									<h3>Talk: Fictional Spaces of Danish Anatomical Poems, Ivana Bicak (Bilkent University)</h3>
<p>When a stork is mangled during a seventeenth-century dissection experiment in Copenhagen's Anatomy House, its life continues in the Underworld, where it hunts Proserpina's ghastly frogs along the dark waters of Cocytus. Such is the case with the fictional representation of the scientific experiments of the anatomical theatre in a poem by Michael Kirstein, assistant to Professor Simon Paulli at Copenhagen's Anatomy House. This talk will examine the fictional spaces constructed by Danish anatomical poems and their interplay with contemporary medicine and physiology.</p>
<h3>Workshop: Fictionality, Art and Science</h3>
<p>The workshop will explore the broader subject of the relationship between fictionality, art, and science, giving participants an opportunity to focus on and develop their individual research agendas further. Copenhagen’s 17th century Anatomy House (<em>Domus Anatomicus Hafniensis</em>) will serve as a case study of how fictionality and artistic practices make use of science for their own ends. This case study raises many questions related to the broader field of fictionality, art and science: In what ways does science inspire art and fictionality? How does fictionality and art shape or reimagine science? What forms of insight can be gained from productive collaborations across these different fields? These are just some of the questions the workshop will attempt to answer.</p>
<p>The format consists of 10‑minute flash presentations by individual researchers followed by a roundtable discussion. Presentations of new research ideas, work-in-progress as well as mature work at all career levels are most welcome. If you wish to present at the workshop, contact Mikkel-Theis Paulsen at <a href="mailto:mtpaulsen@cc.au.dk">mtpaulsen@cc.au.dk</a>&nbsp;by March 20.</p>
