Overview
The unit takes as its starting point French films of comedy and drama from the late 20th century and early 21st. These films open up a discussion of the way French culture defines individuality and its relationship to social coexistence. Written texts (literary, philosophical, critical) are used to explore the historical roots of contemporary French culture in the court society of monarchy, notably in the 17th century as it established the cultural parameters within which French individualism developed and later shaped the creation of a Republican national culture.
