Description
The renowned philosopher offers âa powerful reflection on our times . . . and the fate of our civilization, as revealed by the catastrophe of Fukushimaâ (François Raffoul, Louisiana State University).
In 2011, a tsunami flooded Japanâs Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, causing three nuclear meltdowns, the effects of which will spread through generations and have an impact on all living things. In After Fukushima, philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy examines the nature of catastrophes in the era of globalization and technology. He argues that in todayâs interconnected world, the effects of any disaster will spread in the way we currently associate only with nuclear risk.
Can a catastrophe be an isolated occurrence? Is there such a thing as a ânaturalâ catastrophe when all of our technologiesânuclear energy, power supply, water supplyâare necessarily implicated, drawing together the biological, social, economic, and political? In this provocative and engaging work, Nancy examines these questions and more.
Exclusive to this English edition are two interviews with Nancy conducted by Danielle Cohen-Levinas and Yuji Nishiyama and Yotetsu Tonaki.
