MASTER'S DEGREE IN FRANCOPHONE STUDIES

 

2008 - 2009

 

This master proposes a complex and specialized approach of the French-speaking world (overpassing the borders of the French territory) with its double dimension: linguistic and literary. The approach is mostly interdisciplinary, by situating the francophone phenomenon in the European and world cultural context. The linguistic axis proposes some syntheses on the main linguistic and grammatical contemporary trends as well as on the varieties of French in different French-speaking areas. The literary axis deals with francophone literature from Belgium, Quebec, Switzerland, Romania, Africa, as well as with the most recent trends in literary criticism methodology, theatre studies, and the pragmatics of fiction.
