A NOTE
ON
TRANSLATIONS
Japanese and Korean names are presented surname first, except where the individual concerned publishes in English. Modified Hepburn is used to romanise Japanese words, with the exception of established variants for place names (Tokyo instead of Tō kyō etc). The situation is more complex for Zainichi Korean names. I follow Lie (2008: xiii–xiv) in using the individual’s preferred rendering where possible, and in those situations where this cannot be ascertained, romanising ‘the Japanese pronunciation of the Korean reading of the Chinese characters that constitute their Korean names’ (with the exception of surnames such as Kim and Pak, which are rendered without the final ‘u’ that a strict transliteration from Japanese would produce). Lie explains, ‘As discombobulated as this may seem, it captures some of the confusions and contradictions of Zainichi existence’ (2008: xiii). For the convenience of the reader, all film titles are given in English, using the official overseas title if it exists, or a translation if not. The original title is given in square brackets following the first citation in each chapter, as well as in the filmography (ordered by director’s surname) and index (ordered by Japanese and English title).
