Description

På kursen studerar du den grafiska kommunikationens villkor, medier och dokument, från äldsta tid till omkring år 1500. Samspelet mellan texter, mediers materiella uttryck och samhällets förändring står i centrum. Tyngdpunkten ligger på den kommunikationsrevolution som skriften innebar. Viktiga frågor som behandlas är: Vilken betydelse fick övergången från en muntlig kultur till en skriftkultur? Varför skedde övergången från skriftrulle till kodex (det format en vanlig bok har i dag)? Hur påverkades handskriftskulturen av stat och kyrka under medeltiden? 

Du kommer att få bekanta dig med kilskrift, papyrus, pergament, papper och olika illustrationstekniker. Koncentrationen ligger på västerlandet, men du kommer även att studera den tidiga utvecklingen i exempelvis Kina, Korea och den islamiska världen. Du får lära dig hur grafisk kommunikation i text och bild sett ut historiskt och vilka ideologiska, teknologiska och estetiska faktorer som har påverkat utformningen.

Kursen ingår som delkurs 1 i BBHA15 Bokhistoria, grundkurs, men kan även läsas separat. Kursen ges på halvfart och distans via internet.

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.
