While focusing on the analysis of cultural representations through literature, cinema, political discourses and the media, research within the field of French and Francophone Studies encourages interdisciplinary approaches.<\/p>\n<p>We recommend students who are conducting research projects and thesis in French to consult the international bibliography of the <a href=\"https:\/\/kent.bates.edu\/erm\/index.php\/erm\/find\/type\/Article%20Indexes\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Modern Language Association<\/span><\/a> (MLA) and the various search guides for French and Francophone studies available through <a href=\"http:\/\/libguides.bates.edu\/content.php?pid=49989&amp;sid=367350\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Ladd library<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Academic journals are often classified by historical periods, geographical areas, special topics or genres. Some journals like <em>The French Review<\/em> offer nonetheless articles on all aspects of French and Francophone Studies. The list of journals below aims to offer students a diverse range of entries to familiarize themselves with the current research within FFS. This list reflects the journals faculty in FFS are consulting and is not exhaustive. Our goal is to encourage students to discover through these journals the wide range of research topics within FFS and gain a sense of the diversity of interdisciplinary approaches.<\/p>\n<p>Often journals favor a century, a geographic area, a genre, a theoretical approach and are defined by an academic tradition or a place of publication.
