Between June 5 and 9, at the Faculty of Letters and County Library "V.A. Urechia" in Galati, took place the International Summer School of Francophone Studies "Postmodern Francophone Literature and Identity", organized by Professor Carmen ANDREI, PhD, with the support of DJUG and the Embassy of Canada.

This International Summer School went through an identity itinerary in French-speaking culture and literature, revisited French literature (established, young and immersive writers), Canadian literature (written by natives and representatives of the post-apocalyptic current), Maghrebian and Belgian, but, especially, highlighted the new trends in identity and gender studies. It addressed both a wide audience and specialists who integrate the "francophone" subject in optional FLE courses.
 
There were 40 participants (master students, PhD students, FLE professors from higher and pre-university education from Galati, Braila, Buzau counties, DJUG alumni, researchers from Mali and Gabon francophone universities) interested in the new francophone cultural landmarks, in the evolution of culture on the syntagmatic and paradigmatic axis of identity themes. A real exchange of ideas, debates and punctual workshops was carried out with 7 trainers, university professors from the country (Universities "Al. I. Cuza", "Stefan cel Mare" from Suceava, "Transilvania" from Braşov) and from abroad (Saint-Mary's University – Halifax, Canada, University of Burgundy – France) on some issues mentioned below.

Five days (40 hours certified with transferable professional credits) were dedicated to courses, conferences and intensive communications that presented the panorama of French literature and contemporary francophone culture after 2000, on the axes: minority vs majority, Acadia, Quebec; identity in the era of digitization, psychogenealogy and filiation, forbidden and transgression with pedagogical sheets and related framework texts; multiple identities of French; precariousness and marginality of subaltern literary identities, etc.
The entrance of the alma mater galatiensis was free.
