Subject Description

A study of French culture and society from the fall of Napoleon to the Great War of 1914. How did struggles for social and political hegemony play themselves out through three revolutions? How did cultural representations affect these struggles? How did culture manifest bourgeois success in this struggle? How did marginalised groups such as workers, women and Jews reconstruct their identities? This subject can be followed by 131-245/345 The Crises of Modern France: Society and Culture 1919-1995 to provide an understanding of the subsequent development of contemporary France.
