First year (M1)Approaches to Language Variation and Change

CM 5

Course organization : CM (21h) Objectives and Method: This class aims at studying language variation and change within the variationist sociolinguistic paradigm. Sociolinguistic variation will be examined from different angles, looking particularly at diachronic, synchronic and spatial linguistic variation, and the effect of social variables on language use. From a historical point of view, we will examine the main theoretical frameworks and methodologies that have shaped the field of (variationist) sociolinguistics over the past five decades.

British Civilization (fr. Civilisation britannique): The Abolition of Slavery in Britain, 1760-1840

CM 5

Course organization : CM (21h) Objectives and course content : The course will consider a critical moment in modern Briti-sh history, the abolition first of the slave trade in the British Empire (1807), then of slavery itself (1838). From being one of the most active slave-trading nations, Britain became, within the space of a few decades, a firm supporter of “abolitionism”, both at home and abroad. How did this remarkable transition take place? Who were the actors? What were their motivations? And what forces, economic, political and ideological, stood in their way? These questions will be explored through an intensive study of the primary sources of the period (available on-line), and by considering how historians have chosen to analyze this complex, but fascinating subject.

English-language literature: Victorian narration and 19th century Britain (fr. Littérature anglophone: Narration victorienne/Nineteenth-century narration in Britain)

CM 5

Course organization : CM (21h) Objectives and Method: Through the study of texts and pictures created in the nineteenth century (prose fiction, poetry, criticism, painting, photography), this class will explore the notion of narration in its many Victorian avatars. Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre will be read as an experiment on the use of the first-person narrator. Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland will provide an example of the close relation between text and image, to be completed by some of Christina Rossetti’s fairy tales.

English Literature: Modern reading and texts (fr. Lit-térature anglaise: lecture et textes modernes)

CM 5

Course organization: CM (21h) Objective and course contents : The course aims to introduce students to the innovations brought by the Modernist period to the English novel. A new genre, poetic fiction, emerges in response to the conditions of our modernity, characterized by the general collapse of old ideals. Its object is less description (of a state of society, of the psychological development of character) than exploration of the “thing beneath the semblance of the thing” (V. Woolf) when the veil of reality tears up. How to make room for this new “passion for the Real” which according to Alain Badiou characterizes the Twentieth Century? How to account for the emergence of affects like fear, anxiety, melancholy but also joy in such brief moments of contact (Joyce’s “epiphanies”, Woolf’s “moments of being”, Mansfield’s “blazing moments”)? What relation to language, symbolic reality (in particular gender roles), and to the human body does this imply? The course will develop these issues taking examples from the texts on the reading programme. Bibliography: • Woolf, Virginia. The Waves. (any edition) • Mansfield, Katherine.

It offers a detailed overview of the various processes of word-formation (affixation, compounding, conversion, clipping, blending, replication) and introduces the core concepts of morphology both through weekly reading assignments and through the hands-on analysis of linguistic data.

First year (M1)Modern American Writings (fr. Ecritures modernistes américaines)

CM 5

Course organization : CM (21h) Objectives and Method: By examining how American modernist practices defy our reading habits we will attempt to delineate what new hermeneutic strategies those texts urge us to explore. The high modernist tradition coincides with major changes in the writing of poetry. The analysis of individual works and styles will reveal the innovative, disruptive and lyrical nature of modernist poetics as well as the political and theoretical challenges at stake. American poetry questions and unravels the very notion of literature and writing present throughout the Western tradition. Post-structuralist critical notions may thus prove central to our understanding of American modernism.

First year (M1)South African Literature (fr. Literature sud-africaine)

CM 5

Course organization : CM (21h) This seminar offers an introduction to South African literature through two of its acclaimed representatives: Nadine Gordimer and J.M. Coetzee. As most of their works were written during the infamous apartheid regime, both authors were faced with the crucial question of how to write literature in the “cauldron of history”, how to address political issues whilst questioning all position of authority – first and foremost their own. Although each writer’s response is markedly different, the intensity of their fiction lies in the power of their vision and in the strength of their writing. It is through a close reading of one of Coetzee’s novels and of a selection of short stories by Gordimer that we propose to examine their respective ethical and aesthetic stances.Bibliography: J.M. Coetzee, Waiting for the Barbarians (1980), Vintage, 2004. Nadine Gordimer, Life Times, Stories 1952-2007, Bloomsbury, 2011. (A selection of stories will be placed on the “BV”).

First year (M1)Theory and method in Civilization Studies

CM 5

Course organization : CM (21h) Objectives and course content: This course aims to introduce students to the theories and methodology of the social sciences, as used in civilization studies. The theoretical and methodological questions faced by all social researchers will be raised (theorizing, contextualization, action/structure, objectivity versus subjectivity, etc.), by looking at how the traditions inspired by the pioneering work of Emile Durkheim, Karl Marx and Max Weber approach these issues. The practical problems involved in fieldwork in the social sciences will also be considered, through a study of how sociologists, historians and anthropologists approach their chosen field of inquiry.Bibliography: • Powers, Charles H.

Victorian British Civilization (fr. Civilisation britannique victorienne): Crime and Punishment in Britain, 1800-1914)

CM 5

Course organization: CM (21h) Objectives and method: This course aims to provide the student with a detailed knowledge of crime and criminal justice policy in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Britain. It will concentrate on the way in which Victorians and Edwardians sought to make sense of the apparent “crime wave” hitting their country, together with the policies put in place in an effort to bring crime under control. This discussion will be placed in a historiographical context and a varied selection of contemporary documents will be used to illustrate the themes of the course. Among the themes covered will be the “rise” of crime; transportation; Jeremy Bentham’s Panopticon and the penitentiary movement; capital punishment; women and crime; the “scientific” study of the criminal (phrenology, physiognomy, criminal anthropology, etc.), and eugenics.Bibliography: • Davie, Neil, Tracing the Criminal: The Rise of Scientific Criminology in Britain, 1860-1918, Oxford, Bardwell Press, 2005. • Emsley, Clive, Crime and Society in England 1750-1900, 4th edition, London, Longmans, 2010. • Godfrey, Paul & Lawrence, Paul, Crime and Justice 1750-1950, Cullompton, Willan, 2005. • Rawlings, Philip, Crime and Power: A History of Criminal Justice 1688-1998, London, Longman, 1999. • Wiener, Martin J., Reconstructing the Criminal: Culture, Law and Policy in England, 1830-1914, Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 1990.
