  10. French 4/5: French humourists: the classics and the new generation
    Weekend
    Course start date:  Sat 17 May 2025

    Location on this date:  Online

    Tutors:  Julie Ricci
    Lorsque l'on étudie une langue étrangère, l'humour est sans aucun doute l'élément le plus difficile à cerner ; et ironiquement, comprendre l'humour d'une culture différente de la sienne et son évolution permet de mieux en comprendre certaines complexités et certains combats. En effet, l'étude des divers humoristes qui ont marqué la France des 40 dernières années vous permettra de poser un nouveau regard sur l'évolution de la société française, connue pour ses provocations.
