[KS] Koreanstudies Digest, Vol 217, Issue 15

Tue Jul 27 03:40:51 EDT 2021

Although it is our destiny to end our life at a certain stage, it is really
sad that I hear the obit of a student who learned Korean in my first year
teaching at the Language Research Institute of Seoul National University.
It also means I have to rearrange my mind ready to leave this life sooner
or later to meet the old acquaintances somewhere someday hopefully.

> 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.
