2 THE OCTAGON, THURSDAY, MAY 12, 1988 _SITUDY \What Do Foucault, Blanclwt,~ Oulipo, and Truffaut Have in . Common?\ They are topics of weekly discussions at the Paris Center for Critical Studies. Among the hundreds of U.S. sponsored academic study programs in France, only the Critical Studies Program in Paris, in cooperation with the University of Paris III, focuses on current French theoretical trends in literature and film studies. Established in 1973, the program originally examined film and film theory, including its history, formal structures, and relationship to the other arts. Today, through the sponsorship of a consortium of 22 U.S. universities and colleges, the program has expanded to include all visual arts as well as many social sciences while maintaining - its original commitment to film. The program's goal is two fold: to teach students to understand con- temporary French theoretical tren- ds in literature, philosophy, and film analysis; and to sharpen students' analytical skills by transcending the traditional barriers separating these disciplines through inter- disciplinary work such as literature and philosophy, literature and pain- ting, film and textual theory. At the Paris Center for Critical Studies, courses are taught by eminent French professors and critics, including Raymond Bellour, Miche! Marie Roger Odin, and Jacques Aumont. Program par- ticipants also enroll! as regular University of Paris students and as such, may take advantage of as many courses as they like at the Universities of Paris. Program par- ticipants have attended seminars given by Gilles Deleuze, Sarah Kofman, Julia Kristeva, and Annie Comolli. Courses are offered both at the graduate and undergraduate levels, on a fall semester, spring semester, or academic year basic. There is a minimum 2 year college-level Fren- ch requirement for fall semester and academic year students, 3 years for spring students. Applican- ts must also have a minimum of two courses in either film studies, literary _ criticism, « or com- munications.
