Fakes and Failures: The Art of Disguise in Colonial North Africa 

Edwige Crucifix, Assistant Professor of French and Francophone Studies 

During the French colonization of North Africa, it became a common and fashionable practice for women to cross-dress as men and/or as 鈥淥rientals鈥.   Professor Crucifix will explain how her current courses and book project explore the meaning of disguises in various colonial and postcolonial contexts and question the notion of identity. 

Recording the Song of the City 

Julien Suaundeau, Senior Lecturer in French and Francophone Studies and Program Director of Film Studies  

Philadelphia, like any city, can be experienced as an infinite stream of stories - some happy, some strange, some funny, some tragic. How can we build a sound archive of those memories?  Professor Suaudeau, Director of Film Studies and host/producer of Song of Philadelphia and The People Left Behind, talks about his creative process.
