商品描述

This groundbreaking volume explores new artistic forms that emerged in German-speaking Europe and Japan in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster. Considering the cultural specificity of post-3.11 literature, poetry, theater, and film, while also attending to moments of crossing, hybridity, and transference, Nuclear Futures in the Post-Fukushima Age offers a critical model for examining the intertwining of transnational connection and ecological contamination in a global present marked by renewed nuclear threat. Bringing together incisive readings by eminent scholars of Germany and Japan as well as a newly translated work by Yōko Tawada, the volume offers a comparative humanities approach that is essential for reframing debates about environmental crisis and nuclear risk.
