Description
In this course you will explore Sholem Aleichem's narrative art in relation to the creation of a modern Jewish culture in Russia and the United States during the period 1883-1914.
Sholem Aleichem's most important works include his monologues Milkman Tevye, Railway Stories and Menakhem Mendel. These works are discussed and analyzed in relation to the crisis that Russian Jewish culture underwent from the beginning of the 1880s until the outbreak of the Second World War. Sholem Aleichem's encounter with American culture - the stay in the United States in 1905-1906 and the emigration to the United States in 1914 - is discussed on the basis of his plays that were filmed and staged at Jewish theaters.
In summary, you will learn in what respects Sholem Aleichem's unique art of storytelling is the main contribution to the creation of a modern, Jewish culture.

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.
