French cultural icons
"Who is this woman with the red Phrygian bonnet who has come to be the symbol of France? Supermodels and actresses have posed for sculptures in her likeness. What is it about this woman that makes her a cultural icon? This module introduces the student to the figure of Marianne and reflects on her historical significance. It is the beginning of a larger discussion of what constitutes the importance of cultural icons in determining the evolving identity of a people."
Things we get fixated as a society. Cultural icons, in other words.
