Costello Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature University of California, Irvine, 2014 Professor Jane O. Newman, Chair The German-Jewish philosopher and anti-nuclear activist Günther Anders (1902-1992) had an extremely long and prolific career as a public intellectual. Foremost among his concerns was understanding the implications of the nuclear age. Though he was immersed in a vibrant and influential circle of 20th-century intellectuals including Hannah Arendt and Theodore Adorno, he is little known in the English-speaking world. Previous work in English has surveyed and situated Anders in his philosophical milieu and undertaken investigations of his arc as a post- Marxist critic of technology; more broadly, Anders is generally viewed as an anti-nuclear theoretician. This dissertation views Anders first and foremost as an organizer and activist, one who pursued writerly attempts to grapple with a movement mobilization problem across three eras of anti-nuclear protest. I argue that Anders’ philosophy is best viewed as a series of imaginative interventions intended to enable people to undertake resistance within the confines of the nuclear security state. I approach the argument in four chapters. In the first, I show how viii Anders reacted to crises of competence and authority by recruiting a network of prestigious scientific correspondents. The second chapter examines his epistolary exchange with the former bomber pilot Claude Eatherly in order to see how the philosopher attempted to frame and deploy Eatherly as a moral exemplar and unifying activist symbol. The third examines the tensions between Anders’ exacting literary standards and the global demands of translation for a multilingual, international activist audience. The final chapter follows Anders to the limits of writerly language and analyzes the philosopher’s eventual endorsement of violence. Ultimately, I show that Anders’ concrete, occasional methods for philosophy were overwhelmed by his inability to maintain contact with rapidly fragmenting, highly changeable arrays of affiliation and identification within the activist milieus of the late Cold War. ix INTRODUCTION I. A Writerly Life a. Beginnings This dissertation examines the life and work of philosopher and anti-nuclear activist Günther Anders (1902-1992). Born in Breslau to the name Günther Stern, he was the German- Jewish son of Clara and William Stern, both influential pioneers in the science of child psychology. Anders’ work as a philosopher, activist, and writer opened new avenues of investigation for understanding humanity in the technological age and was foundational to anti- nuclear and pacifist campaigns throughout Europe. My research endeavors to understand how Anders translated his philosophical stance on technology into praxis by examining how he positioned himself as an advocate of a combative anti-nuclear narrative, how he advanced his narrative through multiple genres, and how his narrative was received by his intellectual and activist fellow-travelers. Much of the scholarly writing on Anders focuses on his intellectual and philosophical contributions. I consider him foremost as an activist, one whose writings were intended to facilitate his efforts to participate in the construction of the narratives—imaginative interventions—which make up our collective understanding of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as well as the meanings assigned to those bombings by politicians, activists, and citizens in a European cold-war context. Using Anders as a central case study, this dissertation examines the relationships between literature, activism, and discursive structures. It is a genealogy, one that traces the growth of Anders’ thinking as a transnational, multilingual anti-nuclear activist and which situates him in 1 his historical era—the atomic era. My work furthers English-language scholarship on Anders, which at present is relatively limited, constituted of Paul van DiJk’s critical overview of Anders’ life and work, and Jason Dawsey’s recent historical inquiry. As its central goal, this dissertation sheds light on the ways politicians and activist groups employ the threat of nuclear weapons as discursive arguments, as well as how those arguments are received by the public. This topic is significant because it bears strongly on present attitudes towards emergent nuclear

Email: [email protected] ate the self. This essay argues that something more radical is happening here than simply attempts to move tests from Funding information H2020 European Research Council, the laboratory into social settings. The challenge that a new Grant/Award Number: 695256 sociology of testing must address is that ubiquitous testing changes the relations between science, engineering, and soci- ology: Engineering is today in the very stuff of where society happens. It is not that the tests of 21st-century engineering occur within a social context but that it is the very fabric of the social that is being put to the test. To understand how testing and the social relate today, we must investigate how testing operates on social life, through the modification of its settings. One way to clarify the difference is to say that the new forms of testing can be captured neither within the logic of the field test nor of the controlled experiment. Whereas tests once happened inside social environments, today’s tests directly and deliberately modify the social environment.

