Nuclear Terror: The Modern Logic of Radioactive Colonialism | with Svitlana Matviyenko

September 28, 2023 Join Dr. Svitlana Matviyenko, SFU assistant professor of Critical Media Analysis, as she explores recursive colonial operations in Ukrainian Polissia. The production of the Chornobyl Zone of Exclusion preceded the Chornobyl catastrophe by two decades. The lecture will discuss the consistency of recursive colonial operations in Ukrainian Polissia from its industrial subsumption by the Soviet cold-war infrastructure, including the ballistic rocket detection radar Duga-1 and the Chornobyl NPP, until the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation in 2022. This talk was followed by a Q&A discussion moderated by Am Johal, and was presented by SFU’s Vancity Office of Community Engagement, with support from SFU’s School of Communication, SFU’s Institute for the Humanities, and SFU’s School for the Contemporary Arts.
