80 years in the past, 6. August 1945, a tragedy known as Hiroshima used to be created. The phrases of the bombs had been then imposed within the media house: “E = MC2”, “Small and fat man”, “radios”, “bikini”, “gerboise”, “gorboise” …
Within the breath of Hiroshima, printed in 2024. Years of publishing in virtual layout), explorer Ana Vattel (College of Lille), thru a cultural find out about, which has been prolonged since 1945. till 1960. years, to construct a bribe of financial atom.
Under we play extract from Bankruptcy 3, devoted to the historical past of the phrase “bikini”, in addition to a shocking article printed by way of Paris Fit 1950. years.
“It was Hiroshima (…); there was a bikini with his pork parade as superior officers, which would not lack humor if death was trained.” (Andre Breton, 1949)
July 1946: Bikini, it is a bomb
When it used to be 1946. French Louis Reaard Advertising and marketing his minimalist suit, adopted him with the slogan: “Bikini, the first anatomical bomb.” »
We can recognize a non-humor and a state affect, the truth that this “bomb”, that the bikini is spreading at the seashores and stipulates the waslands on the context of the context (for decay) excellent humanity), has multiplied atomic assessments between 1946. and 1958. years.
The primary bomb exploded 1. July 1946; The operation very much printed and aroused international hobby, found out in France-Soir, who, month and a part prior to “experience”, in Would possibly 1946. years, returned to this refined artwork of Titraila, which used to be a success;
“In 40 days thunder on Tilok!” Bikini is a bomb “(France-Soir, 19. To twenty Would possibly 1946)
However a bomb is outlined, does no longer contact the lens, and the fleet for Guinea is sort of intact. This is a nice international of sunshine, unhappiness similar to those titles gathered in French press printed:
“Two ships sank sixty-three.” Is that every one? “” (This night, 2. July 1946);
“Bikini? It was not expected Nokaut” (Paris-Press, 2. July 1946);
“In the bikini, the Cobaie fleet was resisted” (France-Soir, 2. July 1946).
It’s “semi-training”, imaginable “setting” for first light (2. July 1946); And the battle newspaper miracles if Bihin’s revel in isn’t restricted (struggle, 2. July 1946).
The assessments will proceed, however the crushed media will chill out. 26. July, Raymond Aron, in battle, evoke, worried, the overall unhappiness led to the primary bomb and melancholy after we recheart:
“Men, masters of their lives and their death, conquest of nature, dedicated to possession of the power to wise men, in their dreams, and no one will be able to veil a tragic size of this historical moment.” »
And concludes:
“(…) Today, nothing protects humanity from himself and his deadly omnipotence.” »
First-April 1950: “How can n’t the atomic bomb kill me”
French weekly Parisian Paris fit, which has “the largest copies of the 1950s, which” contributes to the structuring of efficiency “, proposes the edition 1. April, insane, aristocracy, aristocracy, aristocracy”, Aristocracy “, aristocracy”, “in one house”, “, in one house, the name”, “represents as an actual manufactured from attraction increasingly more echoing, since September 1949, that the USSR has an atomic bomb.

The thing, which is within the two complete pages, wrote Richard Gerstell that the field is as a “American Navy officer”, “Doctor of Philosophy”, “Defense Advisor in the United States Civil Defense Office”. The writer is chargeable for the Ministry of Protection to check the consequences of radioactivity by way of the BiKini Atomic Checks and the advance of “civilian population protection plans for the possible atomic attack”.
The field that inserted the editorial personnel of the Parisian fit, which is exact that he “was exposed to physical radiation,” which represents his concern. “Subsequently, it’s so, testimonial analyzes; those are the primary knowledge.
Within the first paragraphs of the fit, Gersell explains that within the early days he had a “belief that atomic destruction inevitably threatened to the big part of humanity.” For this reason he welcomed the newsletter of David Bradley’s paintings, there is not any position to cover (1948), which warns of risk of radioactivity. However he used to be primarily based then, he entrusted, handiest at the “impression”; He used to be lacking the ultimate phase. Now within the ownership of “complete reports of the experiences of bikini and preliminary reports on the new atomic experiences of Enivetok”, he now “sincerely changed his mind.”
An editorial printed within the purpose goal: To persuade that radioactivity, which we all know greater than on “polio or colds”, mainly, is mainly, not more unhealthy than typhide fever or different illnesses that normally observe the bombing desolation. “
Along with his “bikini” revel in, “during which, none of the 40,000 men ‘who participated” has reached the top of “legend” on the results of the latter (she would result in the conclusion in that majority of other folks. “
Plenty of precautions, recommendation to offer protection to themselves from radioactivity when it comes to a nuclear explosion are dropped at the readers of the Paris fit: to near the door, to decrease the eyelids, to decrease the curtains; Take off your sneakers, your garments prior to returning house, wash them and rub them; Take “abundant” showers to do away with radioactive fabrics; Steer clear of puddles, stroll towards the wind; Safe haven within the basement, “most adequate protection against radiation” …
We let the reader recognize the effectiveness of those measures …
To offer protection to himself from the bomb itself, “Most damage is caused by the indirect effects of the explosion,” Cross to the tummy, closed eyes; To steer clear of burns, to find an effective barrier (wall, sewage, ditch); Sporting “light cotton clothing”, lengthy pants, extensive blouses, “hat with folded edges” …
So, this witness, this “scientist”, who studied the affect of radioactivity, is confident by way of French phrases in an acceptable manner: we will offer protection to your self from the atomic bomb, from radiation; You simply must be cautious.
Seno Legends! This Illuminated, Scientifically enlightened glance, on Bikini, on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to minore (and This is to Say) The Risk of Radiation, BeCause, It Is Smartly Recognized, “The Radioactive Clouds of a Persistent Nature Are Quickly dissipated in the sky “(that is harking back to the fantastic fable of the Cloud which, because of the Chernobyl Disaster, arrested on the borders of France); “Permanent radioactive dust that is deposited on the skin does not look dangerous”; “In the immediate vicinity of the point of explosion, full security can provide 30 centimeters of steel, 1 meter of concrete or 1 m 60 countries. A kilometer and a half, the necessary protection falls in the centimeter of steel and several inches of concrete”.
In April 1950. The American Richard Gerstell, whose remarks had been flying in France Weekly Paris Fit, however denied the affect of radioactivity.
