On completion of this module, students should be able to: - analyze and engage in critical discussion of the nature and status of the object in postwar French culture - analyze and discuss the set texts in relation to their medium of expression and in relation to the problematic of the object - relate the set texts to a broader historical and intellectual context. Please note that this is a level-four/Masters/MA/postgraduate module designed for students who have already completed a prior undergraduate programme (typically BA).
The key questions raised by these works concern the relations between people, objects and words or images: are objects simply made and used by human beings or do they have an agency and a will of their own? How can people and objects and the relationships between them be represented through words and images? Are words and images objects in their own right? Primary materials are studied in the original and a reading knowledge of French is essential. The primary materials for study are: Francis Ponge, 'Le Parti pris des choses' Alain Robbe-Grillet, ‘Les Gommes’ Roland Barthes, 'Mythologies' Jean Baudrillard, 'Le Système des objets' Georges Perec, 'Les Choses' Simone de Beauvoir, ‘Les Belles Images’. The nature and status of material things has been a central preoccupation of modern French culture and this module explores the way in which the world of objects has been described and analyzed by a number of French writers and theorists in the second half of the twentieth century.
