Impasse Poetics at the Nordic Oil Coast

Join us for a thought-provoking event as we dive into the discourse surrounding energy and literature in the Nordic region! This free event features a book presentation by Karl Emil Rosenbæk Reetz, followed by an engaging discussion with Graeme Macdonald, moderated by Tobias Skiveren. To add an artistic touch, we will be treated to a unique performance by Tora Balslev (Daily Fiction).

As the Nordic countries strive to position themselves as green frontiers, their actions—such as extracting fossil fuels from the North Sea—spark a complex narrative in contemporary fiction. This duality presents a peculiar state of 'oil impasse' that resonates throughout Nordic literature and culture.

🎤 Highlights:

• Book Presentation: Karl Emil Rosenbæk Reetz introduces his new work, Impasse Poetics at the Nordic Oil Coast (2026).
• Discussion Panel: Delve deeper into the themes with insights from Professor Graeme Macdonald.
• Performance: Experience Tora Balslev’s exploration of fossil energy's traces in both landscape and human experience.

🥂 After the presentations, enjoy a reception with light refreshments and an opportunity to purchase the book!
