Doctoral programme in Comparative Literature at Karlstad University.
Comparative literature in Karlstad centres on different forms of transgression in terms of theme, content, and interdisciplinarity. At the moment four doctoral students are working in the discipline, and together they cover a wide range of topics: from poetry and narratology to subject-specific teaching and learning.
It is sometimes said that we live in a media society. What does that really mean? What role is played by the media in our lives? Why does media content look the way it does? How do we use the media – in our private lives and at work? And how do the media actually influence our view of the world and of ourselves?
