Week 4

Hybridity, monstrosity, humanity: Marie de France & Renard the Fox

 

Prologue

Bruegel, Fall of the Rebel Angels (1562);
Musées royaux des beaux-arts de Belgique, Brussels

Work in progress during the imaginatio stage of designing and making this course is on Twitter at #mdvl310c and #mdvl310d. The course grew out of the elements that follow below, which appeared in two courses I taught in 2016, MDVL301A “THE LIBERAL ARTS” & FREN336 “ LA BANDE DESSINÉE” (all images, as elsewhere on this site, are hyperlinked).

For some idea about what this course may be like, information about previous O’Brien Medieval courses at UBC may be helpful:

  • MDVL301A: Medieval Studies: European Literature from the 5th to the 14th Century
    “THE LIBERAL ARTS” (2016)
  • MDVL302: European Literature of the 14th to the 16th centuries
    “CRITICISM” (2012)
  • RMST 221: Romance Studies: Literatures and Cultures of the Romance World I: Medieval to Early Modern
    INTRIGUE” (2012)
    MISCHIEF” (2010)
    ADVENTURES” (2009)
