[Commlist] New book: Nuclear Gaia: Media Archives of Planetary Harm

Intellect is pleased to share that /Nuclear Gaia: Media Archives of 
Planetary Harm <https://www.intellectbooks.com/nuclear-gaia>/, 
by Agnieszka Jelewska and Michał Krawczak, is out in hardback and e-book!

Describes the transformations we have witnessed due to the development 
of nuclear science and technology, accelerating policies interdependent 
on energy, and military procedures that have led us to make a 
provocative claim that, in many respects, planet Earth is getting closer 
to the embodiment of the project we call Nuclear Gaia. The book examines 
media archives and online platforms that recover data and memory and 
shape community knowledge of nuclear events from the distant and nearer 
past. These are the pieces of evidence that we are on the eve of 
creating new forms of social justice, carried out by open-source 
investigations (OSINT) groups, independent researchers, artists, media 
makers, activists, local communities, and civic groups.

Thus, analysing nuclear processes and their social and environmental 
consequences is no longer the exclusive domain of experts, scientists, 
politicians, and the military. The authors hope that such communities’ 
practices and decolonial discourses, combined with the critiques within 
our methodology as post-nuclear media studies, can also change the fate 
of nuclear industry victims by creating media space to discuss and 
regain justice as socially sanctioned and shared rules for understanding 
and using nuclear energy both in past and the future.
