Our course analyses how the nuclear, in its different configurations, is imagined, understood and negotiated through cultural texts. These include scholarly treatises, governmental campaigns, film, visual art, and a range of narrative forms. Throughout the course, we will work with insights from the environmental humanities, postcolonial studies and science and technology studies with the aim of developing a sound understanding of concepts such as risk, deep time, sacrifice zones, waste and toxicity.
