From the publication:
Art and Nuclear Power The Role of Culture in the Environmental Debate Anna Volkmar Humanity is struggling with the environmental destruction and social change caused by modern technologies like nuclear reactors. Politicians, scientists, and business leaders all too often revert to a tried and tested set of solutions that fails to grasp the wicked nature of the problem. Eschewing the problem-solving approach that dominates the nuclear energy debate, Anna Volkmar suggests that the only intelligent way to account for the inherent complexity of nuclear technology is not by trying to resolve it but to muddle through it. Through in-depth analyses of contemporary visual art, Volkmar demonstrates how art can suggest ways to muddle through these issues intelligently and ethically. This book is recommended for students and scholars of art history, anthropology, social science, ecocriticism, and philosophy. Introduction Chapter 1: Ironic Encounters In Nuclear Landscape Photography Chapter 2: Snapshots from the Zone Chapter 3: The Art to Remain Exposed Chapter 4: How to Care for Nuclear Waste? Conclusion
