FREN 113 SC - Banned in France: Censorship Debates in Eighteenth-Century France
This course considers key ideas and cultural debates of the French Enlightenment by pivoting between the eighteenth century and the present day. Three questions guide our readings and discussions: “Can religion be laughed at?” “How and why is sex and sexual violence discussed in public?” “Can theater change, or merely reflect ideas?” Our purpose is not to find definitive answers, but to understand and critically assess how texts grapple with these questions in the eighteenth century and today. Readings will include Diderot, Gouges, Rousseau, Voltaire, and a range of current texts, from press articles to scholarly essays.
Course Credit: 1.0
Offered: Every three years
