An evening with Hemingway
The man, the myth, the legend: Ernest Hemingway. Almost all of us have read one of his books - and we dare say that today's literature would look different had it not been for him. This year, on Culture Night, we will bring Hemingway into the 21st century with no less than three different talks. We serve Hemingway's signature cocktail, "death in the afternoon", all evening! Talks will be held in Danish
19.00-19.45: Introduction to Hemingway by Professor Marianne Kongerslev: How do we read Hemingway today?
20.00-20.45: Conversation between Anne Green Munk and Natasha Illum Berg: Hemingway's Africa – geographical area or exotic dream vision?

How do we read Hemingway today?
Introduction to Hemingway by Professor Marianne Kongerslev: How do we read Hemingway today? Professor Marianne Kongerslev, PhD in American Studies, will give an introduction to Hemingway's writing and person. Marianne will give us a suggestion on how we can understand Hemingway with a modern gaze.
Hemingway's Africa
Conversation between literary historian Anne Green Munk and Natasha Illum Berg. How are we to understand Hemingway's representations of Africa in our postcolonial present time? Are his descriptions objective or are they distorted through the white man's gaze? Based on Toni Morison, the two authors will give a guided tour of the African savannahs.
Hunting with Hemingway in the bag
Conversation between Natasha Illum Berg, author and big game hunter in Tanzania, and author Mikkel Frey Damgård. The two will talk about how Hemingway has played a role in their lives as outdoor persons, hunters, fishermen and writers. We've also been promised a heist story or two from the wilderness!
