AB - This paper examines diachronic changes in the translated titles of Korean ceramics in museums, focusing on the issue of agency. During the modern era, when Korea was deprived of its voice, the naming and translation of Korean ceramics were largely carried out by Western powers or imperialist Japan. These practices often involved domesticating ceramic terms into the target language or indirectly translating them through Japanese. As a result, Korean ceramics became subsumed into imperial archives, losing their original context and, at times, conveying inaccurate information. Since Korea’s liberation from Japanese colonial rule, the country has sought to address these inaccuracies by developing a ceramic lexicon that reflects its national identity and cultural sophistication and disseminating revised translations through domestic initiatives.
