Content: We will study Medieval and Renaissance literature as a site of invention where the French language progressively asserts its authority, its literary dignity and its cultural originality by appropriating, translating and modifying other languages and cultures. We will also examine the constitution in and through literature of different identities such as the Christian definition of the self, the epic definition of the warrior, the emergence of female author, the constitution of a national community. Special attention will be paid to conflictual self-definitions: Christians versus Muslims and Jews, Catholics versus Protestants, male versus female, saints versus demons.
