Ootame kõiki 25. septembril 2026 kell 17 Kirjandusinstituudi muuseumisse Teadlaste Öö Festivali raames toimuvasse teadussalongi, kus räägime energiast ja kirjandusest.

Süveneme kirjanduse ja laiemalt kultuuri ning energia üllatavatesse seostesse 20. sajandi algupoolel. Küsime, kas kõik on ikkagi energia, nagu arvas 1853. aastal Riias sündinud Nobeli keemiaauhinna laureaat Wilhelm Ostwald, kelle ideede kiiluvees liikus veidi ka noor Friedebert Tuglas. Kuidas energiast tollal aru saadi ning kuidas loodi energiast pakatavat luulet ja proosat?

We invite everyone to join us on September 25, 2026, at 5 PM at the Under and Tuglas Literary Institute's museum for a Research Salon held as part of Researchers’ Night Festival, where we will explore the relationship between energy and literature.

We will delve into the surprising connections between literature—and culture more broadly—and energy in the first half of the 20th century. We will ask whether everything really is energy, as believed by Nobel Prize-winning chemist Wilhelm Ostwald, who was born in Riga in 1853 and whose ideas also influenced the young Friedebert Tuglas to some extent. How was energy understood at the time, and how did writers create poetry and prose brimming with energy?
