Problem
Read the article about Ursula LeGuin and Ryo Morimoto's excerpt on Nuclear Ghosts on Perusall.
This is the first unit that will start merging ethnography and science fiction.
In the Introduction of Morimoto's Nuclear Ghosts, the author made several interesting arguments about how he decided to approach the field.
Choose a specific discussion of how the author established rapport, negotiated a crisis or difficult situation, or was granted insider status in Chapter 1 and paste it here.
I. How does this episode (or episodes) that you chose above illustrate the process of Morimoto being able to feel and think as a member of Minamiso¯ma? Be sure to cite the page number
II. Now choose another passage from the introduction in which the author discusses his approach to studying radiation as a topic and paste it here. Cite the page number.
What is the author's main "how" question (the main research question) in regards to radiation?
III. Now choose a passage from Chapter 1 "Naming the Nuclear Ghosts."
Read some of the ethnographic scenes closely.
1. How are informants' voices in Chapter 1 represented? (For example is the author quoting them extensively? Or paraphrasing their thoughts?) Be sure to give a very specific example (describe what is happening) and cite the page number.
IV. Choose another passage from Chapter 1 and discuss how Morimoto is really trying to help the audience (of most likely non-Japanese people and people who don't live in toxic sites) understand what it's like to live in the aftermath of disaste
a. Give a very specific example of how he does this and be sure to cite the page number from Perusall (I do look at them to see what you're trying to explain)
V. Consider Morimoto's chapter title: "Naming the Nuclear Ghosts." Give a strong explanation of why you think he named this chapter this and paste a strong example from the reading that helped you come to this conclusion.
