OverviewFrench Cultural Studies for the Twenty-First Century brings together current scholarship on a diverse range of topics—from French postcards and Third Republic menus to Haitian literary magazines and representation of race in vaudeville theater—in order to provide methodological insight into the current practice of French cultural studies. The essays in the volume show how scholars of French studies can effectively analyze what we term “non-traditional sources” in their historical and geographical contexts. In doing so, the volume offers a compelling vision of the field today and maps out potential paradigms for future research. This book builds upon previous scholarship that defined the stakes of using an interdisciplinary approach to analyze cultural objects from France and Francophone regions and aims to evaluate the current state of this complex and constantly evolving field and its current methodological practices.

Most of the essays are beautifully illustrated. This book is definitely worth reading. * The French Review * Here is a well-arranged composite English-language work that introduces us to the literary movement of French cultural studies through its methodological practice. The analysis of non-traditional sources - generally left in the shadows by their popular origin (contrary to what is called the high literature of the great recognized authors) presents, in fact, a certain interest, and moreover, sheds new light on the research possibilities of cultural studies in literature and customs that have dominated the post-revolutionary period to the present day. . . . This original work once more opens discussions for the development of French cultural studies and serves as an example for anyone interested in this form of literary criticism.
