About Past Refracted

Past Refracted is an essay journal about history, culture and the stories we tell about the past.

The past reaches us through sources, images and objects — and through the questions we ask of them. Like light through a prism, those perspectives shape what comes into view. This journal makes room to look again, notice the details and follow a different thread.

Here you will find essays in Danish and English. When an essay is available in both languages, use the language switch to move between the two versions.