  • Exile and Holocaust Literature in German and Austrian Post-War Culture
    Religions 2012, 3, 424–440; doi:10.3390/rel3020424 OPEN ACCESS religions ISSN 2077-1444 www.mdpi.com/journal/religions Article Haunted Encounters: Exile and Holocaust Literature in German and Austrian Post-war Culture Birgit Lang School of Languages and Linguistics, The University of Melbourne, Parkville 3010 VIC, Australia; E-Mail: [email protected] Received: 2 May 2012; in revised form: 11 May 2012 / Accepted: 12 May 2012 / Published: 14 May 2012 Abstract: In an essay titled ‗The Exiled Tongue‘ (2002), Nobel Prize winner Imre Kertész develops a genealogy of Holocaust and émigré writing, in which the German language plays an important, albeit contradictory, role. While the German language signified intellectual independence and freedom of self-definition (against one‘s roots) for Kertész before the Holocaust, he notes (based on his engagement with fellow writer Jean Améry) that writing in German created severe difficulties in the post-war era. Using the examples of Hilde Spiel and Friedrich Torberg, this article explores this notion and asks how the loss of language experienced by Holocaust survivors impacted on these two Austrian-Jewish writers. The article argues that, while the works of Spiel and Torberg are haunted by the Shoah, the two writers do not write in the post-Auschwitz language that Kertész delineates in his essays, but are instead shaped by the exile experience of both writers. At the same time though, Kertész‘ concept seems to be haunted by exile, as his reception of Jean Améry‘s works, which form the basis of his linguistic genealogies, shows an inability to integrate the experience of exile.

  • No Nukes Study You Don't Need to Be a Nuclear Physicist to Understand
    No Nukes Study You don’t need to be a nuclear physicist to understand that nuclear weapons and nuclear power are both bad for our species and bad for the planet. It’s not exactly rocket science to understand our need to move away from both nuclear energy and fossil fuels and toward a safe, sustainable, and democratic energy system based on solar, wind, and other renewable resources. However, given the powerful economic interests, often called the “Merchants of Death,” which profit from United States nuclear weapons and the rest of the U.S. war machine and which exert an undue and undemocratic influence on U.S. policy through making us accept the nuclear/fossil fuel complex, it is wise to arm oneself with a better understanding of nuclear and sustainable energy issues. The literature is vast, both published and on the web. Here is a listing of some of the most important internet resources, most of which have additional links. Atomic Archive. This site explores the complex history surrounding the invention of the atomic bomb. Includes a good section on the history of the Cold War. http://www.atomicarchive.com/index.shtml Fiat Pax is a project to provide information to university students, faculty, and the public regarding the militarization of science and the university, focusing on the University of California and its ties to the military enterprise, but also examples of the larger military- industrial-academic complex. http://www.fiatpax.net/index.html Greenpece International. http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/campaigns/nuclear/ Mothers for Peace, in San Luis Obispo, is a non-profit organization concerned with the local dangers involving the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, and with the dangers of nuclear power, weapons and waste on national and global levels.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1 “Beyond Anxiety,” editorial, New York Times, June 13, 1982, E22. 2 For the purposes of simplicity, this book refers to the assemblage of actors engaged in various types of activism against nuclear power, nuclear weapons, and other related threats as the “anti-nuclear movement.” Although I detail individual movements within the larger whole, the existence of substantial cross-pollination among movement organizations and coalitions indicates that a more appropriate term is the singular. On the idea of a “movement of movements,” see Van Gosse, “A Movement of Movements: The Definition and Periodization of the New Left,” in A Companion to Post-1945 America, ed. Jean-Christophe Agnew and Roy Rosenzweig (Malden, MA: Blackwell, 2002), 277–302. 3 On this diversity, see Jo Freeman and Victoria Johnson, eds, Waves of Protest: Social Movements Since the Sixties (Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield, 1999). See also Simon Hall, American Patriotism, American Protest: Social Movements Since the Sixties (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2011). 4 See Fred Halliday, The Making of the Second Cold War (London: Verso, 1983). 5 On beginnings, see Lawrence S. Wittner, Toward Nuclear Abolition: A His- tory of the World Nuclear Disarmament Movement, 1971 to the Present (Stan- ford: Stanford University Press, 2003), Chapter 1. On the dwindling of the movement, see “Movement Gap,” editorial, Nation, 4 November 1991, 539–40. 6 The phrase “the challenge of peace” recalls the controversial pastoral letter issued in 1983 by the US National Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Ad Hoc Committee on War and Peace. Entitled “The Challenge of Peace: God’s Prom- ise and Our Response,” the letter attempted to define the Catholic Church’s opposition to the nuclear arms race.

