Willkommen auf der Seite der "Textinitiative Fukushima"
Die Seiten der Textinitiative Fukushima werden derzeit von der Japanologie der Goethe-Universität betrieben. Gegenwärtiges Anliegen von TIF ist die zeitgeschichtliche Dokumentation. Das Forum dient nun in erster Linie als Archiv für Informationen zu 3/11 sowie allgemein zur Geschichte des Atomaren. Die Suchfunktion ermöglicht Recherchen zu Stichworten, Inhalten und Akteuren.
| Relektüre eines zeitgeschichtlichen Dokuments: Das "Russell-Einstein-Manifest"(1955) | 17.04.2022 |
Das Manifest, das elf Wissenschaftler, darunter Yukawa Hideki, unterzeichnet haben, ist wieder sehr aktuell. "Das „Russell-Einstein-Manifest“ ging zurück auf ein Gespräch zwischen Bertrand Russell und Albert Einstein, der im April 1955 verstorben war und seine Unterschrift in den letzten Tagen seines Lebens gegeben hatte. Der konkrete zeitliche Bezug auf dem Höhepunkt des Kalten Kriegs zwischen den westlichen und den östlichen Bündnissystemen waren die vom Februar bis zum Mai 1954 von den USA vorgenommenen fünf Wasserstoffbombenversuche auf dem Bikini-Atoll, die große Gebiete verstrahlt hatten. Radioaktiver Niederschlag wurde in seiner zerstörerischen Wirkung nach den Bravo-Tests im Zuge der Atombombentestserie "Castle" auf den Marshallinseln und nach der damit bewirkten Verseuchung der Inselbewohner und der Besatzung eines japanischen Fischerboots zu einem weltweit diskutierten Thema". "Das Manifest traf u. a. die folgenden Feststellungen:

| Konferenz Silent Springs Global Histories of Pesticides and Our Toxic Worlds 16.10.-19.10.2022 | 14.04.2022 |
"How can scholars in environmental history and the environmental humanities tell the stories of post-Carson forms of “toxic colonialism” as they happened both in the Global South and behind the Iron Curtain? How have new generations of pesticides and new actors in the global trade and governance of toxicants, such as China, contributed novel challenges and solutions to human health and the environment? What role have agrochemical companies played in the dilution of regulations? What mechanisms in the production of knowledge have helped to spread doubt about the long-term impacts of their products on human bodies and the global web of life? To what extent has this renewed geographical, social, gender, racial, and generational asymmetries in the “contamination of the Earth”?" The conference will address some of the above queries and explore issues arising from the following larger, and overlapping, thematic fields: We welcome proposals with a historical approach but also from diverse disciplines such as environmental studies, anthropology, political science, and others. Collaborative projects and proposals with alternative writing formats are also welcome. Please send a proposal of no more than 500 words and a one-page CV to: conferences@carsoncenter.lmu.de. The deadline for submissions is 15 May 2022. Participants will be notified of acceptance as soon as possible. Link: https://www.hsozkult.de/event/id/event-116176 |

| CfP Konferenz "Ecologies of Decay: Modern Ruination in the Global (Post-) Socialist Peripheries" Juni 2022) | 11.04.2022 |
Organizer: School of Slavonic and East European Studies (SSEES) How was the socialist modernity and its ideology materialised in the global rural and urban territories? What are the social and political transformations that have occurred in the post-socialist villages and towns after socialist projects? Reflecting on the above question this conference will bring together practitioners, activists, artists, architects, community organisers, and researchers from all disciplines who work with any aspects of modern ruination and rural/urban decline. https://www.connections.clio-online.net/event/id/event-117140 |

| Atomopfer global - neue Studie | 04.04.2022 |
"In the fall of 1961, President Kennedy somberly warned Americans about deadly radioactive fallout clouds extending hundreds of miles from H‑bomb detonations, yet he approved ninety‑six US nuclear weapon tests for 1962. Cold War nuclear testing, production, and disasters like Chernobyl and Fukushima have exposed millions to dangerous radioactive particles; these millions are the global hibakusha. Many communities continue to be plagued with dire legacies and ongoing risks: sickness and early mortality, forced displacement, uncertainty and anxiety, dislocation from ancestors and traditional lifestyles, and contamination of food sources and ecosystems. Nuclear Bodies weaves these seemingly distinct legacies into a comprehensive global history, examining the colonialism(s) with which nuclear weapon states "select the irradiated," the political use of medical models to render their harm invisible, and the millennia-long legacies of our embrace of nuclear technologies".
