GBL2674s.h.WinterTerminFranceCourse description:With time spent in Paris, in thevibrantmedievalcityofMontpellier,France,justtenminutes from theMediterranean Sea, and in citiesand towns nearby, this course will explore bothhistorical and current notions of sacred space andperceptionsofreligiousexperienceinFrenchculturethroughthepalateofgastronomy,art,architecture,and popular music. In so doing, students willexamine France’s paradoxical relationship to itselfandstudythiscountry’sshiftsinnationalidentityvis-a-vis organized religion due to decolonization andimmigration during the last century.

FromParistoMontpellierBothParisandMontpellieraffordarichvarietyofancientand contemporary sites, Jewish, Christian, Buddhist,Muslim and prehistoric, where we can explore themeaningofthesacredasitissetforthingeographicalandarchitectural forms. And yet, not every location we visitmay strike you as religious in the traditional sense.Imagine, ifyouwill, leLouvreasatempleofvisualart, leStadedeFranceas thehighchurchofsoccer, theCordonBleuasthecathedralofhautecuisine.Paris breathes intellectual air, ethnic and religiousdiversity, artistic appreciation, and culinary excellence atevery corner: with its open-air markets, bistros, andboulangeries, its myriad of museums, historic landmarksand countless places of worship– all these spaces aredeemed sacred by different people, and thus Parisembodies an ideal location to learn about culturalcohabitationsinamulti-ethnicandmulti-faithsociety.The city ofMontpellier is located in south central France10 minutes from the Mediterranean. It was establishedaround 985CE as a village ofmerchants importing spicesfromtheLevant.WiththeimportscamethemedicalusesoftheirproductsfromtheknowledgeofArabicmedicine.By 1000CE,many Arab and Jewish trading partnerswereteaching merchants and students there. The school ofmedicinefoundedatthistimeistheoldest inEuropeandstill a prestigious medical school today. Montpellier is avibrant,animatedmedievalcitywithadiversepopulation.
WhyFrance?
IntheUS,Franceisbelovedbymany,despisedbysome, and all too often misunderstood. YetFrancehaslongbeenavaluablepartneroftheUS,politically and militarily, and its culture wieldsextensive influence over American arts, fashion,andfood.Studentsseeking tobecomeglobalcitizensstandto learn a great deal about their own culturalassumptionsfromfirst-handexperienceofFrenchpolitics,customs,andmores.Moreover, exposure to the history and currentstate of relations among the many and variedreligiouscommunitiesinFrancewillprovidearichsource of information and possible options forhow the United Statesmightmove forward intoanincreasinglymulti-culturalfuture.
