Main themes
- By analysing some of the major works of the period, the course introduces students to the major trends and tendencies in French-language literature of the 20th and 21st centuries.
- The course is organised chronologically, providing historical reference points (continuities, filiations, mutations, ruptures) and relating literature to artistic, cultural, political, social and economic contexts.
- How writers of the period were mobilised by the reflection on the making of the text: the course identifies the causes and issues of this reflexivity; and above all, it shows, through analyses of the works, how to approach this formal dimension. In so doing, the course prepares students for subsequent in-depth courses.
