Furious lecture: Rage

Rage is the theme of LitFestBergen 2023. Climate change, feminism, racism, trans people, Bokmål, Nynorsk, animal rights – for some people these are red banners that trigger violent rages. At the same time the word bears energy and defiance within it, and can be a source of passion, craziness, humour and energy. It can also be dark and scary, and thus reflects the uncertain times and world we live in.  

But what is rage? Is it anything more than bad temper? Are we more furious now than before? In this causerie Professor of Philosophy Lars Fr. Svendsen will explain what this universal emotion is.

The event will be in Norwegian.
