The Nuclear Culture Source Book' serves as an excellent resource and introduction to nuclear culture as one of the most prominent themes within contemporary art and society, exploring the diverse ways in which post-Fukushima society has influenced artistic and cultural production. The book brings together a wide-ranging collection of material from artists and writers working within the scope of nuclear culture internationally, including works by renowned practitioners such as Lise Autogena, Thomson & Craighead, Crowe & Rawlinson, David Mabb, Katsuhiro Miyamoto, Kota Takeuchi and Chim-Pom. Building on four years of research into nuclear culture by the book s editor, Ele Carpenter, "The Nuclear Culture Source Book" features contributions by over 60 artists including spectacular imagery of nuclear sites taken on artist field trips, from underground research laboratories in Japan to the Faslane Trident base. 00Contextualising this is a series of essays by international arts and humanities scholars and writers including: Timothy Morton writing on radiation as a hyperobject; Peter C van Wyck on the nuclear anthropocene; Noi Sawaragi on Fukushima; and Susan Schuppli on nuclear materiality. 00Published in partnership with Bildmuseet, Sweden and Arts Catalyst, London.

Individuelle et/ou collective, prévisible ou inattendue… la catastrophe est, le plus souvent, appréhendée au prisme de l’apparition d’un désordre, de plus ou moins grande échelle, qui dépasse toute rationalité. Le sujet est alors rattrapé par une émotion intense : un frisson. Parlant de « catastrophe », il pourrait s’agir de questionner la concordance entre ce qui est perçu comme un chaos qui vient mettre à mal un ordre, et le trouble radical qui saisit le sujet, lequel en est l’objet ou le témoin. Dans l’un et l’autre cas, dans la relation entre le sujet et l’événement, la catastrophe pourrait ainsi être appréhendée ou définie comme la fin d’un « monde neutralisé », livrant passage à un « inter-monde ». Se dessinent donc, quand la catastrophe est évoquée, deux paradigmes où, dans l’un, le domestique, le figé, le neutralisé… correspondent à un certain état du monde connu ; quand dans l’autre, l’imprévisible, le mouvant et la plasticité… forment un inter-monde incertain. La catastrophe met ainsi fin à la permanence d’un ordre par le trouble et le dérèglement. Dès lors, peut-être faut-il s’interroger sur les véritables enjeux de la catastrophe et le rapport qui est entretenu au « désordre » qui, d’un concept deleuzien (quand il parle du « chaos-germe » ou d’un « catastrophe-germe »), loin de se limiter aux scénarii hollywoodiens, a peut-être encore à voir avec une disposition renouvelée de la pensée. Ou quand « frissonner » c’est encore penser, notamment en dans les Arts.

Destroying human habitat and taking human lives, disasters, be they natural, man-made, or a combination, threaten large populations, even entire nations and societies. They also disrupt the existing order and cause discontinuity in our sense of self and our perceptions of the world. To restore order, not only must human beings be rescued and affected areas rebuilt, but the reality of the catastrophe must also be transformed into narrative. The essays in this collection examine representations of disaster in literature, film, and mass media in German and international contexts, exploring the nexus between disruption and recovery through narrative from the eighteenth century to the present. Topics include the Lisbon earthquake, the Paris Commune, the Hamburg and Dresden fire-bombings in the Second World War, nuclear disasters in Alexander Kluge's films, the filmic aesthetics of catastrophe, Yoko Tawada's lectures on the Fukushima disaster and Christa Wolf's novel Störfall in light of that same disaster, Joseph Haslinger and the tsunami of 2004, traditions regarding avalanche disaster in the Tyrol, and the problems and implications of defining disaster.
