The contributors to Transnational French Studies situate this
disciplinary subfield of Modern Languages in actively transnational
frameworks. The key objective of the volume is to define the core
set of skills and methodologies that constitute the study of French
culture as a transnational, transcultural and translingual
phenomenon. Written by leading scholars within the field, chapters
demonstrate the type of inquiry that can be pursued into the
transnational realities – both material and non-material – that
are integral to what is referred to as French culture. The book
considers the transnational dimensions of being human in the world
by focussing on four key practices which constitute the object of
study for students of French: language and multilingualism; the
construction of transcultural places and the corresponding sense of
space; the experience of time; and transnational subjectivities.
The underlying premise of the volume is that the transnational is
present (and has long been present) throughout what we define as
French history and culture. Chapters address instances and
phenomena associated with the transnational, from prehistory to the
present, opening up the geopolitical map of French studies beyond
France and including sites where communities identified as French
have formed.
