The third and final writing assignment is due Tuesday May 8 by noon, either by email (attachment) or in hard copy to my office (WRI B 317), in lieu of an in-class final.
This assignment is either
1. a revision of one or both of your earlier essays
2. a new essay of five to seven pages on the 2012 election campaign -- that can be on any candidate, party or issue -- that allows you to demonstrate the presence of either the Jacobin or the Bonapartist/Gaullist conception of the state in the current French political landscape.
3. an essay of five to seven pages on either of the documents we studied concerning the 2007 campaign. You may write on the film The conquest or the Badiot book, The True Meaning of Sarkozy, and address whether or not you find these documents (either or both) to be more about the personal attributes of Nicholas Sarkozy as a man, of the attributes of the directly elected presidency as an institution, or of the Republic as a democratic form of government?
Note that class will not meet on Thursday April 27, to allow you time to work on your third assignment.
