In this episode Lyman Gamberton explores the cultural connotations and political construction of the Science Museum's display of 'Bowl from Hiroshima, Japan'. We discuss which identites are represented and which are hidden through object selection and positioning, and consider and their framing of the event in relation to other events showcased in the Making the Modern World Gallery. Lyman Gamberton is a PhD candidate in Social Anthropology at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London. His area of specialisation is the body and material culture in Japanese social contexts, with a particular focus on gender, disability, pathology, and performance. His MA dissertation was an historical-ethnographic study of the role gender played in the self-perceptions of Nagasaki's atomic bomb survivors, 1945-1990. He continues to work in the intersection of Gender, Disability, and Nuclear Studies
