“…As Joyce (2020, 231) notes, rather than “suggesting how we can convey a perfect message from our present/ past to a future/present” what is instead needed are different sensibilities that allow “a way to imagine a future of contending common senses”. In this paper, we develop how geographers might contribute to this sensibility as something involving the production of alternative modes of expression that do not map onto common sense derived from contemporary anthropocentric and Western regimes of meaning-making and knowledge production (Burdon 2022; Povinelli 2021) – alternatives that would be capable of countering a recent tendency to conceptualise post-human futures using contemporary values inherent to a Western human ‘us’ (Weisman 2008; Zalasiewicz 2009).…”

This article assays geographical research into nuclear cultures, and cognate conversations in atomic heritage, toxic waste studies, and memory and landscape studies, as one way to develop the notion of nuclear memory. In doing so, we survey how geographers and social scientists have sought to think and communicate memory of nuclear things through three specific modes: the archival, the aesthetic, and the speculative. Our central argument is that nuclear memory provides a theoretical orientation for geographers to engage with alternative possibilities for thinking nuclear waste futures besides anthropocentric notions of common sense.
