En ANGLAIS: This course deals with the main themes in British political, socio-economic and cultural history during the period from 1830 to 1945. The lecture (CM) and seminars (Spécialité appliquée) are designed to work closely together; the former providing the general framework of historical change during this period of a century or so, the latter allowing particular aspects to be examined in detail through a study of a wide range of texts and other documents available on the Moodle page for the class. Among the subjects to be studied are: the economic and social consequences of the Industrial Revolution; the status and role of women; the changing political and electoral system; the rise of Empire; Britain and Europe; Irish history from Famine to independence; and the impact in Britain of the two world wars.

TD

En ANGLAIS: Le Gothique et le néo-gothique en littérature. Lecture approfondie et analyse de textes courts (nouvelles, poèmes, voire extraits deromans ou textes théoriques) en lien avec le gothique et le néo-gothique.

CM

En ANGLAIS: This course is about a rather dark vein in several British literary and artistic traditions which is still quite vibrant in toda'ys mass culture. Although students should know and expand their knowledge about historical phenomena linked to their emergence on both sides of the Atlantic (and maybe even elsewhere!) in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, one of its specificities paradoxically consists in its lack of topicality, or if we believe radical critics on the subject, its timelessness. Gothicism is maybe more of a mode of sensibility, as romanticism and surrealism are, rather than a historical trend or a homogeneous literary movement as such. Are you Gothick? What is certain is that Gott ist tot and has been so for quite a while.

TD

En ANGLAIS: Ce cours est la séance de travaux dirigés qui suit la progression du CM correspondant (voir plus haut, UE.4.2A).

TD

En ANGLAIS: This class aims to familiarise students with some of the techniques and skills necessaryfor studying texts and other documents encountered when conducting research in Civilisation, notably in the fields of history and politics.
