Anthropocene on the National Stage: Maaseudun tulevaisuus (“Future of the Countryside”, The Finnish National Theatre 2014) and the Interregnum We Live in The article argues that entering the Anthropocene has pushed us into a cultural interregnum. However, the discussions of the Anthropocene and the concept of interregnum seldom meet. In this article it is assumed that this stems from the fact that the concept of interregnum pertains to the 20th century critical epistème and as such, it is a mismatch with the current theoretical impulse of turning toward affects, ontology and becoming. However, the case is made that we should not let go of the critical legacy altogether: to analyse struggle over and between epistemologies, we need critical concepts. Research material in the article consists of the manuscript of Leea Klemola’s 2014 Finnish National theatre production “The Future of the Countryside”, and nine articles from the newspaper Helsingin Sanomat’s digital archive, published during the play’s opening week. “The Future of the Countryside” asks what could the relationship between humans and their companion species be like, were it not based on the idea that it is legitimate for humans to treat the rest of the world as resources. However, the media brouhaha surrounding the play’s opening night hardly touches upon this theme at all. Instead, the nation and the limits of national culture are repeatedly evoked as the primary explanatory framework. In this way, the “Future of the Countryside” provides an illustrative case of the interregnum we live in, understood as old epistemologies losing ground but still keeping the new from emerging.

The article analyzes the philosophical heritage of the outstanding Ukrainian philosopher S. B. Krymsky, who acutely felt the sacredness and spiritual power of the beauty, goodness and truth of this world and all the efforts of his whole life focused on the establishment of these great values. In his philosophical explorations, the scientist gradually moved from the development of problems of logic and methodology of science to the development of problems of epistemology and philosophy of culture, as well as Ukrainian philosophy and national culture, using the method of archetypes and universals. Special attention of S. B. Krymsky devoted himself to the study of the phenomenon of sophianism and the problem of the second spiritual birth of man, as his involvement in certain existentials, among which the main ones are freedom, love and creativity. The scientist emphasized the special role of Ukraine in the modern civilization process. Having the most powerful cultural potential, it must use it for the future construction of civilization on the basis of solidarity, consensus and partnership.

This section examines Claudia Llosa’s 2009 film La teta asustada in contrast with Paloma de papel (2003, Fabrizio Aguilar). While the latter promotes traditional, paternalistic, and objectifying images of rural indigenous culture, Llosa’s film, which focuses on indigenous immigrants in Lima, assumes a horizontal position with respect to indigenous communities. With over 40% of its dialogue in Quechua, La teta asustada, both through its circumstances of production and its treatment of its subject matter, is unique in that re-locates national culture and redefines the national subject, suggesting that the future of Peru lies greatly in an urban indigenous culture sustained by an inevitable heterogeneity of knowledges and practices. Furthermore, the film demands a new ethical stance on the part of the larger audience, obliging the public to take a position less of a far-away empathizer and more of solidarity.

This article analyses the politics of space and the search for national regeneration in a society that is bifurcated along class, moral, and ethical lines. Whichever way one looks at it, Zimbabwe’s spatialised realities in both denotative and connotative terms stubbornly stand out. Space here is used as a discursive method of inclusion and exclusion. There are opposition spaces, ZANU-PF spaces, church spaces, corrupt spaces and spaces of violence and coercion. What are often dwarfed are those spaces that represent the future, national cohesion and multiculturalism, because they have never been allowed to flourish. This article examines the novel Hatchings (2006) by John Eppel in order to argue that the spaces of national toxicity preponderate over the spaces that represent national development, healing and justice. The article invokes theories of space and place by such theorists as Henri Lefebvre, Setha Low and Ranka Primorac to argue that space is socially produced and imbued with symbolic meaning over and above its physicality. As embodied, space(s) houses metaphors, ideology, behaviours, habits and orientations that can either unhinge or redeem a society depending on the balance of forces at play in given social contexts. What Eppel seems to be suggesting, the article concludes, is that despite the fact that Zimbabwe has been in the tenacious grip of the spaces of looters and immoral personages, the nation possesses within itself spaces for self-renewal that are often ignored or suppressed in the relentless pursuit of self-interest. There is a need for a new national culture and ethos that propels the nation into the future rather than the abyss.

Chapter 4 follows the postgeneration and questions what the emotional rupture narrative means to young Estonian intellectuals. Because of a ‘belated postmemory’, they encountered the still unnarrated emotions of Soviet suffering during the Singing Revolution. Moreover, they lively remember that they and their relatives have participated in the rebuilding of the nation-state. The chapter explores the moral obligations that they still experience today. Independence is not something they take for granted but a merit that needs to be cherished. Their belief in the necessity of a strong national culture for Estonia’s survival makes it difficult for these young intellectuals to criticize nationalist memory politics, especially in times of insecurity. They would not only betray their nation, but also their (grand)parents.

This chapter addresses Jewish nationalism and the birth of the Yiddish press in Galicia. Jewish nationalism in Galicia, like its Viennese counterpart, was initially a movement largely of the secular intelligentsia, especially students. Raised in a Polish cultural (and educational) milieu, Jewish students tended at first to identify strongly with Polish nationalist aspirations, but the increasing rejection they experienced from Polish nationalists, among whom antisemitism was sharply rising, made them choice targets for Zionist propaganda. Galician Zionists attacked their 'assimilationist' rivals ferociously, and tried to inspire Galician Jews to support the rebirth of a Jewish national culture instead. At first they relied on the German-language Viennese organ Selbst-Emanzipation, but by 1892, they had begun to publish their own Polish-language literature, including a party organ, Przyszłość (The Future).

Chigozie Obioma is a novelist of Nigerian origin who has published two novels so far. He has been hailed as an ‘heir to Chinua Achebe’ the master African novelist. The comparison of Obioma with Achebe is obvious because both of them belong to the same tribe, but what is more important is that Obioma seems to carry from the point where Achebe left. In his debut novel The Fishermen, Obioma foregrounds the problems that plague postcolonial Nigeria. In the novel, he confirms that whatever Achebe prophesied about the future of Nigeria has come true. Like his illustrious predecessor, he is critical of colonial institutions that have decimated the national culture of Nigeria. The paper is a study of Obioma’s novel The Fishermen.

Education-based on character and culture is urgent to be developed in Indonesia to maintain the integrity of the Indonesian nation in the future. This development must be carried out jointly by elements of educational institutions. In Indonesia, three educational institutions can develop the fundamental values of character education, namely pesantren, madrasah, and schools. This research using a qualitative approach has revealed national character education and culture in Islamic Boarding Schools, Madrasah, and Schools, namely at the Brotonegaran 2 Ponorogo State Elementary School Ibtidaiyah Madrasah Mayak Ponorogo and Darul Falah Islamic Boarding School Sukorejo Ponorogo. The research found two suggestions that need to be considered by pesantren, madrasah and schools, namely the development of character education and national culture should be carried out sustainably and does not need to be taught but developed habituation and example.
