  8. French 4/5: French humourists: the classics and the new generation
    Weekend
    Course start date:  Sat 28 Jun 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.

  14. Landmark Poetry: places and spaces
    Weekend
    Course start date:  Sat 28 Jun 2025

    Location on this date:  Keeley Street

    Tutors:  Deirdre Osbourne
    What is the role of poetry ‘off the page’ in public spaces? Can a poem change the way we might re-encounter cultural history? Do statues serve as ‘informants’ from the past? We read poetry by Jackie Kay, Lemn Sissay and Dorothea Smartt commissioned for bridges, pavements, monuments, even super sewer ventilation shafts to identify the challenges, revisions and celebrations that emerge from exploring the place of poetry in public spaces.
