| Description: | IMMERSION COURSE - PARIS HIS 330-01: French History and Historical Memory How the history is created in France and how historical memory functions in present-day Paris is the theoretical focus of this course. It's clear that individuals chose to write about some things rather than others and governments keep only a portion of the documents produced. But when individuals select or conserve particular documents, they make a statement about how they see themselves, their country, and their present. In this course on French history, students will explore issues relevant to the field of historical memory. Course reading topics will include the creation of the city of Paris, the Louvre, café culture, and France's military history. To augment course readings, students will travel to Paris to examine historical "sites" of memory. These include: WW II and Holocaust memorials in Paris; the Château of Versailles; the Louvre museum; the Musée D'Orsay, Napoleon's Tomb; Notre Dame de Paris, and still others. Paris remains the #1 tourist destination in the world. However, this is not a tourist excursion. The workload requires extensive reading and classroom participation, several short papers, and a brief research paper. On site, students will participate in daily class meetings and events. Participants may be asked to blog about their experiences while abroad. Upon their return to the United States, students will present final observations during a poster session open to the public. Some history background is preferred but not required. Pre-approval to register for the course is required. Prerequisite: None Credits: 1 Instructor: Michele Rhoades |
