Technological development, climate change, and globalization are challenging the national institutions and modes of governance we created during the industrial era. Our old knowledge and general understanding of the world do not provide sufficient answers anymore. To maintain meaningful lives, social calm, and liberal democracy, we need to upgrade our meaning-making to match the complexity of the world we are creating.Polymodernity is an alternative to both modernity and postmodernism, a cultural code that presents itself as an opportunity if we work deliberately towards it. Polymodernity provides us with a framework for understanding ourselves and our societies in a much more complex way. It contains indigenous, premodern, modern, and postmodern cultural elements and thus provides social norms and a moral fabric for intimacy, spirituality, religion, science, and self-exploration, all at the same time. It is a way of strengthening local, national, continental, and global cultural heritage among all and thus has the potential to dismantle the fear of losing one’s culture as the economy as well as the internet and exponential technologies are disrupting our current modes of societal organization and governance. Polymodernity will thus allow us to be meaning-making at a deeper emotional level and a higher intellectual level compared to today; it will allow us a more complex understanding, which may match the complexity of the problems we need to solve. Appropriate meaning-making is the best prevention against the frustrations that generally lead to authoritarian ideologies and societal instability. Using polymodernity as the filter through which we see the world and as a template, we can create, among other things, new and appropriate education, politics, and institutions for our societies of the 21st century. A vision such as this may even give hope.

THERE ARE POEMS TO BE BURNED AND A BOY TO BE KILLED. Paris, 1988. Freia Altena sits in Jardin du Luxembourg, watching over a boy who doesn’t know he is in danger. Death threats on library walls, scorched books on a shelf, and a blind battle with the past. Fighting for safety, Freia soon realises that there is a mystery far grander than expected, an intricate web of love and fury so beautifully dangerous that it threatens to burn everything down. A pen grazes paper, a tonearm scrapes on a record. For a moment, the world stands still and a whole world of art and passion lies buried just around the corner. Then, the clock spins again and the past has become the present and the future is but a poem in a book. Excerpt from the bookPerhaps Freia is not cut out for this. She closes her eyes and opens them again. Paris remains the same, trains arriving and departing in a mechanical cycle. The sight becomes a poem in bold letters, a verse presenting the fact that Freia cannot give up on this warm spring day, for there are higher stakes and longer threads connecting dots that cannot be snapped in two by her feeble hands. About the authorMette Marit Tjelle Holm is a Danish-Norwegian writer of poetry, short stories, and fiction. When she is not writing, she loves to listen to old records and read lots of books. With tea, of course. Secrets of a Poet is her first novel.

His daughter Viktoria is his last hope of rejoicing happiness, and when evil once again shows itself, she is the only light he has left to assist him against it. The Blue Light of the Heartdecayer is a book which tells something about the risk of dwelling in the past, and how it can affect the choices you make in the present. It touches subjects such as loneliness, loss and the anxiety, and at the same time tries to find answers to how you can overcome it, when it is most of all yourself who prevents you from moving on. Excerpt from the book People will often try idolizing their parents, but Smith’s parents died when he was very young, and a curse was his inheritance. In that moment he had no choice but to create his own meaning, set his own ideals, the ones who killed his parents left him no choice but to become a hero. Long ago he had been consumed by the thought of getting back at the murders who destroyed his life, but that did not mean it was something he truly wanted. It was a dream he was having, that almost destroyed him. About the author Sophus Bastian Tettero is 24 years old and soon to be a certified teacher in Danish, English and History.
