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.

Un pacte d’amour existentialiste :
« L’union libre » de Simone de Beauvoir et Jean-Paul Sartre autour des événements historiques qui les touchent, 1929-1986

Description du cours : À travers leur correspondance publiée, leurs œuvres autobiographiques, certains chapitres dans Tête-à-tête: un pacte d’amour (Grasset, Paris, 2006), des articles de presse et des entretiens audio et vidéo, nous allons explorer comment la relation de ce couple français, intellectuel et célèbre, a pu durer si longtemps.  Le cours va aussi examiner ce couple en vue des événements marquants de leur temps – historiques, culturels et sociaux.

Objectifs du cours:  À la fin de ce cours, les participant (e)s devraient bien connaître les événements marquants historiques en France (1914-1986) autour du couple Sartre-Beauvoir, les personnages principaux impliqués dans la relation, des termes existentialistes de base, tels que « l’union libre » selon Beauvoir et Sartre, les biographies de Sartre et Beauvoir et leurs engagements politiques, sociaux et culturels tout au long du partenariat. À partir de ces connaissances, ils devraient pouvoir formuler des arguments intellectuels, théoriques et scolaires pertinents.

En principe, des questions de réflexion et les lectures obligatoires seront fournies à l’avance de chaque séance.

N.B:  Chaque participant(e) effectuera des recherches et présentera en classe un exposé (8 à 10 minutes) sur un sujet autour des thèmes traités dans le cours, à discuter.
