  • Syllabus Paris
    Institut de Langue et de Culture Française Spring Semester 2017 Paris, World Arts Capital PE Perrier de La Bâthie / [email protected] Paris, World Capital of Arts and Architecture From the 17th through the 20th centuries Since the reign of Louis XIV until the mid-20th century, Paris had held the role of World Capital of Arts. For three centuries, the City of Light was the place of the most audacious and innovative artistic advances, focusing on itself the attention of the whole world. This survey course offers students a wide panorama on the evolution of arts and architecture in France and more particularly in Paris, from the beginning of the 17th century to nowadays. The streets of the French capital still preserve the tracks of its glorious history through its buildings, its town planning and its great collections of painting, sculpture and decorative arts. As an incubator of modernity, Paris saw the rising of a new epoch governed – for better or worse – by faith in progress and reason. As literature and science, art participated in the transformations of society, being surely its more accurate reflection. Since the French Revolution, art have accompanied political and social changes, opened to the contestation of academic practice, and led to an artistic and architectural avant-garde driven to depict contemporary experience and to develop new representational means. Creators, by their plastic experiments and their creativity, give the definitive boost to a modern aesthetics and new references. After the trauma of both World War and the American economic and cultural new hegemony, appeared a new artistic order, where artists confronted with mass-consumer society, challenging an insane post-war modernity.

  • SENTIMENTAL EDUCATION by GUSTAVE FLAUBERT (Volume II)
    SENTIMENTAL EDUCATION BY GUSTAVE FLAUBERT (Volume II) CHAPTER XI. A Dinner and a Duel. Frederick passed the whole of the next day in brooding over his anger and humiliation. He reproached himself for not having given a slap in the face to Cisy. As for the Maréchale, he swore not to see her again. Others as good-looking could be easily found; and, as money would be required in order to possess these women, he would speculate on the Bourse with the purchase-money of his farm. He would get rich; he would crush the Maréchale and everyone else with his luxury. When the evening had come, he was surprised at not having thought of Madame Arnoux. "So much the better. What's the good of it?" Two days after, at eight o'clock, Pellerin came to pay him a visit. He began by expressing his admiration of the furniture and talking in a wheedling tone. Then, abruptly: "You were at the races on Sunday?" "Yes, alas!" Thereupon the painter decried the anatomy of English horses, and praised the horses of Gericourt and the horses of the Parthenon. "Rosanette was with you?" And he artfully proceeded to speak in flattering terms about her. Frederick's freezing manner put him a little out of countenance. He did not know how to bring about the question of her portrait. His first idea had been to do a portrait in the style of Titian. But gradually the varied colouring of his model had bewitched him; he had gone on boldly with the work, heaping up paste on paste and light on light.

  • There's Only One Paris Final
    Le Métro 1st & 2nd Arrondissement “Nooooo!” Sasha ran and launched himself into the Métro car just as the buzzer sounded. He was immediately tugged backwards. The corner of his shoulder bag was caught in the closing doors. He freed it with a hefty yank, allowing the doors to shut properly. The train set off. “No! I mean yes! I wasn’t saying no to you,” Sasha shouted into his phone as he regained his footing. “Yes, I’ve got it…” There were two empty folding seats next to him. He lowered the closest and plunked himself down. “I’m on my way now. I should be there shortly,” He then removed a handkerchief from the zippered pocket of his satchel and dabbed his brow. He’d worked up a sweat on his race to catch the train. Well, considering recent events, it didn’t take much for Sasha and his level of anxiety to surge. “Il n'y a qu'un seul Paris… Paris… Paris…” Oh no! Sasha grumbled to himself. No wonder that section of the Métro car was empty. He’d been in such a hurry to catch the train, he hadn’t paid any attention to the state of where he was landing. “Paris… Paris!” Most Paris Métro cars were divided into sections of stationary seats and open areas for standing. The latter also had flip down seats which passengers could use when the car wasn’t too full. Just a few feet away from Sasha, in the other half of his current section, was a musician.
