EDUCO/DUKE COURSES

The EDUCO courses listed below are scheduled to be offered at the EDUCO Center in the 2008-2009 academic year. The Duke departments and course numbers are indicated.

All students studying with Duke in France for the fall semester only must take a minimum of two EDUCO courses out of a total of four to receive credit.

Spring semester students may take all four courses at the French universities if they so wish.

For Duke students, only EDUCO courses will earn a Duke grade on your transcript. Other courses will be listed as transfer credit.

For non-Duke students, Duke letter grades will appear on the Duke transcript for all courses.

FALL 2008 COURSES

FRENCH 185 (ALP, CCI, FL) : French Theater. Professor Clare Tufts. One course credit.

ARTHIST 160.56 (ALP, CCI) / FRENCH 185 (ALP, CCI, FL): XVIIIth - XIXth French Art: The Invention of Modernity. This course introduces students to a key period in the history of visual arts in France. From the 18th to the 19th centuries, the art world experienced many disruptions that contributed to a revolution in pictoral language. From an institutional perspective, the progressive dismanteling of the monarchy and its sponsorship of the art in the Old Regime produced a new equilibrium of institutional forces within the art world. The emergence of the art market and art critiques was accompanied by the development of a static administration of the arts - the creation of the Academy of Beaux-arts in 1816, development of a network of Parisian museums, and the creation of provincial museums based on pieces confiscated during the Revolution. Professor Guichard. One course credit.

FRENCH 194 (CCI, FL): Advanced Expression. This course focuses on grammar and communication with the objective of achieving an effective level of communication. This requires a mastery of both the spoken language and of grammar and syntax, as well as a thorough understanding of the cultural context. One section will be devoted to Grammar and Communication and the other section will study Phonetics and Communication. Professor Gourévitch. One course credit.

ICS approved / FRENCH and CULANTH APPROVALS REQUESTED: Immigration et multiculturalisme en France et en Europe (Immigration and multiculturalism in France and Europe). This interdisciplinary seminar addresses the central questions that arise in debates about multicultural societies and gives an overview of the debates that have arisen among scholars in the field of migration and ethnic studies. The main focus is on France but comparative studies and European-level developments will be examined when relevant. The seminar is constructed as a dialogue across social science and humanities in a way that provides students with a varied set of analytical tools and shows the added value of each discipline in understanding the same issue.  We first look at the history of immigration in France. This will involve reading the work of historian Gérard Noiriel and visiting the National Immigration History Museum and viewing Inch’allah dimanche.
We then ask with demographers such as François Héran, director of the French Population Institute (INED), sociologists and economists what causes and sustains migration flows.  We also look at the work of Abdelmayek Sayad that seeks to study migration as a transnational process and studies both home and host countries. We will examine the role of the state in channelling migration flows and incorporating migrants, and the determinants of both migration and immigrant policies an issue that has recently received the attention of political sociologists and scholars of comparative politics and international relations. Professeur Virginie Guiraudon. One course credit.

SPRING 2009 COURSES

FRENCH 185 (ALP, CCI, FL) : French Theater. Professor Clare Tufts. One course credit.

FRENCH 194 (CCI, FL) : Advanced Expression. This course focuses on grammar and communication with the objective of achieving an effective level of communication. This requires a mastery of both the spoken language and of grammar and syntax, as well as a thorough understanding of the cultural context. Professor Gourévitch. One course credit.

FRENCH 114 (CZ, FL, CCI): Sociology of Culture. Il y a peu de notions utilisées par les sciences humaines ou sociales de manière plus imprécise que celle de "culture ". Cette notion se décline au sens ethnologique ou au sens anthropologique (culture "populaire " ou culture de "masse ") comme système global d'interprétation du monde et des comportements, ou au sens géographique (culture locale, régionale, nationale). La culture peut être comprise comme l'expression collective d'un groupe ou de ses pratiques spécifiques (culture "hip-hop ", culture "footballistique ", culture "d'entreprise "...). Ce cours examinera 4 volets différents : Qui sont les individus producteurs de culture et comment la culture est-elle diffusée ? Quelles sont les pratiques culturelles aujourd'hui ? Quelle est la relation entre la sphère du politique et la sphère du culturel ? Comment la culture se diffuse-t-elle au plan international? Professor Popa. One course credit.
