Teaching – autumn semester of 2020
Due to the announcement from the Swedish Government issued May 29th, that returning to campus-based education is possible from June 15th, the following applies to teaching at the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology during the autumn semester:
- 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.
Please pay attention to the start time of your teaching. The stated time in your course schedule is valid.
Moving images have long been an important part of culture and society, but digitization and globalization are radically changing their creative, industrial, cultural and social forms and significance. In this course, four select perspectives will allow students both a varied and nuanced understanding of contemporary film cultures in Scandinavia and Europe. The first course focuses on the adaptation of European culture and history – and draw on both film and television. The second course changes the focus from cultural representations and their contemporary and historical contexts, to the sites where films are presented and discussed. Today’s film cultures see the growing importance of film festivals, but also new forums for conversations on film – two areas highlighted here. The third course has a more narrow focus, as it centers on migration and film. Migration is, however, a central concern in today’s Europe, and it has shaped both film production and representation, something this course will explore within different national and historical contexts. The last course has a more open content, as it grants the students a chance to explore an area within Scandinavian and European film culture that particularly interest them. Together, the four courses make clear how various forms of moving images are created and discussed, and how their representations are significant in our contemporary culture. Further, the dual focus on Scandinavia and Europe emphasizes the importance of national and regional film and television production, and its relevance for local communities within a globalized world.
Please note: As an international student, you are encouraged to apply in the January admission round. The later April admission round can be an alternative for students from EU/EEA countries as they do not need a residence permit.
