This collection examines the event of Fukushima in Japan in terms
of urban sociology and cultural politics to portray the triple
catastrophe of March 2011 as both a planetary event and a dual
economic and environmental crisis which indelibly marked Japan and
the wider global community. The contributors examine how this new
situation has been expressed in particular cultural forms
(literature, film), political discourses and urban everyday life in
Tokyo and Fukushima, arguing for an imperative need to redefine the
national frame of analysis in terms of the concept of the
planetary. Building on recent debates in ecocriticism, Planetary
Atmospheres and Urban Life After Fukushima deconstructs the spatial
logic of containment that reduces the event of Fukushima to a
place-bound object to instead reinscribe this event within an open
narrative of the planetary. This we believe will allow us to
redefine our topologies of attachment to local places beside
national discourses of unity, resilience and global strategies of
risk management, and open the way to a radical rethink of Japan's
cultural politics of Japan after March 2011.
