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.
