I have argued throughout this book that the stories people live by say as much about culture as they do about the people who live and tell them. Our own life stories draw on the stories we learn as active participants in culture – stories about childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and aging. Stories capture and elaborate metaphors and images that are especially resonant in a given culture. Stories distinguish between what culture glorifies as good characters and vilifies as bad characters. to understand how the criteria of truth and understanding must be reformulated.

Administrators are looking outside the liberal arts because they feel financial pressure. The numbers show that liberal arts graduates actually do very well after graduation, but there is no denying that prospective college students – and their tuition-paying parents – do not believe that. The percentage of liberal arts majors is trending downward, and shrinking enrolments result in college teaching jobs that don’t get replaced.

The future of the study of culture can generate reflections from several different perspectives involving issues related to contents, methodologies, and political stances, as well as academic and/or social relevance, and epistemological ethics and responsibility. For early career researchers like myself, this can be ambig-uously motivating, as a set of opportunities to engage in new and challenging endeavors, but also can sometimes seem a tiring and frustrating practice, partic-ularly when one encounters outdated academic structures that are too rusty to be moved and transformed. This 360 foot long and eight foot tall mural is an extended semi-autobiographical dialogue, with stories and anecdotes, plays between two characters, a ‘Lagoon Maker’ and a ‘witness’, and serves to establish the philosophical basis for the ecological argument in many later works. Beginning in Sri Lanka with an edible crab and ending in the Pacific with the green-house effect, it seeks ever-larger frames for a consideration of survival. It looks at experi-mental science, the marketplace and megatechnology, finally posing the question, “What are the conditions necessary for Survival” and concluding that it is necessary to reorient consciousness around a different database.

Jens Kugele: Thank you very much, Peter, for agreeing to this interview. I truly appreciate this opportunity to continue our conversations on possible futures of the study of culture and to include your perspective as a scholar and filmmaker in this dialogical form. In addition to your academic work as a physicist and historian of science, you have also been involved in the production of several documentary films. In your and Robb Moss’s documentary Containment (2015), for instance, you raise questions about possible futures when you shed light on governments’ practices in their efforts to (safely) contain overwhelming amounts of radioactive sludge for the next ten thousand years. Your film addresses the question of how we can communicate with future generations and, indeed, future cultures about these containment attempts. In your view, how can we in the academic study of culture make sure that we foster communication with future generations and with future cultures? What kind of questions, topics, and concerns are of central importance in this context? What kind of (new) genres, formats, and media might be helpful or even necessary in your view?
