An evening for language: Knut Cordsen reads in Traunstein from 'Stand now'
A precise look at our contemporary language, an engaging author encounter and the reading atmosphere of a historical place: Knut Cordsen presents his book 'Stand now – From the dictionary of my fellow human beings' at the Kulturforum Klosterkirche Traunstein. Those who love the art of language and want to hear societal debates penetrated intelligently will experience a focused literary experience here.
Words that have an impact: Language criticism with sensitivity
With a practiced ear for nuances and an elegant, essayistic tone, Cordsen follows the narratives of our everyday jargon. Terms that shape politics, media, and pop culture are analytically dissected, ironically illuminated, and aesthetically classified. This creates a reading that challenges both mind and ear and makes the literary quality of language criticism sensually tangible.
Tradition and present in dialogue
In the tradition of great German-speaking language criticism, Cordsen connects cultural history with contemporary discourse enthusiasm. His style balances between seriousness and wit, between observation and assessment. The voice leads carefully through fields of meaning that everyone thinks they know – until the author unlocks them anew.
Reading atmosphere in the Klosterkirche
The intimate acoustics of the former Klosterkirche, the concentrated setting, and the free seating enhance the literary experience. Doors open one hour before the event; those who arrive early secure a seat and ample time to let the historical surroundings take effect.
Work and author profile: Expertise meets stage experience
Cordsen, an experienced cultural journalist and moderator, combines radio precision with stage calm. 'Stand now' was published in 2025 by Verlag Antje Kunstmann; press reviews from broadcasting and feuilleton attest to the volume's wit, accuracy, and pointed interpretation strength.
Conclusion: An evening for everyone who wants to not only use language but to understand it. Those contributing to the dictionary of the present should experience this reading live.
