La ricostruzione di una voce : Hiroshima e Nagasaki nella letteratura giapponese

The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have been the subject of many works of literature in Japan. Despite the considerable amount of prose and poetry, and the pivotal quality of the two events in Japanese history, literature dealing with the atomic bomb has been considered a minor production on the literary scene after the end of the Second World War. Specifically, it has been neglected on various negative assumptions: lack of literacy, political ambiguity, pre-war nostalgia, and so on. Through the analysis of the works of three authors, Ota Yoko, Inoue Mitsuharu and Oba Minako, we will demonstrate that the works of literature that are part of the body of works concerning the atomic bombings on the two Japanese cities, are actually very complex and feature unique meditations on the meaning of the events, at many levels (historical, social, ethical).
