FREN 125 SC - Introduction to French Poetry


This course traces the changes in poetic structure and language from the traditional lyrical forms of the Middle Ages to the subversive poetics of such 20th-century avant-garde groups as the Surrealists and the poets of Tel Quel. The latter portion of the course will be devoted to poets whose effort to disrupt poetic conventions was to have not only aesthetic but also social and political ramifications, for language and the literary text were seen as instruments for social revolution. All students wishing to enroll in French language courses must take the Language Placement Test. Only those students who have had no more than one semester of high school French are exempt from taking this examination; they may enroll in FREN 001 SC - Introductory French . The lower-division program in French studies is part of Northern Colleges’ Joint French Program. Conversation groups are conducted by a native French speaker for all lower-division courses; hours are to be arranged.

Prerequisite(s): FREN 044  or equivalent. 
Course Credit: 1.0
