Swedish title:
Judaistik: Sionism - från utopi till ideologi
Credits:
7.5
Description
Sionismen är på sätt och vis en unik nationell rörelse. Den växte fram bland ett utspritt och heterogent folk, vars gemensamma nämnare i princip inskränkte sig till en gemensam religion - samt en messiansk dröm om att en gång i framtiden få återvända till Sion. På kursen Sionism: från utopi till ideologi följer vi sionismens historia under tretusen år. Vi ska söka sionismens ursprung i tidig rabbinsk litteratur och liturgi, bekanta oss med olika proto-sionister men framför allt fördjupa oss i de senaste hundra årens olika sionistiska tänkare och ideologier, vilka på olika vis sätter sin prägel på dagens israeliska samhälle. Under kursens gång kommer vi därmed att bekanta oss med en rad sionistiska personligheter, deras ideologi och politik. Vi kommer att studera staten Israels historia och kopplingen mellan sionism/nationalism och religion/messianism. Vi kommer även att fundera över den sionistiska historieskrivningens genomslagskraft samt ta upp olika kritiska inomjudiska röster som postsionism och antisionism.
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.
