Description

Vetenskapliga teorier har genom historien diskuterats, utvecklats och nedtecknats på olika språk. Vår bild av vetenskapshistoriska förlopp måste därför baseras på källmaterial på en stor mängd språk: inte bara grekiska, latin och romanska språk, utan också arabiska, persiska, kinesiska, hindi, och turkiska, med flera. Kursen Språk och vetenskapshistoria ger en överblick över var de mest avancerade vetenskapliga diskussionerna har förts från senantiken och medeltiden till renässansen, och på vilka språk dessa diskussioner har dokumenterats under olika epoker. Kursen fäster uppmärksamhet på hur källmaterialets språkliga mångfald lett till brister i den traditionella bilden av vetenskapshistorien och lyfter fram några av de problem som styr pågående forskning inom området. Språkens roll som kulturförmedlare står i centrum när vi följer idéernas fortlevnad i ett växlande språkligt sammanhang. Några av de teman som berörs är relationen mellan astronomi och astrologi, kostens och livsföringens betydelse för hälsan samt synen på kärlek som en sjukdom.

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.
