Paris: Biography of a City

image1.jpg

Humanities 375.01 Summer 2016

R1 session

Course description:

“America is my country and Paris is my hometown” (Gertrude Stein, American author), “Paris is always a good idea” (Audrey Hepburn, British actress), “Secrets travel fast in Paris” (Napoleon Bonaparte, French political leader): whether or not you have heard about these famous quotes, you all know something about Paris, the capital of France. This course intends to deepen your knowledge about this city. We will explore the City of Lights using a multidisciplinary approach (paintings, movies, literature, architecture, fashion, gastronomy, politics, etc.). We will travel through the centuries from the Middle Ages till nowadays to discover how Paris was created and developed, though the class will have an emphasis on 19th and 20th-21st centuries. In particular, while navigating through time, we will investigate a few themes such as Paris center of the arts and culture, Paris center of politics and decision making, Paris and its physical transformations.

1- Students will deepen their knowledge of the city of Paris through a multidisciplinary approach.

2- Students will demonstrate ability to read literary texts while analyzing and exploring social, political, cultural and artistic debates and trends in relation to the building and transformation of the city of Paris.

3- Students will demonstrate knowledge of cultural periods, historical context, artistic movements and genres, and authors/leaders.

4- Students will demonstrate capacity to write a critical and analytical essay incorporating academic style and techniques.

ONLINE CLASSROOM PROTOCOL and ADVICE:

To double-check that you are ready for an online course, you can take the survey: http://teachonline.csustan.edu/selfassessment.php

You MUST have access to internet to be able to complete this course. The recorded lectures, assignments, and documents will be posted on ilearn ( https://ilearn.sfsu.edu/ ). Your assignments to be graded will be returned to you via ilearn as well.

An online class requires the same amount of work as a regular class. In fact, since there is no possibility of coming to class unprepared and “faking it,” or of picking up some of the material through classroom lecture, most students find that it requires more work. Since there is no class time for this class, all this time will be in independent work and in-person or online contact with other students and/or the professor. As a reminder this is a FAST PACE course, as 15 weeks of instruction will be taught in 5 weeks! So there is 3 times as much work per week compared to a semester long course. It is the responsibility of the student to plan for consistent and regular study times. We have found that students succeed best if they allot regular times for this class in their schedule. Just as you would come to a regular class at certain hours each week, set aside blocks of time to work only on this class during the week, and stick to those times. Since your grade depends entirely on your work, and no portion of it is just for showing up as might be the case in a regular classroom, your grade will suffer greatly if you are “unprepared” for one or more sessions of work. Ilearn has been set to not accept any late submission.

Students in HUM 375 are expected to be active participants in the learning process. Students and professor are expected to demonstrate mutual respect in all communications, including e-mail and webconference/phone exchanges.

Although this is an online class, you are not “on your own”! Email me, and schedule a chat/telephone appointment. I am here to help you.

Course Stream lectures to listen/ Quizzes: Course Stream; 25%

There will be 3 course Stream lectures to listen per week (except the first week only 2)—so a total of 14 lectures. Each lecture will be between 15 minutes to 45 mins, depending on the topic being discussed. I have indicated the length of each lectures in parenthesis to help you plan your work. Each Course Stream lectures will have a QUIZ, to check that you have listened to the recorded session and have retained the main points. Quizzes will have diverse formats: multiple choice, fill in the blank, matching, short answer responses, etc. You are allowed to have your notes, yet those quizzes will be timed (and you are allowed only 1 attempt)—so it is best to retain the generals facts/big picture before taking a quiz. The outline for each course stream will help you with the main key words/aspects. On the power points you will see images with asterix (*) those can be used for quizzes (image recognition). Quizzes will not ask you to remember specific dates/numbers; but rather assess an overall concept and understanding of the key points of the lectures.

Quizzes: readings/videos and Forum entries/participation: 25%

There will be reading assignments for each session and /or website to browse, video to watch. There will be quizzed based on those readings/videos. Quizzes will have diverse format: multiple choice, fill in the blank, matching, short answer responses, etc. You are allowed to have your notes from your reading/browsing, yet those quizzes will be timed (and you are allowed only 1 attempt)—so use your time wisely. The quizzes will ask for the main topics/ideas discussed in the readings/videos. Quizzes will not ask you to remember specific dates/numbers.

There will be several reactions to post via the Forum feature.

Research project “Tour of Paris”: 20%

· A Tour of Paris (due Wednesday, June 22nd by 11:30pm)

This assignment asks you to research one of the monuments or neighborhoods -- each student will be randomly given a different monument/neighborhood (see list on ilearn “Tour of Paris: instructions and YOUR assigned place/monument”). You are required to do the following:

a- Find 3-5 images of the place in question.

b- Write appropriate captions of 2-3 sentences explaining each image.

c- Using your own words , write a short essay of approx. 350-400 words (MAXIMUM!) explaining the history and significance of the assigned place, including changes over time. Essay should be informative

and lacking spelling, grammatical, or stylistic errors. Be creative and choose very pertinent information! I am not interested about Wikipedia like entry—be creative, highlight the non-touristic/less known aspects of the place/monument; present it in an original/innovative way.

d- Provide a bibliography of print sources, websites, and (if applicable) novels, memoirs, and films about the assigned place. Use at least one short quote in your paper.

e- Make sure that your paper clearly indicates which neighborhood/monument you have researched.

f- Send me your work [paper, images, bibliography] by Wednesday, June 22nd by 11:30pm in a WORD document (PDF or other format will not be accepted), via ilearn, link “Tour of Paris: Research project” [located in Section 7 of your ilearn page]

g- In addition , via ilearn Forum “Tour of Paris-- paper summaries” [located in Section 7 of your ilearn page], post a summary of your paper (70-90 words-- MAXIMUM), and ONE image.

h- Your grade will be based on both: paper/images with the captions/bibliography AND the summary/choice of one image.

Film paper 30%

· Film paper (due Friday, July 8th by 11:30pm) :

a- Watch ONE of the films from the list below and write a 2 page paper that evaluates how

the filmmaker represents the city of Paris (email me first if you choose a different film from the list). You do not need to evaluate the film as a whole nor give a detailed plot summary (a short paragraph is fine if you feel it is necessary). This assignment is NOT about summarizing the plot, but an ANALYSIS of how Paris is used in the film. Some questions you should consider are:

· In what period of Paris history is the film set?

· What specific places (monuments, neighborhoods, private homes, etc.) in Paris are shown in the film?

· How does the choice of locations influence the portrayal of the city?

· What attitude characterizes the vision of Paris? (e.g. nostalgia, cynicism, realism, etc.?)

· What visual or directorial techniques are used to portray Paris in a particular way?

· Do the characters in the film represent real or idealized Parisians?

· Etc.

b- You do not need to do background research for this assignment, but if you use outside

sources (print or internet), you must cite them appropriately in the text (informal notes

are fine) and include a bibliography.

c- Papers should be double-spaced in 12-point font, Times New Roman, with normal margins, include page numbers. Make sure that your paper clearly indicates which film you are writing on, and also clearly indicate your name!

d- Send me your work in a WORD document (PDF or other format will not be accepted), via ilearn, link “Film Paper”

e- Film suggestions: (Plot summaries available at http://www.imdb.com/ or via Youtube, most films are available via Netflix):

Honor Code:

ALL work for this class must be done independently unless I specify otherwise. You must inform me if you are getting help from a tutor. In addition, you must quote your sources (including electronic sources). “Plagiarism occurs when a student misrepresents the work of another as his or her own.
