Kristoffer Steensgaard takes on one of the oldest stories we tell about the sexes. In this talk he looks at the archetypes, stereotypes and ideas that have shaped our understanding of gender, from myth and religion to popular culture and science. He does not claim to know what gender is. Instead he sets out on a tour of the strange and fascinating things that have been said about men and women through history.
The talk is part of Odense Agora, a series of talks at the theatre where Dolphin Philosophy and Teater Momentum bring back the idea of the Greek agora, the open square where citizens debated common concerns. The aim is to get wiser together about subjects that concern our shared life today.
