RHETORIC OF RESILIENCE AND RADIATION IN POST-FUKUSHIMA JAPAN
WINTHER-TAMAKI
FAR-NEAR MAGAZINE VOL 5, P. 174-181.
2024
This is an essay about two very different strains of “resilience” that took place the aftermath of the Fukushima Nuclear disaster. "The Japanese state touted highly idealized narratives of a quixotic struggle and richly resilient futures, but refused to commit to the housing security policies and resource-backed support needed to realize them. Resilience meant something else for the state - it fostered a common-sense understanding of Fukushima soaked in neoliberal bromides, while the resilience of community nurtured informal infrastructures of care."
Far-Near is an artist-run curated cross-cultural book series that "broadens perspectives of Asia through image, person, idea, and history to unlearn the inherent dominative mode."
