Lecture - Inger Anneberg

We talk about “stupid bastards”, but it doesn't last. Pigs are smart. Minced farts, pork roasts and chops — this is how most of us meet the pig: dismembered, packaged and unrecognisable in the supermarket refrigerated counter. But there are far more pigs in Denmark than humans, even though few of us ever associate with the live animals.

Hear anthropologist and author Inger Anneberg take you on a journey of discovery in the pig country of Denmark. With the book The Whole Pig, she delves into our habitual performances and shows the pig as the unique living creature it is — long before it lands on the dinner table.

About the lecturers:Inger Anneberg is a journalist, anthropologist and researcher with a PhD with a special focus on animal welfare in agriculture. She has previously written The Thinking Break Husdyr and is current with Hele vinderiet, in which she casts a new and nuanced look at the pig as a living creature.

About the event series:The event at Østerbro Library is part of a two-evening lecture series on agriculture and animal welfare based on the current and strong books “Flæsk” by Klara Trebbien Rasmussen and the upcoming book “Hele swineriet” by Inger Anneberg.
