SUMMARY:Tractatus Philosophico-Poeticus
DESCRIPTION:On May 17\, attend a virtual book talk with Danish author Signe Gjessing and translator Denise Newman on Tractatus Philosophico-Poeticus\, an exquisite\, lyrical reimagining of Wittgenstein’s philosophical work of 1922. With moderator Rosie Ellison-Balaam\, they’ll discuss the book and its translation\, out now from Lolli Editions. \nLudwig Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus\, often noted as the most important philosophical work of the 20th century\, had a broad goal: to identify the relationship between language and reality\, and to define the limits of science. Following on from Wittgenstein 100 years later\, Signe Gjessing updates and reimagines the Tractatus\, marrying poetry with philosophy to test the boundaries of reality. Stunning\, knowing\, and revitalising\, and glinting with stars\, silk\, and ecstasy\, this is poetry which exacts the logical consequence of philosophy\, while locating beauty and significance in the nonsense of the world. \nThis event will take place as a Zoom webinar; please ask questions in the chat or send them in advance to  info@amscan.org. Registration is required; please sign up at the link above. This conversation will be recorded and available later to stream on our Virtual Programming page and on our YouTube channel. \n“Wilder and more generous than a straightforward satirical pastiche… An enchanting pocketbook\, both mind-bending and mind-straightening”– The Guardian\n“This is poetry about how we organise the spaces we enter – viable and impossible\, concretely or in the mind”– ATLAS \nAbout the Speakers\nSigne Gjessing is a Danish poet. She graduated from the Danish Academy of Creative Writing\, Forfatterskolen\, in 2014. She has published several collections of poetry and a novella\, and is the recipient of numerous awards and prizes\, including the prestigious Bodil & Jørgen Munch Christensen Prize for emerging writers. Tractatus Philosophico-Poeticus is her first work to appear in English. \nDenise Newman is a poet and translator based in San Francisco\, who teaches at the California College of the Arts.

SUMMARY:Betrayed
DESCRIPTION:“Powerful and immersive” (Los Angeles Times) — On May 18\, see the gripping Norwegian Holocaust drama based on the story of the Braude family\, Betrayed /Den største forbrytelsen (dir. Eirik Svensson\, Norway\, 2021) at Scandinavia House! \nWhen German troops invade Norway during World War II\, despite the millions of Jewish people across Europe who have been deported and killed in German concentration camps\, Norwegian Jews initially feel safe and protected. Among them are the Braude family: including Charles\, an up-and-coming boxer planning to marry a gentile\, Ragnhilde; his mother Sara and father Benzel\, and brothers Harry (Carl Martin Eggesbø) and Isak (Eilif Hartwig). But as the war escalates in Europe\, the situation changes drastically. When all Jewish men over the page of 15 are arrested and taken to prison camps\, many of the women behind are too frightened to escape\, desperately waiting for their husbands and sons to return — until November 26\, 1942\, when hundreds of Jews are picked up by police and transported to a dock in Oslo to the German cargo ship SS DONAU\, destined for Auschwitz. For the Braudes\, an ordinary Norwegian family\, their fate is sealed by the fact that they are Jews. (126 min. In Norwegian with English subtitles) \n“An agonized study of suffering and treachery\, and no less valuable — or powerful — for being regrettably familiar”—Variety \nThis screening will take place in Victor Borge Hall; attendees are required to follow all Scandinavia House safety protocols\, including wearing masks during the program and observing social distancing rules in signage. Please read our full safety protocols here. ASF is committed to providing an environment free from harassment or discrimination in the treatment of individuals and does not permit harassment or discrimination in any forms (whether racial\, sexual\, religious\, orientation or others) within our building.
