				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--:it--><em><span style="color: #800000;">[We are proud to introduce new Shoot4Change member, Katsuo Takahasi, who pays a tribute to those who struggle to go on in Fukushima. It&#8217;s no coincidence that we publish it today, exactly 3 years after the Earthquake that hit Central Italy and destroied the city of l&#8217;Aquila. S4C is involved in keeping the memory of that event and the tribute to those who struggle there, too. Keeping memories is important and this is what we do. Telling stories is fundamental to keep public awareness high. It&#8217;s our nature. So, it makes sense to present today a  great project, a talented young photographer who&#8217;s doing the same on the other side of the World. Welcome on board, Katsuo!]</span></em></p>
<h2>Those who Remain In Fukushima</h2>
<h4>(text and photographs by: Katsuo Takahashi*)</h4>
<p>Fukushima</p>
<p>Fukushima as a frontier</p>
<p>Fukushima as a place providing food, labour and electricity</p>

<p>Fukushima as a place where people are terrified with fear of radiation and are looked as a criminal and where family and region are torn apart.</p>
<p>The coast of Fukushima Prefecture was devastated by the gigantic earthquake and massive tsunami. The area has been severely affected by radiation from Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant.</p>
<p>I visited Minami-Soma City which was totally divided in late March. The coastal side was completely ruined.</p>
<p>The area within 20 kilometers from the plant has become an exclusion area and a high level of radiation was detected in east side of the city.</p>
<p>Most of the people took refuge in another prefecture, but some people remained there after the explosions of the nuclear plant.</p>
<p>Traditionally, people in this region work hard and live a simple life with relatives and neighbours.</p>
<div id="attachment_7997" style="width: 307px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="http://www.s4c.it/slides/fukushima" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-7997 " title="katsuo.013" src="https://www.shoot4change.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/katsuo.013-297x300.jpg" alt="" width="297" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">(click to see the complete gallery)</p></div>
<p>A rich mix of culture and tradition remains vibrant today, including the 600-year old Soma-Nomaoi festival in Soma City and Minami-Soma City, which were foremerly the domain of Soma.</p>
<p>I felt I should record them at a time when their culture and tradition are facing crisis. There are a variety of reasons why they remain in this region.<br />
Fishermen and farmers don`t want to leave their place of work.<br />
Dairy farmers want to live with their livestock.<br />
Some people don`t want to leave their home and land and some people can`t leave because of health or economic problems.</p>
<p>I shot those people in Soma and Minami-Soma in the months following late March. In the present situation, their future is murky indeed. The plant is still unstable and the evacuation area might be extended in the future, and besides, local industry such as fishing, firming, cultivation, and tourism have been devastated by the radiation.</p>
<p>In addition nobody knows when they could restart these activities. But people in this region don`t give in and they have been silently fighting revival.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Il mito dell’energia nucleare nella Francia del dopoguerra</h2>
<p>(testo e <a href="http://www.s4c.it/slides/impressioniumane/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">foto</span></a> di Hugo Albignac/S4C Parigi)</p>
<p>Sono un membro di Shoot4change da Settembre 2011</p>
<p>Attraverso le mie fotografie, mi impegno a mettere in discussione oggetti, strutture, edifici ovvero ‘oggetti-cantastorie’ che, abbandonati in natura, narrano l’appropriazione da parte dell’uomo del suo spazio geografico. Questi oggetti rivelano un modo di vita in una determinata epoca e tessono i fili che legono i diversi momenti di uno stesso luogo.</p>
<div id="attachment_6551" style="width: 610px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://www.s4c.it/slides/impressioniumane/" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-6551 " title="Struttura5" src="https://www.shoot4change.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Struttura5.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">(cliccare per la gallery di Hugo Albignac)</p></div>
<p>Interessarsi alle ‘impressioni’ lasciate dall’uomo permette di cogliere la confusione esistente nel decoro tra gli elementi naturali e le strutture artificiali imposte alla natura dal loro creatore come se fossero eterne. Gli oggetti-cantastorie vogliono dunque ricordare la responsabilità delle impressioni lasciata in eredità dall’uomo-creatore alle generazioni future.</p>
<p> <a href="http://www.s4c.it/slides/impressioniumane/" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-6552" title="Nuclear2" src="https://www.shoot4change.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Nuclear2-200x300.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a>La riflessione su questi oggetti – in contemporanea con la redazione di un articolo sull’energia nucleare dopo Fukushima in Italia e Francia per il settimanale, <em>LEFT – Avvenimenti</em> – mi ha portato a considerare il caso delle centrali nucleari in Francia come un esempio paradigmatico degli oggetti-cantastorie. Esse possono rivelare sia la creazione del mito dell’energia nucleare in Francia nel dopoguerra sia l’esempio di continuità storica per un paese che si rappresenta come simbolo della modernità, politica, sociale e scientifica.</p>
<p>Mi auguro di sviluppare questo tema in una prossima mostra fotografica.</p>
<p>Vivo a Parigi, dove sono nato nel 1979 e mi sono specializzato in sociologia delle istituzioni politiche alla Sorbona. Ho recentemente collaborato con il servizio Agenda 21 del comune di Padova nell’ambito del programma europeo Leonardo. Da maggio 2011 lavoro per la rivista italiana <em>LEFT – Avvenimenti</em> come corrispondente da Parigi. Dal 2000 sono impegnato nel campo teatrale come attore per la compagnia <em>Théâtre péripherique</em> e come giornalista per la rivista culturale francese <em>Cassandre</em>.</p>
<p>Ho iniziato a guardare il mondo attraverso l’obiettivo a 12 anni. Nel 2005 ho ereditato la Minolta SRT 101b di fine anni 70 di mio padre e d’allora ho deciso, grazie ad essa, di far emergere la genealogia dell’impatto umano nel suo spazio dalle mie fotografie, scattate in giro, laddove l’uomo ha lasciato la sua impronta.</p>

<p>Ho realizzato due mostre fotografiche in Francia: a Limoges con il titolo <em>Figé comme un mouvement</em> (settembre 2010) e a Parigi con il lavoro <em>Métal en nature</em> (giugno 2011). Ho recentemente esposto (luglio 2011)</p>
<p> in Italia, a Salerno, il lavoro <em>Impressioni umane</em>.</p>
