Culture textuelle et iconographique du Moyen Âge : Arthur et sa Table Ronde
Ce semestre, nous allons suivre le roi Arthur et ses chevaliers dans leurs quêtes aventureuses. Nous explorerons avec eux un monde de contes de fées et de merveilles aux multiples facettes.
Nous lirons ensemble des extraits de romans du Moyen Âge que nous mettrons en rapport avec des extraits de productions modernes et
contemporaines, comme le dessin animé de Walt Disney, The Sword in the Stone (1963), la série Kaamelott (2004-2009)
par Alexandre Astier, les films Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975), Excalibur (1981) par John
Boorman, et enfin The Green Knight (2021) par David Lowery.
Textual and Iconographic Culture of the Middle Ages: Arthur and the Round Table
This semester, we will follow King Arthur and his knights on their adventurous quests. Together, we will explore a multifaceted world of fairy tales and marvels.
We will read excerpts from medieval romances and connect them with excerpts from modern and contemporary works, such as Walt Disney’s animated film The Sword in the Stone (1963), the TV series Kaamelott (2004–2009) by Alexandre Astier, the films Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975), Excalibur (1981) by John Boorman, and finally The Green Knight (2021) by David Lowery.
In just five weeks, strengthen your French for real-world professional situations in hospitality, tourism, and customer service. Through interactive role-plays, authentic listening activities, and practical writing tasks, you’ll learn how to welcome guests, recommend services, handle reservations, and resolve complaints with confidence. The course also includes a mock Diplôme de Français Professionnel (DFP) exam to prepare you for success in professional communication.
