Nuclear Gaia : Media Archives Of Planetary Harm

Traces the hidden currents of nuclear history that continue to shape politics and planetary survival using media archives and digital forensics.

Nuclear Gaia: Media Archives of Planetary Harm challenges us to see the planet itself as shaped by nuclear processes—an evolving entity where past accidents, detonations, and military strategies continue to radiate through environmental and social landscapes. Agnieszka Jelewska and Michal Krawczak explore how media archives and open-source investigations transform nuclear memory and create new forms of justice beyond the domain of scientists and politicians.

Bringing together nuclear studies, media theory, and environmental humanities, this book reveals how independent researchers and local communities are reclaiming the narratives of nuclear harm. With fresh case studies and bold conceptual frameworks, Nuclear Gaia sets the stage for a new era of postnuclear studies, where AI, quantum mechanics, and nuclear technology intersect in ways we are only beginning to comprehend.
