FREN 180 SC - Danse et littérature: de l’écrivain fascine au chorégraphe érudit


In this course, we will examine philosophical debates about the dancing body from 19th-century representations of the female dancer as the “floating” creature of Modernity (Baudelaire, Gautier, Mallarme, and Zola) to contemporary choreographic adaptations of texts on stage (Beckett and Maguy Marin, Jean Genet and Prejlocaj, Christine Angot and Monnier). This will allow us to understand the connections between writing about performances and writing for performances. Satisfies the pre-1900 requirement.

Prerequisite(s): FREN 044
