FREN 445 - Imagining Isreal: The French-Jewish Experience


Credits: (3)
Georges Moustaki, Marcel Proust, Marc Chagall, and Simone Signoret are just a few of the many French musicians, writers, artists, and actors who find their heritage rooted in the Jewish faith. In fact, France possesses the fourth largest Jewish community in the world and presents a true mosaic of both Sephardic and Ashkenazic traditions through its blend of more firmly ensconced Jews from France joined with first- and second-generation Jewish immigrants from North Africa and Eastern Europe. This course will examine through a variety of cultural products (film, art, music and cinema), imagined portrayals of a Jewish home-land. Prerequisite(s): FREN 102 Beginning French II (3)  or equivalent. (Occasionally)
