This seminar is an introduction to interdisciplinary research in cultural studies, drawing on history and art history, literary studies, Black studies, Jewish studies, and gender and sexuality studies. Taking 19th-century France as our focus, we will survey recent scholarly work examining popular artifacts or events for all that they reveal about issues of gender and race against the backdrop of the emergence of modernity, in a period marked by political upheaval and colonial imperialism. Case studies will include places (the department store, the omnibus, the restaurant), objects (newspapers, clothes, cosmetics) and phenomena (celebrity culture, the music-hall, the World Expositions). Taught in English; advanced reading knowledge of French is required.
