Class Description Fall 2007 - Section R57
Title: Perspectives on Paris
How is Paris different from most American cities, and how is it similar to
cities you know? Sometimes called the City of Light, Paris continues to be an
important center of intellectual, cultural, and economic activity. Historically
it has been the scene of revolutions, artistic and literary movements, and
years of Nazi occupation followed by joyous liberation of its freedom-loving
people. Authors from many countries have described Parisians, their culture
and their city in both fiction and nonfiction. We will read, discuss, and
compare the works of some of these writers - from Victor Hugo to Colette to
Hemingway - and we will examine films that complement and contradict these
written descriptions.
