Description
In this continuously globalized world with its vulnerability in the event of deployment of nuclear weapons in conflicts, testing of nuclear device appears to have assumed a redefined aim far beyond the traditional conceptualization. This new function can be seen in the context of recent nuclear device tests by Democratic People Republic of Korea (DPRK). Nuclear device test scholarship has been a major source of critique, theoretical intervention and analytical insight for disciplinary and trans-disciplinary knowledge. These accomplishments have relied on activist research. The paper proposes to explore knowledge production and dissemination/awareness initiatives of transnational/national research institutes, the media, civil society with respect to nuclear device test as well as diverse ‘global’ perceptions of such crises internationally. Central is the question of how “testers” view their respective publics and in turn how such public’s view and make sense and consume what is conveyed to them through nuclear testing.
