From effeminate kings, to slutty queens, to post-revolutionary dandies, to the manifest invisibility adopted by some French citizens today, debates on the gendering and styling of political bodies have always been central to power struggles in France. Students will read from sociology, history and literature in order to understand the complex interplay among fashion, gender and political identity. Taught in English, but French minor/major credit possible by completing written work in French and by attending a weekly discussion section conducted in French. Students interested in the 4-credit French option should enroll in section 2. All others should enroll in section 1.
