* Poetic Genres and forms: J. Misrahi-Barak
The course will deal with the poetic genre, or rather poetuc genres and forms since diversity and multiplicity will be at the heart
of our approach. References will be made to 19th century poetry. However, the course will take its examples mostly from 20th
century American and British poetry, as well as from the Commonwealtj. If poetry is a literary form and a technique of
expression, it is primarily, defined by the interrelations it contains, based on the connections between rhythm and silence,
between the individual voice and that of the community.
Students will have to buy a course pack at the university « Imprimerie » before the 1st class. Students will also have to bring the

LIT 6L Shakespeare : Staging the mythology of Love
This class will be a reflexion along two major lines:
· First, we will analyse the composition of the two selected plays. We will then pay special attention to the representation of love
both as a literary concept and as a stage issue. The aesthetics of rewriting in Renaissance culture is made up of borrowings from
Antiquity and classical literature: we will question the adaptation of the classical tradition through the specific theme of love in
the chosen plays. We will study the Shakespearean plays in their literary and artistic contexts (love poetry, Petrarchism,
mannerist Eros…)
· Second, using filmed theatre, film versions, photos, play reviews, we will question how some selected passages of our corpus
are currently staged by professionals and the relationships that we may find from the page to the stage.
