French/Transcultural Studies. Literature and Language Contact within the Francophone Area

Course Overview

This Master's program focuses on the French language, literature, and culture in the francophone world, particularly examining transcultural contact phenomena within these contexts. Students study literary, linguistic, and cultural expressions across francophone territories, from France, to francophone Africa, to Québec, with a strong emphasis on the analysis of language and literary traditions shaped by transcultural interactions. The program combines language proficiency development (French and one additional Romance language) with the analytical and methodological study of philological and cultural phenomena.
