Since the nuclear catastrophe of March 2011, the name "Fukushima" is frequently written in hiragana or katakana syllabary - an hitherto unusual notation, which has so far been in use mostly for Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the two cities hit by atomic bombs in August 1945. "Hiroshima" and "Nagasaki" (symbolizing the atomic bomb genbaku) and "Fukushima" (pointing to nuclear energy genpatsu) mark the temporal horizon of this project. Its aim is to focus on the constitution process of the Japanese postwar society and culture in a new way from the perspective of the atom. It assumes that the discourse on Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Fukushima, which oscillates between the negative and positive aspects of nuclear energy, is a crucial element in the atomic dispositive, which coined the postwar order in Japan and beyond. By reexamining the discursive practices, their various actors, the project aims to uncover their (vertical and horizontal) historical interdependence, rivaling forces at work, and the resulting cracks in the dispositive, which are challenging the established regimes of knowledge now more than ever. Its task is to uncover the sociocultural contexts contributing to the formation and dominance of the atomic dispositive, which became dominant in a certain regime of growth and energy and which is contested more and more today.This task is operationalized in two sub-projects which are interwoven in methods and content, focusing on both dimensions of nuclear energy (genbaku and genpatsu). Both sub-projects will utilize discourse analysis to show how texts and images re-present and articulate the atom, how they include/exclude, homogenize/marginalize. Sub-project 1 on "literary articulations of the atomic" focuses on literary representations of the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. At the same time, it looks for structural similarities between the discursive end-points of the timeframe set for the project, taking into account new media as forceful constituents of identities. Sub-project 2 on "articulations of the nuclear in everyday life and visual language" deals with visual representations/documentaries of peaceful nuclear power (genpatsu), which is distinguished from genbaku analytically in order to uncover the logic of dichotomization at work between these two inseparably interwoven energy forms. It analyzes the mechanisms by which genpatsu has invaded everyday life as "Nukesspeak" to contribute in turn to the formation of the atomic dispositive.

自2011年3月的核灾难以来，“福岛”这个名字经常用平假名或片假名音节来写--这是一种迄今为止不寻常的符号，迄今为止主要用于1945年8月遭受原子弹袭击的两个城市广岛和长崎。“广岛”和“长崎”（象征原子弹genbaku）和“福岛”（指向核能genpatsu）标志着这个项目的时间范围。其目的是从原子的角度以一种新的方式关注日本战后社会文化的构成过程。它假定，关于广岛、长崎和福岛的论述，在核能的消极和积极方面之间摇摆不定，是原子能决定论的一个关键因素，而原子能决定论塑造了战后日本及其他地区的秩序。通过重新审视话语实践及其各种参与者，该项目旨在揭示它们（纵向和横向）的历史相互依存关系，工作中的竞争力量，以及由此产生的处置裂缝，这些裂缝现在比以往任何时候都更具挑战性。它的任务是揭示有助于原子能的形成和主导地位的社会文化背景，原子能在某种增长和能源制度中占据主导地位，今天越来越受到质疑，这项任务在两个分项目中运作，这两个分项目在方法和内容上相互交织，侧重于核能的两个方面（genbaku和genpatsu）。这两个子项目将利用话语分析来展示文本和图像如何再现和表达原子，它们如何包含/排除，同质化/边缘化。关于“原子的文学表达”的分项目1侧重于对投在广岛和长崎的原子弹的文学表达。与此同时，考虑到新媒体作为身份的有力组成部分，它寻找该项目时间框架的话语终点之间的结构相似性。分项目2“日常生活中的核表达和视觉语言”涉及和平核能的视觉表现/纪录片，从分析上将其与玄爆区分开来，以揭示这两种不可分割的能源形式之间的二分法逻辑。它分析了发电作为“核语言”侵入日常生活的机制，从而有助于原子处置的形成。
