Course Description

This course will explore a variety of questions centered on the place occupied by female figures
(fictional and/or factual) in French literature. The course will aim at highlighting the significance
and influence of these figures by examining the socio-historical context that shaped them and
their subsequent evolution, representation or adaptation in other genres or media (theater, film,
visual arts, etc.) and in other times. This will allow students to gain a deeper understanding of
why and how some female characters (or authors) have endured and how their stories have
been received and reinterpreted by different artistic genres through time.

Ce cours permettra de sensibiliser les étudiantes et étudiants à différentes questions littéraires
centrées sur l’étude de la place de figures féminines (fictionnelles et référentielles) dans la
littérature d’expression française. Nous chercherons à retracer l’importance et l’influence de ces
figures en examinant le contexte socio-historique les ayant façonnées et leur évolution,
représentation ou adaptation dans d’autres genres ou médias (théâtre, film, arts visuels, etc) à
des époques variées.

Prerequisites

It is the student’s responsibility to ensure they have the correct prerequisites for a course. If you
are unsure, discuss it with your instructor.
Prerequisite(s): FREN 220 or FREN230.

Land Acknowledgement
As we engage in Remote Teaching and Learning, I would like to acknowledge that the
Saskatoon campus of the University of Saskatchewan is on Treaty Six Territory and
the Homeland of the Métis. We pay our respect to the First Nation and Métis ancestors of this
place and reaffirm our relationship with one another. I would also like to recognize that some
may be attending this course from other traditional Indigenous lands. I ask that you take a
FREN 398/898

moment to make your own Land Acknowledgement to the peoples of those lands. In doing so,
we are actively participating in reconciliation as we navigate our time in this course, learning and
supporting each other.

Remote Learning Context
This semester is happening under unusual and sometimes challenging circumstances. Remote
learning and teaching is new to many of us, yet we as instructors remain committed to making
this course an enriching, positive and respectful learning experience for everyone. As we move
to a virtual classroom in which we hope you will feel at ease to discuss and interact, remember
to treat each other with respect, empathy, and care.

Conseils:

   -   Lorsque vous regardez les vidéos, prenez des notes comme si vous étiez en classe. Je
       ne suis pas une professionnelle en montage vidéo, alors n’hésitez pas à
       ralentir/accélérer la vidéo ou à faire une pause, si besoin. Notez les questions qui vous
       viennent à l’esprit pour pouvoir en discuter lors des sessions Webex.

   -   Lorsque vous lisez les textes, n’oubliez pas de souligner les mots qui vous semblent
       difficiles ou les expressions qui ne sont pas claires. Recherchez la définition et, si vous
       avez toujours des doutes, n’hésitez pas à m’écrire ou à soulever la question lors des
       sessions Webex. Notez également les choses qui vous plaisent, qui vous surprennent,
       qui vous parlent… Tout ceci peut être important lorsque vous préparez vos travaux
       écrits pour étoffer une question ou un thème.

Learning Outcomes

By the completion of this course, students will be expected to:

   -   Be able to use different literary concepts to guide their interpretation and help shed light
       on the place of women in the French literary world.
   -   Be able to use key concepts from comparative studies in order to follow how a mythical
       character evolves and is adapted through time.
   -   Have gained in-depth knowledge of literary works representing the topic (Sophocles’
       Antigone, Jean Anouilh’s Antigone, and George Sand’s Pauline) and of their context and
       influence.

Course Overview

The course has been divided into 12 modules on Canvas. These modules follow the general
content of the class schedule as outlined in this syllabus.
Modules will contain videos explaining the material, any reading material required for the week,
links to the appropriate discussion boards and any extra material students are expected to go
over or use.

Students are responsible to go over the material in the module within a given timeframe.

Students are expected to participate in occasional live WebEx sessions of about an hour on
Wednesdays during the timeslot normally allocated to the course (4:00pm-5:20pm). During this
time, students will be able to connect, share ideas, and discuss the material with the instructor
and their peers. An alternate time may be found if it better accommodates students’ schedules.
If you can’t attend the live sessions, please reach out to me so we can quickly go over
discussion points explored during the live sessions.

Final Examination Scheduling
Midterm and final examinations must be written on the date scheduled.
Final examinations may be scheduled at any time during the examination period (April 14th to
30th); students should therefore avoid making prior travel, employment, or other commitments
for this period. If a student is unable to write an exam through no fault of his or her own for
medical or other valid reasons, documentation must be provided and an opportunity to write the
missed exam may be given. Students are encouraged to review all examination policies and
procedures at http://students.usask.ca/academics/exams.php.

Length and Mode of Final Assessment

The final exam will be “take home” and open book. You will be given a 48-hour period to
complete and submit it on the date set by the University. I recommend taking about 3 hours to
complete it.
The exam will be a mix of short answers, and developed (essay-type) questions.

instructor directly.

Integrity in a Remote Learning Context
Although the face of teaching and learning has changed due to covid-19, the rules and
principles governing academic integrity remain the same. If you ever have questions about what
may or may not be permitted, ask your instructor. Students have found it especially important to
clarify rules related to exams administered remotely and to follow these carefully and
completely.

St. Thomas More College follows the rules regarding Academic Dishonesty as delineated in the
University of Saskatchewan Calendar. Of these, plagiarism is a particularly serious offence that
                                                                                         Page 8 of 11
FREN 398/898

involves presenting another person’s writing, ideas or creative work as your own. When quoting,
paraphrasing, describing, presenting, summarizing or translating the work of others, you must
acknowledge the source of the information you use, which includes ensuring that the reader can
differentiate between your words and the words of others. Sources may come in print,
electronic, digital, visual or oral form, and may be provided by a published author, fellow
student, artist, or Internet site. Purchasing papers is not permitted. It is your responsibility to
understand what constitutes plagiarism; when in doubt, consult your professor.

The University of Saskatchewan is committed to the highest standards of academic integrity and
honesty. Students are expected to be familiar with these standards regarding academic
honesty and to uphold the policies of the University in this respect. Students are particularly
urged to familiarize themselves with the provisions of the Student Conduct & Appeals section of
the University Secretary Website and avoid any behavior that could potentially result in
suspicions of cheating, plagiarism, misrepresentation of facts and/or participation in an
offence. Academic dishonesty is a serious offence and can result in suspension or expulsion
from the University.

All students should read and be familiar with the Regulations on Academic Student Misconduct
(https://secretariat.usask.ca/student-conduct-appeals/academic-misconduct.php) as well as the
Standard of Student Conduct in Non-Academic Matters and Procedures for Resolution of
Complaints and Appeals (https://secretariat.usask.ca/student-conduct-appeals/academic-
misconduct.php#IXXIIAPPEALS)

For more information on what academic integrity means for students see the Academic Integrity
section of the University Library Website at: https://library.usask.ca/academic-
integrity#AboutAcademicIntegrity

You are encouraged to complete the Academic Integrity Tutorial to understand the fundamental
values of academic integrity and how to be a responsible scholar and member of the USask
community - https://library.usask.ca/academic-integrity.php#AcademicIntegrityTutorial
