FREN 2204 - French IIB: Culture

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2022

The aim of this course is to develop a deeper understanding and a critical appreciation of France's rich cultural heritage through the study of texts and other cultural artefacts. The course is also designed to develop linguistic skills, taking into account the problems associated with the apprenticeship of reading and analysis in French. Students completing this course will therefore benefit from enhanced reading skills, vocabulary acquisition and writing skills as well as speaking skills. See French Department handbook for information on the topic and more details.

    Assessment Detail
    Individual oral presentation
    Vous devrez faire une présentation de 10 minutes maximum sur votre adaptation cinématographique préférée : pensez, par exemple, aux aspects suivants : pourquoi est-ce que vous appréciez le film ; est-ce que le réalisateur a changé/transformé/inventé quelque chose dans la nouvelle version du texte, etc. Vous devez faire quelques recherches sur le texte original et présenter un exposé cohérent, accompagné d’un PowerPoint (6 diapos ou « slides » maximum).

    Pair-work oral presentation

    Avec un partenaire, vous devrez faire une présentation de 10 minutes maximum au cours de laquelle vous analyserez une scène dans un des textes suivants : Une partie de campagne, L’Hôte ou Le Silence de la mer, en comparant son traitement par le cinéma. Présentez d’abord la scène que vous allez analyser – mais très brièvement, car tout le monde aura déjà lu le texte et vu le film ! Vous passerez donc ensuite à votre analyse, qui devra porter sur la façon dont le cinéma représente l’action, les décors, le caractère des personnages, et ainsi de suite. Dans votre conclusion, vous expliquerez les similarités et les différences (de fond, de forme, etc.) entre la représentation textuelle et la représentation cinématographique de la scène, tout en réfléchissant sur les avantages et les

    Textual analysis (Analyse de texte)
    Vous devrez choisir une scène dans Une partie de campagne ou L’Hôte et analyser la façon dont cette scène est représentée au cinéma. Adoptez la même structure que pour l’exposé oral :
    • une brève présentation de la scène, en guise d’introduction
    • une analyse comparative de tous les aspects les plus importants (description/décor, caractérisation, thèmes, action, etc.)
    • une conclusion dans laquelle vous réfléchissez sur les similarités et les différences, et sur l’impact de ces différences sur notre perception de la scène
    NB Vous ne pouvez pas choisir pour cette analyse le même texte (et le même film) que pour l’exposé oral. Votre analyse de texte doit être écrite en français (800 mots)

    Comprehension tests (Tests de compréhension
    )
    Après avoir étudié le texte en classe (cours + séminaire), nous vous demanderons dans le séminaire suivant, avant de visionner le film, de lire un extrait du texte et de répondre à quelques questions de compréhension. C’est une façon pour nous, et pour vous, de vérifier que vous avez lu et compris le texte. Nous ferons des exercices similaires dans les séminaires afin de vous préparer pour le type de questions auxquelles vous aurez à répondre.

    Essay (Dissertation)
    Dissertation de 1200 mots, en français.
    Choisissez un des sujets suivants :

    Le Silence de la mer
    NB : si vous avez fait un exposé oral sur Le Silence de la mer, il faut choisir La Douleur pour la dissertation.
    1. Comparez la façon dont l’espace est traité dans le texte de Vercors et dans les films de Melville et/ou de Boutron.
    2. Choisissez un des protagonistes (l’oncle, la nièce ou l’officier) et analysez la façon dont son caractère est développé dans le texte et dans les deux versions cinématographiques de l’histoire.

    La Douleur
    3. Comparez la façon dont le rapport entre Marguerite (la narratrice) et Rabier est représenté dans le texte et le film.
    4. Comparez la façon dont Duras (dans le texte) et Finkiel (dans le film) créent une atmosphère de danger et de peur.

    Conseils
    Si vous comparez deux choses – ici, un texte et un film – ne les traitez pas séparément (c’est-à-dire, n’organisez pas votre dissertation en deux parties dans lesquelles vous analysez d’une part le texte et d’autre part le film) ; il faut organiser vos paragraphes selon des idées et faire des comparaisons entre le texte et le film dans chaque paragraphe
    • donnez à votre analyse une structure claire, avec une introduction et une conclusion
    • il faut citer correctement les ouvrages que vous avez consultés et inclure une bibliographie
    • révisez votre copie (l’orthographe, les accords et les 最新糖心Vlog grammaticales de base) avant de la rendre
    Submission
    Students must submit assignments to the Faculty of Arts Office.

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
