Syllabus

Particular attention will be paid to the following subjects:
I Module:
• The economy of the France in the 19th century;
• Hector Malot writer and journalist.

II Module

• Hector Malot and the Economy;
• Notaries, law and morality in the work of Malot

Teaching Methods

The course is focused on the reading and analysis of authentic texts in French with the aim of highlighting the economy and culture of the country being studied. The starting point is the semiotic analysis of printed information through two different perspectives: cultural and economic.
The course will look as much as possible into the economy, finance and culture of the country being studied by employing axioms found in masterpieces of literature, and demonstrating how differently writers may anticipate the insights of economists and how economists can be inspired with the work of writers to clarify their own postulates.
