Huit à neuf millions de personnes vivent, et vivront longtemps encore, dans les territoires contaminés d'Ukraine, de Russie et de Biélorussie. Cette catastrophe nucléaire majeure, le plus grand “accident” industriel dans l'histoire de l'humanité, a produit peu d'expression artistique, à l'exception notable de La Supplication de Svetlana Alexievitch, et ses héros, les liquidateurs, sont restés anonymes, oubliés. Mais cet événement n'a pas disparu pour autant de la mémoire ni du quotidien des populations dont il a littéralement changé le monde. Comment, près de 20 ans plus tard, repenser la tragédie dont les conséquences furent dès le début occultées et minimisées, sur place et en Occident ? Cet ouvrage réédité et actualisé, augmenté de nouvelles contributions, de photographies et de témoignages inédits de près d'une vingtaine d'auteurs – dont beaucoup sont également, à leur manière, des acteurs, des militants ou des témoins – tente de prendre le sens et la mesure de la catastrophe. Théorie nouvelle de l'accident,interview de l'ex-numéro un soviétique Mikhaïl Gorbatchev, réflexion sur la gestion du risque et la réhabilitation des conditions de vie, mise au point sur les conséquences sanitaires françaises, émergence d'une expertise et d'une mobilisation citoyennes constituent autant de manières d'interroger le devenir de Tchernobyl et, par conséquent, celui de l'humanité à l'Âge atomique.

We entrust readers with thirty fragments of reflections, meditations, recollections, and images — one for each year that has passed since the explosion that rocked and destroyed a part of the Chernobyl nuclear power station in April 1986. The aesthetic visions, thoughts, and experiences that have made their way into this book hover in a grey region between the singular and self-enclosed, on the one hand, and the generally applicable and universal, on the other. Through words and images, we wish to contribute our humble share to a collaborative grappling with the event of Chernobyl. Unthinkable and unrepresentable as it is, we insist on the need to reflect upon, signify, and symbolize it, taking stock of the consciousness it fragmented and, perhaps, cultivating another, more environmentally attuned way of living.

This book is about nuclear legacies in Russia and Central Asia, focusing on selected sites of the Soviet atomic program, many of which have remained understudied. Nuclear operations, for energy or military purposes, demanded a vast infrastructure of production and supply chains that have transformed entire regions. In following the material traces of the atomic programs, contributors pay particular attention to memory practices and memorialization concerning nuclear legacies. Tracing the Atom foregrounds historical and contemporary engagements with nuclear politics: how have institutions and governments responded to the legacies of the atomic era? How do communities and artists articulate concerns over radioactive matters? What was the role of radiation expertise in a broader Soviet and international context of the Cold War? Examining nuclear legacies together with past atomic futures and post-Soviet memorialization and nuclear heritage shines light on how modes of knowing intersect with livelihoods, compensation policies, and historiography. Bringing together a range of disciplines - history, science and technology studies, social anthropology, literary studies, and art history - this volume offers insights that broaden our understanding of twentieth-century atomic programs and their long aftermaths.

"The principal idea behind this volume is to present, in a brief and systematic form, the results from researchers who observed and documented the consequences of the Chernobyl catastrophe. In our view, the need for such an analysis became especially important after September 2005 when the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) presented and widely advertised "The Chernobyl Forum" report [IAEA (2006), The Chernobyl Legacy: Health, Environment and Socio-Economic Impact and Recommendation to the Governments of Belarus, the Russian Federation and Ukraine 2nd Rev. Ed. (IAEA, Vienna): 50 pp.] because it lacked sufficiently detailed facts concerning the consequences of the disaster"--P. x.
