Anyone with an interest in the study of Korean shamanism and all his friends and acquaintances will be saddened by the news that on the 21st of July, at the age of 80, Alexandre Guillemoz has passed away. Alex started to study Korean shamanism at a time when the subject was not exactly popular and Korean researchers who did do some research on it were devoting their attention more to the songs the shamans sang than to the rituals. His research was characterised by intensive fieldwork and painstaking attention to the details of ethnography. Eventually, he became a professor at the prestigious Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) and the Director of the French Korean Studies Centre, contributing much to the development of the field of Korean Studies in general. He also served in an exemplary way as President of the Association of Korean Studies in Europe (AKSE) of which he was an active member throughout his career. But he wil also be remembered for his exceptional personal qualities, his kindness, generosity, and enthusiasm.<br>

The Center for Korean Studies at Ehess is very sad to inform the Korean Studies global community that its founder, Alexandre Guillemoz, passed away in Paris on July 21, 2021. He had just turned 80.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
An ethnologist of Korean shamanism, whose study and perception he renewed in the late 1970s within the framework of a general anthropology of Korean religions, he made an enduring contribution to the inclusion and development of multidisciplinary Korean studies in the French and European academic landscape.<br>
<br>
He was a co-founder of AKSE (Association for Korean Studies in Europe) in 1977, and later on its president.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Along with many inspiring contributions, he leaves two books in French, Les Algues, les Anciens, les Dieux [Seaweed, Ancestors, and the Gods] (1983) and La Chamane ? l'?ventail [The Shamaness with a Fan] (2010) to our scholarly community. His friends and colleagues will keep vibrant memories of an enthusiastic personality with a large and benevolent smile.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
He will return to his Korea look-alike Ard?che mountains where he retired in 2006 with his wife Bang Haija, and where his son Simon, his daughter Sabine and his grandchildren later joined him.<br>
