Abstract

英文:The TV archive can summon a certain program from “flow” of TV programs. The “flow” of events to constitute a TV program and the “flow” of images and sounds representing such events are summoned then. And it comes to be examined what kind of the “flow” events is represented by what kind of the “flow” of images and sounds. Furthermore, the time and space of event that the “flow” of images and sounds represents spread out by connecting other “flows” of images and sounds, and thereby the possibilities of “flows” of images and sounds are developed as a record and memory of events. The first TV report about Great East Japan Earthquake was a shocking event of tsunami represented by the “flow” of live images mainly. In the TV archive, the “flow” of such live images is connected to some “flows” of images and sounds representing even ts after the earthquake. And such “flows” of images and sounds become a record and memory of the earthquake then while spreading out the time and space of events represented. Similarly, in the TV archive, the initial TV report about the crisis of Fukushima Dai-Ichi Nuclear Power Plant can be a record and memory in media environment. It becomes apparent that immaturity of the knowledge about nuclear power generation and atomic energy and the time and space of catastrophic situation of Fukushima lead to historical phases of the atomic energy development in Japan.
