Considering the cultural specificity of post-3.11 literature, poetry, theater, and film, while also attending to moments of crossing, hybridity, and transference, \u003cem\u003eNuclear Futures in the Post-Fukushima Age \u003c\/em\u003eoffers a critical model for examining the intertwining of transnational connection and ecological contamination in a global present marked by  renewed nuclear threat. Bringing together incisive readings by eminent scholars of Germany and Japan as well as a newly translated work by Y ko Tawada, the volume offers a comparative humanities approach that is essential for reframing debates about environmental crisis and nuclear risk.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction.-Nuclear Futures: Intertwined Histories and Imaginative Visions in Post-Fukushima Japan and Germany.-\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eHester Baer and Michele M.
