Description
Kursen fokuserar populärkultur och framför allt medier i Latinamerika ungefär från 1975 och framåt. Kursen består av två delar. Delkurs ett består av studier av hur press, radio och tv fungerar, allt mot en bakgrund av den grund som läggs inom utbildningsväsendet. Speciellt uppmärksammas nyhetsförmedling, la telenovela och reklam i länder som Mexiko, Venezuela och Argentina. Studenternas arbete redovisas muntligt på lektionerna som redogörelser samt diskussionsinlägg samt i en uppsats vid kursens slut. Delkurs två består av en egen mindre forskningsuppgift på något av de studerade områdena. Exempelvis kan studenten studera fotbollsreferat, artiklar i anslutning till tv-program samt inrikes- eller utrikesnyheter under en viss tid. En annan uppgift kan vara att följa ett antal avsnitt av en telenovela för att identifiera hur berättelsen är strukturerad. En uppgift skulle kunna vara att följa ett antal magasinsprogram ledda av en känd radio- eller tv-personlighet. Ytterligare en uppgift kan vara att studera ett antal nummer av en och samma tidskrift för att se vilket innehållet är och vilken vinkel som anläggs. Uppgiften redovisas skriftligt och muntligt vid kursens slut.
Included parts
- Cultural Phenomena of Contemporary Latin America, 7.5 credits
- In-depth Assignment, 7.5 credits
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.
