Based on novels and short stories, in this course we will explore the theme of otherness, its variants, and its specificities in French and Francophone science fiction and fantasy literature of the 20th and 21st centuries. Whether it is the literary treatment of science or of magic that is often at the frontiers of the human in its relationship to the other, this literature in French often conceptualizes an original vision of the future or the past, whose cultural stakes we will try to understand.

Course taught in English. A weekly workshop/class for all M.A. and M.A.T students teaching French and Italian language classes for the first time. The course will introduce current methods and ideas of language teaching and testing and will focus on the courses they are actually teaching.
