She is particularly interested in the social rituals of the Bible and its environment.<\/p>\n<p>She is good at it. Her research has just won her the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters\u2019 silver medal, which goes to a younger Danish researcher who has achieved excellent results. In their justification, they state:<\/p>\n<p><em>Anne Katrine de Hemmer Gudme is a young, promising female scientist, who in a short time has built up an impressive body of research in the Old Testament that is widely recognised both at home and abroad.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m so honoured,&#8221; said a delighted Anne Katrine de Hemmer Gudme when the University Post caught up with her on the phone:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe academy stands for uncompromising basic research, and this is something we always strive for at the university. So for me it&#8217;s great to get the recognition from them. It feels very good indeed, and when you look at the former recipients, I am in extremely good company.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>What would Jesus eat?<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;I look in particular at the relationship between food and gender, and between food and rituals in the Old Testament. And at the moment I&#8217;m writing a book on hospitality,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Old Testament is firmly planted in the past, but the book also speaks directly to the present in many different ways<\/p>\n<p class=\"quotee\">Anne Katrine de Hemmer Gudme<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>At the beginning of October this year she published a small, handy, book called \u2018<em>Himmelsk f\u00f8de og forbuden frugt<\/em>\u2019, or \u2018Heavenly food and forbidden fruit\u2019, where she examined what they actually eat in the Bible. Food reveals who we are and where we come from. And the examples in the book show that it is nothing new that food can be used both politically, religiously and as an identity marker, like we see today in the raw food movement and in veganism, she says:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a whole genre of what you could call bible cookbooks (with titles like the <em>What Would Jesus Eat Cookbook<\/em>), where the Bible is reactivated through the cookbook. And I find this quite funny. The Bible is fun in comparison with other texts, because it is part of a cultural heritage, a basic mythology which continues to reappear and be reinterpreted. The Old Testament is firmly planted in the past, but the book also speaks directly to the present in many different ways,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n<div class=\"factbox\">\n<p class=\"factbox-header feature-color\">The Academy of Sciences silver medal<\/p>\n<p>The Royal Danish Society of Sciences and Letters awards each year a silver medal to a young Danish scientist for <strong>excellent basic research.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The prize is awarded alternately between research in the humanities and the natural sciences.

You can&#8217;t say that I am at the beginning of my research career \u2013 I have got off to a good start. When you tell people outside the university that you got a prize for young researchers, they laugh at you being young at the university when you&#8217;re 38,&#8221; says Anne Katrine de Hemmer Gudme laughing.<\/p>\n<p>She confirms that the prize will certainly contribute positively to her further career:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It feels like a huge encouragement. The recognition is an indication that I have done something right \u2013 and that I should continue. So I feel very happy, encouraged and inspired to do more \u2013 to publish books, organise conferences, and give lectures.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And Jesus? He lived pretty much on a diet that resembles what they eat in the Mediterranean countries: Fruit, vegetables, whole grains, fish, olive oil \u2013 and he would only nibble at meat once in a while.<br \/>\n<!-- end of module 1 --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anne Katrine de Hemmer Gudme receives the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters\u2019 silver medal for her research on the Old Testament.

And the examples in the book show that it is nothing new that food can be used both politically, religiously and as an identity marker, like we see today in the raw food movement and in veganism, she says:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a whole genre of what you could call bible cookbooks (with titles like the <em>What Would Jesus Eat Cookbook<\/em>), where the Bible is reactivated through the cookbook. And I find this quite funny. The Bible is fun in comparison with other texts, because it is part of a cultural heritage, a basic mythology which continues to reappear and be reinterpreted. The Old Testament is firmly planted in the past, but the book also speaks directly to the present in many different ways,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n<div class=\"factbox\">\n<p class=\"factbox-header feature-color\">The Academy of Sciences silver medal<\/p>\n<p>The Royal Danish Society of Sciences and Letters awards each year a silver medal to a young Danish scientist for <strong>excellent basic research.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The prize is awarded alternately between research in the humanities and the natural sciences.

You can&#8217;t say that I am at the beginning of my research career \u2013 I have got off to a good start. When you tell people outside the university that you got a prize for young researchers, they laugh at you being young at the university when you&#8217;re 38,&#8221; says Anne Katrine de Hemmer Gudme laughing.<\/p>\n<p>She confirms that the prize will certainly contribute positively to her further career:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It feels like a huge encouragement. The recognition is an indication that I have done something right \u2013 and that I should continue. So I feel very happy, encouraged and inspired to do more \u2013 to publish books, organise conferences, and give lectures.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And Jesus? He lived pretty much on a diet that resembles what they eat in the Mediterranean countries: Fruit, vegetables, whole grains, fish, olive oil \u2013 and he would only nibble at meat once in a while.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"ArticleEnd"},{"acf_fc_layout":"Newsletter","lang_select":"Dansk","identifier":"Newsletter","headline":"Receive a weekly newsletter in your inbox","button_text":"Tilmeld nu","class":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"OtherStories","headline":"","hand_picked_posts":false,"references":false,"category":false,"theme":false,"number_of_posts":"4","style":"default"}]},"taxonomyData":{"category":[{"term_id":44,"name":"Campus","slug":"campus","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":44,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":1547,"filter":"raw"},{"term_id":46,"name":"Science","slug":"science","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":46,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":831,"filter":"raw"}],"post_tag":[],"post_format":[],"expression":[{"term_id":15,"name":"News Article","slug":"news_article","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":15,"taxonomy":"expression","description":"","parent":0,"count":11489,"filter":"raw"}],"translation_priority":[]},"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/anneogmogens-1280x960.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77545","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77545"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77545\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":77565,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77545\/revisions\/77565"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/76831"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77545"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77545"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77545"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
