Abstract:"This book analyses the social impact and literary works addressing Japan's 3.11 'Triple Disaster' - The Great East Japan earthquake, tsunami, and multiple meltdowns at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. Through an examination of the key works in the expanding corpus of 3.11 literature the book explores the ongoing dimensions of the disaster, demonstrating how it reframed both social reality and discourse, including trauma studies, ecocriticism, regional identity, food safety and civil society. The contributions discuss aspects of these perspectival shifts in the literary world, tracing the reshaping of Japanese identity in the years after the triple disaster. The cultural productions explored offer a glimpse into the public imaginary and demonstrate how disasters can fundamentally reshape our individual and shared conception of both history and the present moment. Contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the post-disaster climate of Japanese society and adding new perspectives through literary analysis, this book will be of interest to scholars and students of Japanese and Asian Studies, Literary Studies, Environmental Humanities, as well as Cultural and Transcultural Studies"--
