A pioneering examination of nuclear trauma, the continuing and new nuclear peril, and the subjectivities they generateAmid resurgent calls for widespread nuclear energy and limited nuclear war, the populations that must live with the consequences of these decisions are increasingly insecure. The nuclear peril combined with the looming threat of climate change means that we are seeing the formation of a new kind of subjectivity: humans who are in a position of perpetual ontological insecurity. In Radioactive Ghosts, Gabriele Schwab articulates a vision of these nuclear subjectivities that we all live with.Focusing on the legacies of the Manhattan Project, Hiroshima, and nuclear energy politics, Radioactive Ghosts takes us on a tour of the littleseen sides of our nuclear world. Examining devastating uranium mining on Native lands, nuclear sacrifice zones, the catastrophic accidents at Chernobyl and Fukushima, and the formation of a new transspecies ethics, Schwab shows how individuals threatened with extinction are creating new adaptations, defenses, and communal spaces. Ranging from personal accounts of experiences with radiation to indepth readings of literature, film, art, and scholarly works, Schwab gives us a complex, idiosyncratic, and personal analysis of one of the most overlooked issues of our time.

Great But Somewhat Confusing
I really appreciated the effort put into this volume, but a few essays left me scratching my head. The topics are complex, and the language can be a bit academic. However, if you're into deep philosophical discussions, you'll find a lot to chew on here.

Not What I Expected!
I honestly thought this would be a more engaging read. While the subject matter is intriguing, I found some of the essays to be quite dry and hard to follow. I was hoping for more practical insights rather than just theoretical musings.

Interesting Concepts, Slow at Times
I enjoyed the themes presented in 'Posthumanities Volume 61', but some sections dragged on a bit too much for me. The writing can be dense, which might not appeal to casual readers. Still, there are some really fascinating ideas discussed!
