Ichi-F
On March 11, 2011, Japan suffered the largest earthquake in its modern history. The 9.0-magnitude quake threw up a devastating tsunami that wiped away entire towns, and caused, in the months afterward, three nuclear meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant. Altogether, it was the costliest natural disaster in human history. This is not the story of that disaster. This is the story of a man who took a job. Kazuto Tatsuta was an amateur artist who signed onto the dangerous task of cleaning up the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant, which the workers came to call "Ichi-F." This is the story of that challenging work, of the trials faced by the local citizens, and of the unique camaraderie that built up between the mostly blue-collar workers who had to face the devious and invisible threat of radiation on a daily basis. After six months, Tatsuta’s body had absorbed the maximum annual dose of radiation allowed by regulations, and he was forced to take a break from the work crew, giving him the time to create this unprecedented, unauthorized, award-winning view of daily life at Fukushima Daiichi.
Ichi-F: A Worker's Graphic Memoir of the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant

Nuclear Cultures
Nuclear Cultures: Irradiated Subjects, Aesthetics and Planetary Precarity aims to develop the field of nuclear humanities and the powerful ability of literary and cultural representations of science and catastrophe to shape the meaning of historic events. Examining multiple discourses and textual materials, including fiction, poetry, biographies, comics, paintings, documentary and photography, this volume will illuminate the cultural, ecological and social impact of nuclearization narratives. Furthermore, this text explores themes such as the cultures of atomic scientists, the making of the bomb, nuclear bombings and disasters, nuclear aesthetics and art, and the global mobilization against nuclearization. Nuclear Cultures breaks new ground in the debates on "the nuclear" to foster the development of nuclear humanities, its vocabulary and methodology.
The Earth Writes
This book extensively analyzes the literary works of fiction that draw on the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami that occurred on March 11, 2011. This disaster inspired literally hundreds of fictional works in Japan from the time of the events through 2017. This response represents a unique and perhaps unprecedented cultural phenomenon in the world. Since a variety of writers in different genres, and even amateurs, have written and published books inspired by their experiences of the disaster, it is extremely difficult to cover the entire body of Japanese “post-3.11 literature”. Because of the breadth of this literary response, there is a scarcity of research on the subject available. This book offers the first comprehensive review of Japan’s recent post-disaster literary production to the English audience.
Rapport d'information sur la faisabilité technique et financière du démantèlement des installations nucléaires de base.
Arrivée au terme de ses travaux, la mission d’information a abouti à un certain nombre de conclusions qui tempèrent fortement l’optimisme des responsables d’EDF qu’elle a pu rencontrer. 1. Le démantèlement prendra plus de temps que prévu. 2. Les hypothèses de départ ne sont pas toutes respectées. 3. Les provisions sont parmi les plus basses de l’OCDE, sans filet de sécurité en cas d’écart sur les coûts. 4. La faisabilité technique n’est pas entièrement assurée. Les recommandations de la mission visent donc à : 1. Revoir les règles de prévision des coûts du démantèlement 2. Établir un agenda prévisionnel des réacteurs à démanteler 3. Assouplir les règles relatives aux déchets à très faible activité (TFA) 4. Faciliter la mise en concurrence pour démanteler 5. Accélérer le démantèlement des réacteurs graphite-gaz (UNGG
Textspiele in der Wirtschaftskommunikation
Das Buch zeigt die Bandbreite zeitgenössischer Textprodukte in der Wirtschaftskommunikation auf, die durch verschiedene Varianten des Spiels mit Sprache und Text beeindrucken und eine lebendige Textkultur illustrieren können. Texte in Unternehmenskommunikation und Werbung folgen vielfach festgelegten Mustern. Pressemeldungen, Editorials oder Werbeanzeigen z.B. bieten als konventionelle Textsorten recht klare Orientierungen zu ihrem Inhalt und ihrer Form. Andere Texte wiederum sind vor allem deshalb aufmerksamkeitsstark und attraktiv, weil sie von Normen abweichen und spielerisch mit Erwartungen an Texte und ihren konventionellen Gestaltungsprinzipien umgehen. Zeitungsbeilagen in Form von Liebesbriefen, schillernde Unternehmensstorys, lyrische Verse in einer Werbeanzeige oder Wirtschaftspublikationen als Comic Strip z.B. informieren und unterhalten zugleich.
Umweltgeschichte
Die Gestaltung des Verhältnisses von Mensch und Natur ist die zentrale Herausforderungen des 21. Jahrhunderts. Dieser Band versammelt Materialien, die die Vielfalt dieses Verhältnisses von der Antike bis in die Gegenwart verfolgen. Die Quellen behandeln Fragen zur Ressourcennutzung und zu Eingriffen in die natürliche Umwelt ebenso wie die Wahrnehmungen und Repräsentationen von Natur in unterschiedlichen historischen Epochen und Situationen – etwa Naturkatastrophen und Kriegen. Enthalten sind auch Beispiele für politische Dimensionen im Umgang mit der Natur – von naturbezogener Herrschaftsrepräsentation bis hin zur Entstehung der Naturschutzbewegung.
The Representation of Japanese Politics in Manga
This edited volume explores political motives, discourses and agendas in Japanese manga and graphic art with the objective of highlighting the agency of Japanese and wider Asian story-telling traditions within the context of global political traditions. Highly illustrated chapters presented here investigate the multifaceted relationship between Japan’s political storytelling practices, media and bureaucratic discourse, as played out between both the visual arts and modern pop-cultural authors. From pioneering cartoonist Tezuka Osamu, contemporary manga artists such as Kotobuki Shiriagari and Fumiyo Kōno, to videogames and everyday merchandise, a wealth of source material is analysed using...
Staging the End of the World
"This book is a brief history of the end of the world as seen through the eyes of theatre. It examines a wide range of plays, from Euripides and Bhasa, to medieval mystery cycles, through Shakespeare, Pushkin, Ibsen, Chekhov, Brecht, and Samuel Beckett, to Caryl Churchill's Far Away, Tony Kushner's Slavs!, and Anne Washburn's Mr. Burns, A Post-Electric Play. Through analyzing these alongside contemporary thinkers, this study helps guide and galvanize the reader in grappling with the climate crisis"--
Literature After Fukushima
Literature after Fukushima examines how aesthetic representation contributes to a critical understanding of the 3.11 triple disaster – the Great East Japan earthquake, tsunami, and multiple meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Through an examination of key works in the expanding corpus of 3.11 literature the book explores how the disaster—both its immediate aftereffects and its continued unfolding—reframed discourse in various areas such as trauma studies, eco-criticism, regional identity, food safety, civil society, and beyond. Individual chapters discuss aspects of these perspectival shifts, tracing the reshaping of Japanese identity after the triple disaster. The ...
