- Zusatztext
- The four essays of the volume Literature and Art after "Fukushima" focus on the question as to what extent the three-fold catastrophy of Fukushima may be considered a turning point also for the Japanese literature and art scene, how those unprecedented events have been received so far, and what positions were taken up by Japanese authors, theater directors, and performance artists in their works and productions following 3/11.
