When did the Viking Age actually begin? Wood, turf, stone and daub – how did people live, and how were families organised? Power struggle, curiosity or greed? What were the incentives for Scandinavian expansion? What impact did the…

The course examines literature and other media as important sources of intercultural understanding. Works from both within and beyond the Western world are therefore included. The course studies processes and contexts which are brought to…

The student selects three to four periods in the history of Russian literature for individual study. The selection is made from the following periods: The Enlightenment (the 18th century), The Golden Age of poetry (1800-1830), Realist…

The course examines a number of theoretical approaches which have been dominant in both Swedish and international literary research in recent years. They are introduced in a concrete manner in connection to various issues that have been…

The course focuses on a number of key post-Wall German novels, especially novels from the 1990s which directly or indirectly highlight historical events after the fall of the Wall and the German reunification. The novels are studied in…
