Summary/Abstract: Brylska traces the process of coming to terms, culturally and socially, with the Fukushima Daiichi power plant disaster and reflects on how it impacts people’s relationship with the contaminated environment in Japan. She also takes up the challenge of narrating the catastrophe through a landscape in which nature becomes an important carrier of meaning – meaning concerning the event itself and its social and cultural consequences.
