Student work from the "Anatomy of a language and culture" workshop - Episode n°6

The "Anatomy of a language and a culture"

A teaching module common to the successful L1⁺ and Tempo courses of the Licence⁺ program.

What is a culture? How does a language work? What is the relationship between individuals and the social world they produce? From what is woven the cultural web in which we live, which seems so obvious to us while it may seem strange to individuals from other cultural spheres?

Around these questions, this workshop aims to provide historical milestones, linguistic landmarks, anthropological or sociological knowledge, by articulating them to a collective project carried out by the students.

By drawing on students' resources, skills and knowledge, including informal ones, it enables them to make the most of their diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds.

Depending on the dynamics created within the different groups, the themes tackled, the angles of approach, as well as the projects emerging from this workshop are diverse: decoding societal issues, inventing a religion, comparing the systems of several countries, examining the development of a language over several centuries, etc.