Schmid Barbara L. Allen Rebecca J. Hester David C.

Tontodonato ABSTRACT The model used as the basis for regulation of human radiation exposures in the United States has been a source of controversy for decades because human health consequences have not been determined with statistically meaningful certainty for the dose levels allowed for radiation workers and the general public. This dissertation evaluates the evolution of the science and regulation of radiation health effects in the United States since the early 1900s using actor-network theory and the concept of co- production of science and social order. This approach elucidated the ordering instruments that operated at the nexus of the social and the natural in making institutions, identities, discourses, and representations, and the sociotechnical imaginaries animating the use of those instruments, that culminated in a regulatory system centered on the linear no-threshold dose-response model and the As Low As Reasonably Achievable philosophy. The science of radiation health effects evolved in parallel with the development of radiation-related technologies and the associated regulatory system.

    Power From the Valley: Nuclear and Coal in the Postwar U.S. Dissertation Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Megan Lenore Chew, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Steven Conn, Advisor Randolph Roth David Steigerwald Copyright by Megan Lenore Chew 2014 Abstract In the years after World War II, small towns, villages, and cities in the Ohio River Valley region of Ohio and Indiana experienced a high level of industrialization not seen since the region’s commercial peak in the mid-19th century. The development of industries related to nuclear and coal technologies—including nuclear energy, uranium enrichment, and coal-fired energy—changed the social and physical environments of the Ohio Valley at the time. This industrial growth was part of a movement to decentralize industry from major cities after World War II, involved the efforts of private corporations to sell “free enterprise” in the 1950s, was in some cases related to U.S. national defense in the Cold War, and brought some of the largest industrial complexes in the U.S. to sparsely populated places in the Ohio Valley. In these small cities and villages— including Madison, Indiana, Cheshire, Ohio, Piketon, Ohio, and Waverly, Ohio—the changes brought by nuclear and coal meant modern, enormous industry was taking the place of farms and cornfields. These places had been left behind by the growth seen in major metropolitan areas, and they saw the potential for economic growth in these power plants and related industries.

  • Polis to Metropolis: Reconfiguring Fin-De-Siècle Vienna Position Paper for the Conference on Vienna 1900, October 2016, New Orleans Modernity Panel
    Polis to Metropolis: Reconfiguring Fin-de-siècle Vienna Position paper for the Conference on Vienna 1900, October 2016, New Orleans Modernity Panel It is significant that fin-de-siècle Vienna has become the first theme for the Haus der Geschichte Österreich. It offers a way for Austria to declare itself European, an agent of universal modernity, and yet remain Austrian. As Viennese modernity was shaped in confrontation with the rising destructive forces of nationalism and antisemitism, the Haus der Geschichte Österreich gets an opportunity to acknowledge the less savory chapters of twentieth- century Austrian history, while remaining on the side of the good guys – the modernists who have become icons of Western culture. Fin-de-siècle Vienna also provides an unproblematic bridge to imperial Austria beyond two republics, foundation of which marked the collapse of empires, the first pluralist and federalist, the Habsburg Monarchy, the second racial, the Third Reich. Austrians, who live among the vestiges of the imperial past, artists, intellectuals and tour guides, find fin-de-siècle Vienna speaking to their contemporary concerns. Yet, fin-de-siècle Viennese modernism provides too thin, fragile and discontinuous ligatures to the Austrian past, and the Haus der Geschichte Österreich can return to it only in a more capacious form. Schorske’s Vienna represented a narrow elite project, the liberal sons’ response to the fathers’ popular failure. Over the last three decades, scholars have narrowed down even further its reach, pointing, for example, to its predominantly Jewish character. Schorske’s Vienna overlooked the city’s imperial role: The capital appeared not as a cultural metropolis, a center of imperial cultural networks, but as an autonomous polis.
