COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Department of French language and literature will hold an annual summer school entitled « The Geneva Summer School of Criticism ». Its objective is simple: to make the University of Geneva the site of an annual encounter around questions of literary criticism, as they are confronted in French studies but not exclusively. The fields addressed will be: literature, aesthetics, art history, the philosophy of arts, and interpretation.
The summer school is being launched in the tradition of the Ecole de Genève, and will aim to renew its heritage.
The 2013 summer school will address the topic of: « New Trends in Eighteenth Century Criticism ».
Benefitting from the momentum of the Année Rousseau in Geneva, the 2013 summer school will focus on critical trends that are renewing 18th-century studies.
The course will be taught in French and in English.
