Core Courses
-Language Contact and Interculturality:
-Literary Theories and Interdisciplinarity: This unit will introduce students to a full range of methods for approaching literary texts in order to demonstrate that different critical paths lead to meaning: sociocriticism, psychocriticism, ecocriticism, zoocriticism, mythocriticism, etc. The key is to compare these methods with literary texts in order to highlight the multiplicity of meaning and the breaking down of barriers within literary texts.
-Discourse Analysis: This unit aims to establish a number of theoretical concepts in the student, which will allow them to approach corpora from a specific perspective and introduce them to the analysis of literary discourse.
-French Literature: Students must be familiar with the key works of French literature that are the subject of their study, as well as the specific nature of this literature. -Francophone Literature:
-Art and Literature: Introduce students to the arts through literature and understand the relationship between the two creative fields (art and literature) through language.
-Scientific Writing and Writing Techniques (Writing Workshop): Consolidate and deepen prior learning in academic work methodology and research methodology, and provide an introduction to research, scientific writing, and research methodology.
-Text Teaching: Primarily intended for teaching, students must be able to develop and teach a course based on an operational pedagogical objective by the end of the program.
-English
-Comparative Literature: Understand cultural universes through texts and connect literary works by comparing themes, forms, styles, genres, narrative structures, characters, and symbolic functions in works from different cultural areas. Examine cultural transfers and influences by exploring major universal issues, etc.
- Myth and Literature: Introduce students to mythology and myths in order to establish knowledge that will benefit the analysis of literary texts across different beliefs and civilizations.
- Semiotics of Texts: Introduce students to the semiotic analysis of literary texts, with an understanding and application of the discipline's fundamental concepts to a literary corpus.
- Ethics and Professional Conduct: Teaching and research are based on respect for ethical values. This results in duties and obligations that students must understand, apply, and convey.
Advanced Topics
- This degree allows students to deepen and develop all their knowledge related to literature and its relationship to civilization. The main objective of this option is to train teacher-researchers capable of rigorously conducting scientific research upon completion of their studies.
- It also aims to foster and enhance student autonomy, as the program culminates in the writing of a dissertation in which the student-researcher will demonstrate their ability to develop research in the literary field through the application of their knowledge and the ability to define a research topic, master the documentation, conduct analytical reading, and present a summary in the form of a publicly defended dissertation. The student, and future teacher, will therefore have no difficulty conducting research projects with their students.
