FREN 357 - French Surrealism

Prerequisite, FREN 201. In this course we will examine the emergence of Surrealism within French culture in the early part of the 20th century. We will seek to understand the ways in which this avant-garde movement found expression in literature, art, and film, and how it continues to influence the arts even today. Because so much of Surrealism was based on direct experience, this course will also include a creative aspect. (Offered as needed.) 3 credits
