説明

In this article I explore what zombies potentially mean in Okinawa. I do so by analyzing films in relation to the history and culture. Recent years have seen growing research on zombies, which include ones in films. This helps us to classify the films into classic zombie films, zombie films after Romero, and zombie films that deal with infectious diseases. Moreover, examining the areas of Okinawa and zombies from various angles enables us to see the problems of education and otherization throughout history, which began with the disposition of Ryukyu. Echoing the history of Haiti, these suggest what possible meanings the representation of zombie has in Okinawa. On the other hand, films, High Sai Zombie and Kumoziya Zombie, also represent zombie, but they show the case that it is impossible for zombie to survive in Okinawa, thereby suggesting certain complication of the issue.
