Anne-Sophie Balzer & Simon Probst: Ein Gespräch über das Gle

Description

This event features authors Anne-Sophie Balzer and Simon Probst discussing their recent books that connect personal experiences in the high mountains with scientific and cultural history. They explore how the image of glaciers has evolved from symbols of grandeur and national myths to markers of climate change and mortality. The conversation will delve into the shifting narratives about glaciers, the decline of ice, and contemporary attitudes towards these icy landscapes. Moderated by Céline Burget, the event is part of the 'Glacier Protocols' workshop organized by the University of Basel's German Seminar.
