Description
Summary:"Radioactive Ghosts hopefully conveys the need to see nuclearism as absolutely central to the debates about the anthropocene or capitalocene. Radioactive contamination is, after all, arguably the most destructive footprint humans have left on the planet. Within this larger framework, my focus on nuclear subjectivities also counters the current neglect of psychopolitics in political as well as ecological debates about nuclearism.
