FRNC3200: Women's Life Writing in French
2027 unit information
This unit explores articulations of self and lived experience by francophone women writers since the 1990s. Focussing on a variety of forms including the 'bande dessinee', the photo-text and the memoir, we will investigate how women draw on these creative practices to negotiate the relation between self and other, the individual and the historical, the personal and the political. Class discussions will address issues such as body politics, the intersection of class and gender and the ethics of self-exposure.
