Sweden Finnish Literature

About this programme

The course covers Sweden-Finnish literature and culture from the 1970s to the present day. It provides a picture of how Swedish-Finnish literature and its central genres have developed under specific historical conditions and what role they have played for Sweden-Finnishness. The course is based on a minority research perspective, but also applies a transnational view of literature, where Swedish-Finnish literature is seen in relation to Finnish literary history writing, canon formation and research tradition in literary studies. In addition to individual works of fiction and authors, the special features of the Sweden-Finnish literary institutions are also discussed. Fiction is also related to phenomena in theatre and film. Instruction is given in the form of lectures and seminars or alternatively own reading and supervision. Instruction is either online or campus-based, as specified for each course offering. The course is examined on the basis of one written assignment in the form project work and one oral presentation. To follow your passion. To be close to international career opportunities.
