  9. 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.

  10. The British Horror film beyond Hammer
    Weekend
    Course start date:  Sat 17 May 2025

    Location on this date:  Online

    Tutors:  Jon Wisbey
    Night of the Demon (1957), The Wicker Man (1973) and Frightmare (1974) form part of a less familiar, though equally striking, horror tradition than that of Hammer, and often in very different terms. Explore chillers from the 1930s and 40s, the proliferation of horror in 1950s, 60s and 70s along with more recent examples, while assessing a range of critical accounts of British horror beyond Hammer.
