FRE 338 - ASPECT FRENCH POP CULTURE

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

French

Description:

French culture has traditionally been understood as both "high" and "low." And, in the past, French culture has most often been communicated to the outside world in terms of the artistic symbols of "high culture." But what is now understood by the term "French culture" has changed. Although traditional bias towards high-culture remains, the recent celebrity of what has been called "low culture" (and its inclusion under the general heading of "French culture") has generated much confusion. The idea of French culture, as now understood abroad, provides a distorted image of complex cultural realities of contemporary France. This course is designed to disentangle these historical complexities.
