The Southampton Marine & Maritime Institute (SMMI) Ocean Justice Special Interest Group (SIG) invites you to join us for a hybrid talk at 1-2pm BST at the University of Southampton (UK) or online on:

‘Sounding Mā’ohi memories through podcast: Spiralling towards Mā’ohi climate change futures in “Nu/clear stories” (2023-)’ by Dr Josephine Goldman (University of Sydney)

This talk will kick start the SMMI Ocean Justice SIG 25-26 Decolonial Reading Group.

Dr Goldman explores the podcast “Nu/clear stories” (2023-) created by Tahitian researchers and artists Mililani Ganivet and Marie-Hélène Villierme, examining its complex embodied and multisensory accounting of nuclear experience by focusing on its qualities of spiralling repetition. Exploring these repetitions offers insight into the specific affordances of the oral/aural podcast medium, with its capacity to reorient our perception of time and space. This talk sees this podcast’s sharing of nuclear memory as part of Indigenous resistance to the “ahistorical and future-oriented temporality of climate change discourse” which “den[ies] Indigenous futures and ignor[es] the violent histories that have led to the current climate breakdown” (Wander, 155).

This is a hybrid event. You can attend in person - Room 7007, Building 100 Highfield Campus, University of Southampton, where light refreshments will be provided. You can also attend online.
