This book looks at the role of cultural studies and intercultural
communication in language learning. The book argues that learners
who have an opportunity to stay in the target language country can
be trained to do an ethnographic project while abroad. Borrowing
from anthropologists' the idea of cultural fieldwork and 'writing
culture', language learners develop their linguistic and cultural
competence through the study of a local group. This book combines a
theoretical overview of language and cultural practices with a
description of ethnographic approaches and materials specifically
designed for language learners.
This volume responds to important questions about the formal
properties of literary texts and the agency of form. A central
feature of twentieth- and twenty-first century French and
Francophone writing has been the exploration of how cultural forms
(literary, philosophical and visual) create distinctive semiotic
environments and at the same time engage powerfully with external
realities. How does form propose a bridge between the environment
of the text and the world beyond? What kinds of formal innovations
have authors devised in response to the complexity of that world?
How do the formal properties of texts inflect our reading of them,
and perhaps also our apprehension of the real? In addressing such
questions as they apply to a wide corpus of texts, including the
novel, life writing, the essay, travel writing, poetry and
textual/visual experiments, the chapters in this volume offer new
perspectives on a wide range of creative figures including Proust,
Picasso, Breton, Bataille, Ponge, Guillevic, Certeau, Camus,
Barthes, Perec, Roubaud, Chauvet, Savitzkaya, Eribon, Ernaux,
Laurens and Akerman. Collectively, they renew the engagement with
form that has been a key feature of French cultural production and
of analysis in French studies.
