for one class by coming to class with three questions prepared in advance – this will contribute 10% to your discussion grade of 20%.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Assessment for this course will be based on attendance, on the essays, the presentation, and on class participation (includes signing up for a text in which you will be responsible for posing three questions worth 10% of your 20% participation grade). Grading of the essays will be based on coherence of argument, textual interpretation, quality of research sources, and writing style, and not on the position taken. The presentation will be evaluated according to your volume, pace, and tone, your demeanor, and overall delivery. You will provide the class with a handout and turn in a short essay based on your presentation. Since the class will be conducted in English, it is prudent for students to have a fine understanding of written and spoken English. There will be no examination for this course.

Assessment for this course will be based on the essay, presentation, and discussion, all of which will be based on lecture content, research, and the novels. Since the class will be conducted in English, it is prudent for students to have a fine understanding of written and spoken English.
