How did the French Revolution shape modern Europe? This livestreamed talk from Dokk1 takes you back to one of history's most dramatic and bloody chapters, when ideas about democracy, popular sovereignty and human rights took shape and still influence us today.
Associate professor of literary history Jonas Ross Kjærgård and professor of history Bertel Nygaard explore the causes, course and aftermath of the Revolution across Europe. DR's managing editor for foreign affairs, Sanne Gram Fadel, moderates the conversation.
The evening closes with a short mini-concert by Bertel Nygaard, featuring a selection of revolutionary songs, from well-known sing-along evergreens to rarely heard rebel songs drawn from dusty songbooks.
