Faculty of Texts and Societies (UFR Textes et Sociétés)
Bringing together lecturers in history, literature and sociology — all of whom played a key role in the creation of the Experimental University Centre of Vincennes in 1969 —in a single faculty reflects their shared goals to:
- create a space in which to reflect freely on these separate disciplines, which were formerly ‘prisoners’ of their own academic tradition in France;
- contribute, by opening up a broader perspective on the contemporary world, to new theories in the field;
- reflect more deeply on modern teaching and learning methods and ways to transmit knowledge in a radically changing academic and social environment.
The Faculty of Texts and Societies mainly holds classes in Building B and comprises the following departments:
- Department of Gender Studies
- Department of English Literature
- Department of History
- Department of French and Francophone Literature
- Department of General and Comparative Literature
- Department of Political Science
