| 内容記述 | In the mid-1950s, Hiroshima University School of Medicine proposed to establish a joint hospital for hibakusha—survivors of the atomic bombing—with the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission (ABCC) in Hiroshima. This article examines the complex dynamics between the two organizations, challenging the dominant narrative of ABCC as a powerful, isolated entity in Japan. Facing financial struggles, the school’s dean Kawaishi Kunio applied for a grant from the US Foreign Operations Administration (FOA) and asked ABCC for assistance. Soon the plan was entangled with the US nuclear diplomacy toward Asia and expanded to include a US-donated medical reactor. In the end, a reactor as well as the “joint” part of the hospital were abandoned, and instead 108 million yen was donated to each hospital of Hiroshima and Nagasaki universities. This article explores the asymmetrical power relationship between the Japanese and American actors, revealing multilayered “erasure.” During negotiations, local Japanese actors focused on “peaceful uses of atomic energy” to maintain their fragile relationship at an optimum state, sidelining and erasing contentious issues related to harmful effects of radiation and hibakusha’s experiences. Later historical narratives erased local experts’ efforts to collaborate with ABCC, especially their promotion of “peaceful uses of atomic energy,” reinforcing the antagonistic narrative about ABCC. Uncovering these buried layers is crucial to fully understand how our knowledge about radiation has been produced and shaped in the bombed city of Hiroshima. | |||||||
