(Dis)Empowered Communities: A Conversation with Davide Orsini

Abstract

Anthropologist Davide Orsini and historian Uwe Lübken shed light on nuclear decommissioning in their conversation about Davide’s Volkswagen Foundation Change! project “(Dis)Empowered Communities.” The final “phase in the life cycle of nuclear facilities” not only raises questions about contamination and future use of the sites, as Davide explains, but also shapes the cultural and physical landscapes of local communities.
