Conclusion: Flux and Fluidity and World Literature and Film.Mapping Tokyo in Fiction and Film explores ways that late 20th- and early 21st- century fiction and film from Japan literally and figuratively map Tokyo. The four dozen novels, stories, and films discussed here describe, define, and reflect on Tokyo urban space. They are part of the flow of Japanese-language texts being translated (or, in the case of film, subtitled) into English. Circulation in professionally translated and subtitled English-language versions helps ensure accessibility to the primarily anglophone readers of this study—and helps validate inclusion in lists of world literature and film. Tokyo’s well-established culture of mapping signifies much more than a profound attachment to place or an affinity for maps as artifacts. It is, importantly, a counter-response to feelings of insecurity and disconnection—insofar as the mapping process helps impart a sense of predictability, stability, and placeness in the real and imagined city. .Geocriticism and Spatial Literary StudiesLiterature—TranslationsLiterature, Modern—20th centuryLiterature, Modern—21st centuryOriental literatureMotion pictures—AsiaMotion picturesTranslation Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/828000Contemporary Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/815000Asian Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/831000Asian Cinema and TVhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413030Adaptation Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413180Literature—Translations.Literature, Modern—20th century.Literature, Modern—21st century.Oriental literature.Motion pictures—Asia.Motion pictures.Translation Studies.Contemporary Literature.Asian Literature.Asian Cinema and TV.Adaptation Studies.823.914Thornbury Barbara Eauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut651337MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483073903321Mapping Tokyo in Fiction and Film2849637UNINA
