in French language and literature, as well as thousands of other books and

through 20th century literature (novel, poetry, and theatre), and Francophone
language and literature outside France, chiefly Canada and Africa. Faculty
research interests include literary genres over time, critical theory, teaching
methodologies, linguistics and phonetics, cross-cultural communication,
gender studies, and French/Japanese literary influences. In addition to the language selectors, discipline selectors (e.g., history,
world literature, linguistics, religion, and philosophy) select European
language materials in their subject areas. Belles-lettres of French-speaking
Oceania may be acquired by the Pacific Collection. Belles-lettres of French-speaking
Indochina may be acquired by the Asia Collection. Audiovisual titles (on
videotape, film, or videodisc, or sound recordings) are normally acquired
through the Wong AV Center. A few English language materials are selected in the areas of literary
criticism, comparative literature, and language pedagogy. Secondary literature
is selectively acquired in other languages. Emphasis is on the languages and literatures of the Mediterranean basin
and metropolitan France, Germany, Spain, and Russia. Austria, Switzerland,
French Canada, French-speaking Africa, Latin America, and the Portuguese
in the Pacific are also of interest. All aspects and genres are acquired, except folk literature and folklore
are normally excluded. Secondary works dealing with historical, critical,
biographical, bibliographical, socio-economic, political and other aspects
of European language and literature are acquired. Foreign language teaching
methodology is acquired. English language translations of European language literature is not widely
sought by the department, but is acquired for the use of scholars in world
and comparative literature. Library
