  • Due to the ongoing corona (COVID-19) pandemic and the restrictions that have been issued, the courses taught this autumn will have a limited number of meetings on campus, depending on the availability of suitable lecture rooms. The major part of the teaching will take place online. Detailed information on what is the case for your course will be given below.
  • If the teaching is campus-based, there will be assigned entry and exit passages for each teaching room regarding stairwells, corridors and entrances (doorways). Please be considerate and follow the instructions to the point. Hand disinfectant will be available in all lecture halls and group rooms.

Description

Den här kursen tar sin utgångspunkt i religiösa och litterära klassiker från Mellanöstern och Sydasien. Kursens syfte är att ge en introducerande analys av dessa klassiker och dess tolkare.

Kursen behandlar zoroastrianism, vediska skrifter och Koranen, samt deras uttolkare. Även skönlitterära klassiker från regionerna studeras.

Under kursen får du läsa olika tolkare av dessa texter och titta på skillnader och likheter. Vi analyserar också litteraturens påverkan på västerländsk populärkultur. Vilka idéer från zoroastrianismen kan vi hitta i Game of Thrones? Har hinduiska fabler påverkat litteraturen i Europa? Finns det spår av arabiska andeväsen i västerländsk populärkultur? 

Kursen läses på distans och har introducerande föreläsningar utifrån vetenskapliga perspektiv med inlämningar och diskussioner där du aktivt förväntas delta och diskutera.

Note!

This course is not open as a freestanding course next semester. It can be open for application within a programme or for students in an exchange programme. Please ask your academic advisor for information.

How to apply

Lund University uses a national application system run by University Admissions in Sweden. It is only possible to apply during the application periods: October–January for autumn semester and June–August for spring semester.

Extended application deadline

Sometimes the application deadline is extended for a specific programme or course. In these cases you will find the message "open for late application" by the programme/course information on universityadmissions.se. You apply with the usual application steps. As long as this message is showing, it is possible to apply, but late applications are processed in order of date, so it is still important to apply as soon as possible. Please note that if the programme/course does not have an extended deadline, it is not possible to apply late.

First or Second Admission Round?

All international students are encouraged to apply to the First admission round. This round takes place many months before the start of a semester and gives students the time they need to pay their tuition fees, apply for and receive their residence permit (if required), find housing, etc.

The Second admission round is an alternative for students from EU/EEA countries as they do not need a residence permit. Non-EU/EEA students will most likely not have enough time to obtain their permit before the start of the semester. However, even EU/EEA students are advised to apply during the First admission round, as some programmes can be applied for only in the January round. Also, this provides applicants with an admission decision much earlier, which is helpful in making decisions about their studies.

Tuition Fees

Non-EU/EEA citizens

Citizens of a country outside of the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland are required to pay tuition fees. You pay one instalment of the tuition fee in advance of each semester.
