Resumo: | The present article aims to analyze the nuclear disaster of Chernobyl, occurred in 1986 in Belarus. Its objective is to understand how the effects of radiation transformed Chernobyl and its surroundings in “contaminated zones”, what suggests a traumatized perception of space. To this end, a debate of the area of psychology about trauma was incorporated, especially from the view of a traumatic language and a traumatic temporality. In this sense, the effects of the radionuclides in the environment, which often make “life” and “death” confuse with each other in the silent and radioactive war, corroborate the interpretation that, in natural and physical terms, the nuclear disaster is an example of how human beings, in the present time, act as central agents of environmental change. Thus, Hannah Arendt’s analyzes of the technical advances of the Atomic Revolution and the conquest of space were used. Along those lines, through the debates about the actual epoche known as Anthropocene, the nuclear disaster demonstrates the technical capacity of ambiental implosion – or the selfdestruction of our own planet – by humanity. For the understanding of the relationship between witnesses and the radioactive space, an interpretation of the event from the lenses of the book Voices from Chernobyl, of the belarusian writer Svetlana Aleksievitch, in dialogue with scientific studies in the quimical and radiological areas. |

O presente artigo pretende analisar o desastre nuclear de Tchérnobil, ocorrido em 1986 entre a fronteira da Ucrânia e da Bielorrússia. Seu objetivo é compreender como os efeitos da radiação transformaram Tchérnobil e seus arredores em “zonas contaminadas”, o que sugere uma espacialidade traumatizada. Para tanto, se recorreu a uma discussão, da área de psicologia, a respeito do trauma, sobretudo a partir de uma temporalidade e de uma linguagem traumática. Dessa forma, os efeitos dos radionuclídeos no ambiente, que por vezes fazem “a vida” e “a morte” se confundirem na silenciosa guerra radioativa, corroboram a interpretação de que, em termos naturais e físicos, o desastre nuclear é um exemplo de como o ser humano atualmente atua como agente central de modificação ambiental. Assim, recorreu-se às análises de Hannah Arendt a respeito dos avanços técnicos da Revolução Atômica e a conquista do espaço. Nesse sentido à luz dos debates do Antropoceno, o desastre nuclear demonstra a capacidade técnica de destruição ambiental –ou de autodestruição do nosso planeta – pela humanidade. Para um entendimento sobre a relação das testemunhas com o espaço contaminado, propõe-se uma leitura do acontecimento a partir do livro Vozes de Tchérnobil, da escritora bielorrussa Svetlana Aleksiévitch, em diálogo com os estudos científicos das áreas radiológica e química.Editora da PUCRS - ediPUCRS2020-11-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/oficinadohistoriador/article/view/3784810.15448/2178-3748.2020.2.37848Oficina do Historiador; Vol. 13 No. 2 (2020); e37848Oficina do Historiador; Vol. 13 Núm. 2 (2020); e37848Oficina do Historiador; v. 13 n. 2 (2020); e378482178-374810.15448/2178-3748.2020.2reponame:Oficina do Historiadorinstname:Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)instacron:PUC_RSporhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/oficinadohistoriador/article/view/37848/26353Copyright (c) 2020 Oficina do Historiadorhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPortal, João Camilo Grazziotin2020-12-21T18:21:59Zoai:ojs.revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br:article/37848Revistahttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/oficinadohistoriadorPRIhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/ojs/index.php/oficinadohistoriador/oai||tatyana.maia@pucrs.br2178-37482178-3748opendoar:2020-12-21T18:21:59Oficina do Historiador - Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)false |
