| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to rework the literary framework of American nuclear literature into a wider and more diverse one, I examined Native (and non-Native) American literature dealing with concerns about atomic weapons and nuclear matters from postcolonial and ecocritical perspectives. Specifically, I analyzed the representation of nuclearism in America during the Cold War period through the works of Leslie Marmon Silko and Marilou Awiakta; issues of “censorship” in a non-fiction text by Peter Matthiessen; and representation of nuclear history in the music of Buffy Sainte-Marie. I also started to examine the representation of hibakusha bodies in works by Juliet Kono and Joy Kogawa and the depiction of the atomic bombs in short stories by Langston Hughes.
