“…Developing a similar line of thought, research within atomic heritage has recently contributed ways to apprehend the nuclear as a contested techno-political process of categorisation (Ialenti 2022; Rindzevičiūtė, 2019; Storm et al 2019). One implication of this focus on the techno-political has been renewed attention to the political effects of radioactive things – especially in relation to nuclear colonialism.…”

“…First, a number of scholars have highlighted the role of landscape in the production and stabilisation of memory (Holdsworth 2022;Legg 2007;Maus 2015;McEwen et al 2017;Storm 2021). For example, emphasis has been placed on the relationship between landscape and collective memory of identity belonging to territory and nationality (Paasi 2020;Tolia-Kelly 2016;Wylie 2007).…”

“…Over the course of the past four decades or so, the problem of how to communicate memory of nuclear things has been a source of intrigue in the social sciences. Engagements with nuclear semiotics (Sebeok 1984), atomic heritage (Storm, Andersson and Rindzevičiūtė 2019), nuclear waste futures (Joyce 2020), nuclear art (Volkmar 2022) and cultures (Carpenter 2016), future consciousness (Högberg et al 2017), toxic waste studies (Kaur 2021), memory studies (Freeman 2016), nuclear landscapes (Pitkanen and Farish 2018), and decolonial approaches to nuclearity (Hecht 2014) directly and indirectly approach the problem of how to think the enduring materialities of nuclear things into the future given the danger these materials can pose to organic life over thousands of years. Part of the reason for this intrigue, perhaps, is the sense that the imperceptible qualities of nuclear materials might offer fresh perspectives on environmental problems (Bickerstaff 2022; Klaubert 2021) – especially through deep time perspectives (Bjornerud 2018; Gordon 2021; Ialenti 2020), speculative forms of experience (Engelmann 2022; Keating 2022 a ), and alternative ontologies of environmental envelopment (Morton 2013; Povinelli 2021).…”

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.

“…As Harrison (2021) previously suggested, such legacies may endure longer than traditional or conventional forms of heritage, emphasizing the critical importance of responsible care, particularly for communities in close proximity to these materials, especially when they remain toxic and radioactive for centuries and even millennia. This reflection inevitably encourages us to reevaluate the very essence of heritage, underscoring that healing processes are anything but "linear, predetermined and unproblematic" (Storm, 2021).…”

Heritage and waste in the Anthropocene: A museum perspective on environmental and social complexities

The relationship between heritage and waste in the context of the Anthropocene has always been intricate. Historically, heritage and waste were viewed as opposing concepts, but in the Anthropocene, they are inextricably linked and interwoven, resulting in the creation of in situ and ex situ productions that leave deep imprints on their territories. How we deal with these landscapes of waste, or wastescapes, as a form of modern heritage is increasingly a concern for museums, which have a potentially pivotal role in addressing the phenomenon of global waste and educating the public about responsible consumption. The review of diverse exhibitions and artworks explores the cultural and social dimensions of waste, considering it as a form of modern heritage derived from and shaped by human activities that have become a planetary phenomenon in the twenty‐first century. It also unveils the connections between economic power, waste management, and environmental impact. In conclusion, current museum practice responds to a reevaluation of what is considered material culture, understanding it as testimonies of the present, with the aim of highlighting the role of museums as platforms for critically examining complex issues related to waste, enabling diverse ways of addressing the environmental and social injustices associated with waste management.

This paper explores mine waste that originates from resource extraction by specifically focusing on waste rock, tailings, dust and material culture from the resource extraction industry. By drawing on examples from fieldwork, archives, local media commentary and limited interviews from two iron-mining regions in Arctic Norway and sub-Arctic Canada, this paper follows mine waste as it routinely transgresses attempts to be managed. Mine waste spills out of its prescribed sinks, it oscillates between being considered waste to heritage to potentially valuable commodity, and it blurs the boundaries between spaces dedicated for mining and for non-mining. In following these trends, the paper calls for attentiveness to the ambiguous materiality of mine waste and how heterogeneity and excess circumscribe attempts at easy characterisation and management of the ubiquitous wastes that come to dominate mining regions. As such, archaeological approaches to studying mine waste can illustrate how mine waste becomes the default, lived-with condition of life in regions dominated by ongoing mining operations.
