Vad är en disciplin? Om det gränslösa latinet och ämnets position vid Lunds universitet

In this contribution, Göransson explores the historical background of classical philology,in particular Latin, in Sweden. Research in Latin encompasses studies on Latin of alltimes: both classical, medieval and Neo-Latin. Göransson discusses the growth of the subjectboth in the upper secondary school and in the universities in the late 1990s. Today,however, the economic system is hard on all minor disciplines. Collaboration, especiallywithin graduate education, would be the best way to make sure that the Latin disciplineremains strong in all four main universities in Sweden
