An examination of French literary depictions of ways in which speed and human locomotion influence the experience of place and time. What happens when life speeds up so much that the world goes by faster than we are able to process it? Would slowing down allow for a different type of spatio-temporal experience? Authors include Victor Hugo, George Sand, Émile Zola, Ernest Hemingway, and André Gide among others. Students wishing to take the class for French major or minor credit should enroll in section 2.
