FREN 128 SC - Writing Memory
This course focuses on a group of texts that emerge out of the occupation of France during World War II. Some are diaries or autobiographical accounts while others are works of fiction published long after the end of the war. All are concerned with how memory and the self are written and, taken together, they constitute an informal archive standing against oblivion. This course is designed around the exhibition “Hélène Berr, A Stolen Life,” to be held at the Scripps Clark Humanities Museum, and a significant portion of the course will be spent studying French survivors’ audiovisual testimonies. We will be asking what testimonies, in all their forms, do to literature and how literature interacts with other sources. Special attention will be given to accounts given by women and they will be read in contrast with accounts written about women.
Course Credit: 1.0
