<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><DIV>If the Revolution Museum is up there on Mansudae, I missed it. Besides touring the History Museum on KIS Square, I visited (for the third or fourth time), the Patriotic Victorious Liberation Struggle Museum (I'm pretty sure that's not a totally accurate rendition of the name, but you get the idea). It was not, however, on Mansudae or KIS Square. Somewhere else.. Incidentally, it's passe to talk about the KIS statue on Mansudae. That statue is gone, no one knows where. It's been replaced by a somewhat smaller KIS statue showing the Great Leader bespectacled, with a slightly pleasant smile, next to a statue of equal height of KJI. KJI was considerably shorter than his father, but the statues don't let on.</DIV>

<P class=yiv807954432MsoNormal><FONT size=3 face=굴림><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt" lang=EN-US>There may be some misunderstanding here. The Korean History Museum is now on Kim Il Sung Square, filling almost one entire side. I've been told on at least two visits that's what it is and was taken on a walk-through in July. It does not cover the Korean War and is not much about revolutionary struggle. Exhibits begin with archeological remains, birth of Tangun (of course!) and move through the millennia. At least that's what I saw when I visited for an hour or so, with minder, in July. I would have liked to have stayed longer, but that's how guided tours are. (Speaking of western-style resfaurants, a coffee shop on the corner almost next to the museum, nearest the river, offers Austrian -- or anyway European -- coffee and cake at Seoul-coffee-shop prices.)</SPAN></FONT></DIV></DIV>

<P class=yiv807954432msoplaintext><FONT size=2 face="Times New Roman"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 11pt" lang=EN-GB>I have just worked on a diachronic reading of the imaginary of Pyongyang's urban planning and the way the ideology and the regime’s mythology are staged in the city itself (what I call a “topo-mythanalysis“). It was the first part of a research about the regimes of visibility in cities (comparison Pyongyang-Seoul). The article about the topo-mythanalysis has been written and <SPAN class=yiv807954432grame>translated,</SPAN> it will be presented at the World Conference of Korean Studies in Seoul this week. My approach follows a cultural anthropology methodology (Durand). The article has been published in French in the journal <I><SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Croisements</SPAN></I> (April 2012) and will hopefully be published next year in English.</SPAN></FONT><SPAN lang=EN-US></SPAN></DIV>
