| Title | 'Nuclear' Citizens and the State: Trauma and National Identity after Hiroshima and Chernobyl |
| Summary | The research looks at how Hiroshima and Chernobyl traumatic events have become elements of national identity projects in Japan and Belarus. The study aims to show how the national narratives of traumatic events have changed over time: in Japan – since 1945, and in Belarus – since 1986. The research argues that the two catastrophes, one being a military attack, and the other – an accident, are used by their states to construct national narratives on the basis of economic factors. |
