Fukushima Aftermath: Artpress Feature on Representing Disaster

The June 2015 issue of Artpress (n°423) includes a feature titled 'Fukushima, la vie après' (pp. 72-75) that examines the challenge of representing the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster. The article contrasts the saturated, chaotic television coverage at the time of the catastrophe with the hesitant, difficult speech that emerged a year later. It explores how to depict this disoriented discourse, described as a 'gaping hole in the horizon.' The piece includes an interview with survivors, focusing on their struggle to articulate the experience. The article is written in French and was published on June 1, 2015.
