Summary
Contaminated life: hibakusha in Japan in the nuclear age. This project will compare aesthetic reflections of hibakusha, or those who have been exposed to prolonged doses of radioactive contamination, after the 1945 and 2001 contaminations. Comparing their core concerns, how has the social image of hibakusha changed? What do hibakusha reflections imply for a new ethics in individual-state and human-nature dyads?
