Description

Kursen ger grundläggande kunskaper om den grafiska kommunikationens villkor, medier och dokument i ett kulturvetenskapligt perspektiv, från medeltid till 1800. De praktiker och regleringar som omgärdade böcker och andra dokument studeras liksom böckernas marknad och kultur. Samspelet mellan texter, deras materiella medier och samhällets förändring står i fokus och tyngdpunkten ligger på den kommunikationsrevolution som tryckets introduktion medförde. Viktiga frågor som behandlas är: hur påverkades handskriftskulturen av universitetsväsendets utveckling; vilka orsaker och effekter hade införandet av trycktekniken; hur skedde spridningen av trycket, hur utvecklades bokmarknaden 1450-1800 och hur kan vi förstå relationerna och interaktionen mellan kommunikationsteknik och –kultur och samhälle? I kursen studeras och diskuteras dokument från den aktuella perioden – handskrifter, böcker, bildtryck och tidningar. Undervisningen sker on-line med frivilliga träffar på campus.

Kursen ingår i BBHA14 Bokhistoria, grundkurs.

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.
