This module will provide students with an overview of cities in which French is spoken, and allow them to gain an understanding of Francophone culture as a significant global phenomenon. Whilst offering an introduction to key contextual details (for instance Urban Studies and Globalised City Studies) essential to an understanding of the functioning of cities and cityscapes, the module has a core syllabus focussed on a range of Francophone cities from a cultural, topographical, and/or linguistic perspective. Students will understand these spaces both individually and in their comparative and transhistorical context.
