Abstract
ABSTRACTThe exclusion zone in Fukushima has become an object of intense interest for scientists and politicians where the rebound of wildlife is taken to be compelling evidence of nature’s resilience in the face of nuclear disasters. By taking up a range of cinematic works on re-wilding, this paper explores how ecological futures are reimagined through human and non-human interactions. It seeks to understand re-wilding as attempts to remake “life” by securing the future of the individual animal, the species it represents and the wider human ecology it helps to sustain. It will also explore how eco-media may redirect our attention to the participation of nonhumans in the making of nature, one that generates a certain dissonance in which the best interest of different forms of “life” may not always align.
