Institution:

University of Chicago

Subject:

Description:

Knowledge of Japanese not required. This course considers the history of Hiroshima and Nagasaki through literature, film, photo essays, and nonfiction writing. We grapple with the shifting understanding of the bomb and continued nuclear testing, both within and without Japan, during the Cold War and to the present. We also study what many consider the current and ongoing form of nuclear war in the widespread deployment of depleted uranium in war zones and military bases. We compare nuclear bombing with other forms of bombing, on the one hand, and with its putative peaceful use as a source of energy. N. Field. Spring.
