Abstract
This paper discusses the cultural translation of Asian cityscapes in Mamoru Oshii's Ghost in the Shell and its sequel Innocence from the perspective of globalization. The discussion is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the pivotal role that SF imaginary plays as Japan seeks to re-establish its national identity after the great defeat of World War II, together with the psychological mechanism and tension underlying this re-structuration. The second part starts from an analysis of the cultural translation of Asian cityscapes in Ghost in the Shell and Innocence, hoping to tease out the transformation of how Japan adjusts itself in relation to an Asia that has been undergoing a drastic process of globalization.
