Content
This course familiarizes students with the concepts and methods of literary analysis through the in-depth analysis of a selection of novels. Using as its main thread the notion of narrative voice, it focuses on the various aspects of narration, focalisation and the modes of representation of a character's consciousness through the analysis of 鈥渢raditional鈥� and experimental novels.
This course includes 8 hours of workshops. These sessions are meant to help students become more familiar with the texts thanks to activities in which the extracts discussed in class are approached from a different angle. The workshops also include writing tasks and/or short presentations.

Teaching methods
Lectures. Students are encouraged to actively prepare and take part in the discussions through weekly compulsory tasks.
The lectures make ample use of audio-visual material and technologies (extracts from film adaptations or performances, interactive quizzes with voting devices, etc.).
This course is accompanied by 7 hours of workshops. These sessions give the students additional opportunities to master the texts, methodological framework and literary terminology, especially because the approaches to the texts used in the workshops will be complementary to the approaches used in the course proper. Students will also be coached to present a scientific argument in writing exercises that prepare them for the written exam.
Use of generative artificial intelligence (or any other online tool, e.g. translators, spelling and grammar checkers, ...)
If the student chooses to use one or more AIs (or any other online tool), they must systematically indicate all the parts in which these tools were used, e.g. in footnotes. The student should specify whether the AI was used to search for information, to write the text, or to improve or correct it. The student should also mention which AI (or other online tool) was used (ChatGPT, Copilot, DeepL, etc.) and the date on which it was used. Information sources must be systematically cited in accordance with bibliographic referencing standards. The student remains responsible for the content of their work, regardless of the sources used.
In order to ensure that the student's written work is personal, criteria such as originality, critical thinking, creativity and illustration with examples (e.g. from their own experience) will be taken into account.
Any behavior on the part of the student that prevents or attempts to prevent, in whole or in part, the correct assessment of their knowledge, skills and/or competences will be considered an irregularity that may lead to sanctions.
