![]() | Producing Hiroshima and Nagasaki: Literature, Film, and Transnational Politics Subjects: Atomic bomb victims in motion pictures; Atomic bomb victims in literature; Hiroshima mon amour (Motion picture); Duras Marguerite. Hiroshima mon amour; Nagai Takashi 1908–1951. Nagasaki no kane; Hersey John 1914–1993. Hiroshima; Kamei Fumio 1908–19; National, disciplinary, and linguistic boundaries all play a role in academic study and nowhere is this more apparent than in traditional humanities scholarship surrounding the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. How would our understanding of this seminal event change if we read Japanese and Euro-American texts together and across disciplines? In Producing Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Yuko Shibata juxtaposes literary and cinematic texts usually considered separately to highlight the "connected divides" in the production of knowledge on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, shedding new light on both texts and contexts in the process. Yuko Shibata is a research fellow at the International Peace Research Institute at Meiji Gakuin University. |
