This course offers a detailed and critical study of different literary texts written in French from Quebec, Acadie, Ontario, and other French-speaking communities, including Indigenous perspectives. A variety of literary genres may be approached (novel, short-stories, poetry, essay, theatre, creative nonfiction, etc.). Students will deepen their knowledge of francophone cultures and literatures in Canada and will define their own critical voice through small discussion groups, reading theoretical and critical works, and writing different assignments.

Pretty easy course for it being 400 level. Mixed group of Undergrad, masters, and doctorate students which can be intimidating if you are at different levels. The main idea of the course can be hard to follow but its interesting and fun nonetheless. There was a 10-15 min presentation (20%), 2 assignments (20% each), a final paper (30%) as well as 10% participation grade for attending lectures and actually speaking. Élise is amazing, such a sweetheart.
