Description

The course focuses on the Latin American literary "boom" of the 1960s and 1970s, but it also discusses literary works from both before and after this period. Authors from Chile and Argentina in the south to Mexico and Cuba in the north are discussed. Particular attention is paid to García Márquez, Vargas Llosa, Fuentes and Cortázar. To exemplify both the continuity and the change after the boom authors such as Puig and Allende are discussed. Similarities and differences with contemporary European and North American literary currents are placed in focus. In addition, the student further develops his/her proficiency in using Spanish in speech and writing.

The course is included in the Master of Arts programme in Literature – Culture – Media with a specialisation in Spanish literature. It is also offered as a single course.

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.

Tuition Fees

Non-EU/EEA citizens

Citizens of a country outside of the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland are required to pay tuition fees. You pay one instalment of the tuition fee in advance of each semester.
