Summary

1. "Radioactive Ghosts hopefully conveys the need to see nuclearism as absolutely central to the debates about the anthropocene or capitalocene. Radioactive contamination is, after all, arguably the most destructive footprint humans have left on the planet. Within this larger framework, my focus on nuclear subjectivities also counters the current neglect of psychopolitics in political as well as ecological debates about nuclearism. Radioactive Ghosts presents steps toward a first comprehensive psychological theory of nuclear subjectivities with the hope to inspire further work in this direction."--
2. "A pioneering examination of nuclear trauma, the continuing and new nuclear peril, and the subjectivities they generate"--
