The course studies the works of the most recognized authors of Frenchspeaking contemporary literature, locates them in their context and brings out the singular answer they have given to the discourses peculiar to the time. The course will focus on three areas : 1) the question of the narrative, 2) the crisis of the identifications, 3) literature in a world of images. The seminary promotes the exportation of the theoretical tools explained during the course and their personal use by students. A personal research study leads to an oral presentation and subsequently a written report which takes account of the oral sharing of results.
