The Nord University library exhibition “Frankenversions: 200 Years of Adapting Frankenstein”<\/a> has been underway for the last week, and I’m delighted to say that we have had a great deal of visits to our display. It’s become a bit of a local attraction, in fact, and several classes have made their way to see it as a group. One group, of working schoolteachers from various areas of our region who are getting additional English teaching certification, came as a part of their regularly scheduled seminar, but I don’t think they fully knew what to expect when they showed up in Bod\u00f8 that morning (the experience of the delightfully random, of course, being at the very heart of teaching<\/a>)…<\/p>\n

We also had the pleasure of two first grade classes from our local elementary school, M\u00f8rkvedmarka skole, stopping by for a look at the Van der Graaff electricity generator and a taste of Franken Berry “breakfast cereal”. Dr. Ana Borissova was on hand to demonstrate the powerful forces that brought the creature to life. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I was also there, mainly just to say hello but also for an impromptu q&a. I was quite impressed by some of the questions these inquisitive six-year-olds threw at me, and one of them, “Why is he a monster?”, is still turning around in my mind, as it’s exactly the same question that today’s readers and scholars are left asking<\/a>, 200 years after Mary Shelley first asked it in novelistic form. That a child who had never even heard of this text until that moment would so quickly think to ask one of its central questions speaks strongly to the universality of Frankenstein’s<\/em> themes. <\/p>\n

“Frankenversions” is on until November 1st, and the online exhibition “Fire and Ice: Frankenstein and the Arctic”<\/a> will be available even longer, and is well worth a look, the icy Arctic winds making, perhaps, monsters of us all as the winter darkness approaches… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
