King Sejong regarded the reorganization of Confucian rites, music, and the managerial system as a task of upmost importance. To achieve this, experts who studied the theoretical basis of the related fields and acquired practical abilities to carry out governmental projects were required. To nurture the foundation of academic research and educate intellectuals, King Sejong utilized two institutions: Gyeongyeon (royal lecture) and Jiphyeonjeon (Hall of Worthies). These two, maintaining close relations with one another, played a crucial role in the study of Confucian rituals and systems during the Sejong era. Sejong added a new function to Jiphyeonjeon, which was the upbringing of pupils. Jiphyeonjeon selected young and capable civil officials and had them advise the King by discussing classics and histories. The King founded salary posts in Jiphyeonjeon in 1420 and had those in the posts hold the positions of Gyeongyeongwan (royal lecturer) as well. The total number of Jiphyeonjeon officials differed, from 10, 32, or 20 at times, but the responsibility of being responsible for Gyeongyeon and Seoyeon (lecture for the Crown Prince) and for authoring major state documents were maintained as their own by tradition. Personnel management in Jiphyeonjeon was characterized by the systems of long-term service and promotion by seniority. The officials of Jiphyeonjeon kept the same position for many years to focus on studying their specialties. Sejong stressed that the sole purpose of Jiphyeonjeon was to author major state documents. and therefore required the scholars to concentrate on life-long study. The officials were promoted according to the order of hire, and this system was considered to be the custom of Jiphyeonjeon. They followed the rule of seniority of official employment and age, so they could respect superior Confucian scholars. Through these processes, Jiphyeonjeon and Gyeongyeon became the preeminent scholarly research institutions. In Gyeongyeon, Sejong and the officials recited Confucius texts of Four Books and Five Classics, as well as history books such as Zizhitongjian and Xinglidaquan. They did not stop at mere reading, but reached a level of scholarly studying by adding annotations. Intellectual achievements in Gyeongyeon served as the foundations for the rearrangement of rituals and music, and the reorganization of various institutions. Conclusively, Jiphyeonjeon can be understood as the royal institution where selected officials from the highest civil service examination, nurtured by long-term engagements in Gyeongyeon, were raised as competent intellectuals, and provided administrative counsel for state management upon the requests of the royal court.

Despite the importance of North Korea’s cultural resources in researching the history and culture of the Korean peninsula, direct observation of North Korea’s cultural resources is impossible and the information that can be gathered is limited and often times unreliable. In addition, because so little is known about how cultural resources are managed in North Korea, conducting research on North Korea’s cultural resources from South Korea is extremely difficult. This research aims to both highlight and evaluate the potential of using satellite imagery as an avenue for researching North Korean cultural resources. As well as being easily acquired in South Korea, satellite imagery is a primary source of information unadulterated by North Korean perspectives, and therefore, may provide a highly valuable tool. However, in the area of cultural resources research, there is a lack of experience and knowledge regarding which satellite imagery should be used and what levels of analysis are possible. In this study, we select historical sites that are both observable through satellite imagery and most likely to provide meaningful information in order to attempt a comparison between Arirang satellites, South Korea’s well-known domestic satellite imagery provider, and Google Earth, which is both free to use and easily accessed online. Through observations of Joseon Dynasty royal tombs and Lelang Fortress and surrounding tombs, we found that the satellite imagery was useful in observing the condition and management of sites that are not found in historical sources produced in North Korea. Through a comparison of Google Earth and Arirang satellite images of major sites located in the Pyeongyang and Gaeseong areas, we found that even using Google Earth’s free services, we were able to obtain high-resolution satellite images at the 0.5 m level. In the case of Arirang satellite, it was hard to say that it provided clearer images than Google Earth. This result may be due to similar resolution of Google Earth and Arirang satellite images, and the difference in whether or not calibrated. Therefore, it is believed that commercial satellite imagery should be analyzed through professional analysis tools with calibration.

Imperial Gaze and Colonial Romanticism: The Place called Ryokan ‘Cheonjinnu’ (天眞樓) in Takahama Kyoshi’s Joseon (朝鮮)

After the trip to Manchuria and Joseon in 1909, Natsume Soseki (夏目漱石) had no choice but to take out the ‘Joseon’ part from his travelog for fear of making political conditions worse in the imperial climate of the times. Takahama Kyoshi, who was close to Soseki in the literary world of Japan, also traveled to Joseon twice in 1911, and wrote the novel Joseon. After Japan's defeat and Joseon’s liberation, however, this novel of Kyoshi was excluded from his literary history according to another's will, because it was considered to be too political and too close to the imperial situation. This study attempts to provide explanations on the political orientation that writers of the imperial era had no choice but to face, focusing on these ‘two deleted accounts of Joseon’. Soseki and Kyoshi’s travels to Joseon took place two years apart, and they were connected through the place, ‘Cheonjinnu’ (天眞樓) and the person, ‘Jung UnBok’ (鄭雲復). The Ryokan called ‘Cheonjinnu’ in the novel also displayed colonial romanticism through the conspiracy of the ‘Wando Scandal’, which had been fabricated by political vagabonds. The person at the center of this real ‘Wando Scandal’ was Ryohei Uchida, who had planned the political connections and sought political profits between Iljin Society (一進會) and the the Residency-General (統監府) prior to the Japanese Colonial Period; he was most likely the model for Gojo (剛三), a vagabond in the novel, Joseon. This paper confirms that the romantic approach to the activities of political vagabonds, from the brutal assassination of Queen Myeongseong (乙未事變) to the Wando Scandal (莞島事件), is the background for the novel Joseon of Takahama Kyoshi. Even if Kyoshi himself emphasized his literary position and the technique of literary sketch (寫生), distancing himself from imperial politics, the atmosphere of imperial politics had ready been forced to be contained in his eyes to make a sketch. This may show the common limitations that all literature of the Imperial Era could not be free from.

In this study, the significance of writing a life history was investigated through the Writing the Elderly’s Life History program conducted at Gyeongsangbuk-do Nursing Home. For the study, interviews were conducted for about 20 hours; three graduate students majoring in humanities counseling were the interviewers while three elderly people were the interviewees. The writing was conducted through continuous consultation while organizing the interview contents. The writing of the life histories conducted in this study included both the life of the narrative subject and the narrator’s perspective of the narrative subject in the writing. The overall frame of the writing was set as memory-present-view; the life of the narrative subject was to be written in the memory section; the perspective of surrounding people including the narrator looking at the narrative subject was to be written in the view section; and the present status of the narrator and the narrative subject was to be covered in the present section. Various factors affecting the writing process from finding a connecting link between the narrator’s life and the narrative subject to completing the piece of writing were observed and recorded while the writing results and interview materials were analyzed. In this study, the significance of writing a life history was examined through factors of the subjects’ ‘narrative identity’ and ‘self-care’. First, the narrators could be observed overcoming their own problems through dealing with the story of the narrative subject. This resulted in the subjects’ finding their narrative identity and the narrative subject’s identity through the process of converting the narrative subject from ‘I’ to ‘the elderly subject’. In addition, it was possible to confirm a meaningful process in which the narrative subject, who had been losing language and memory, recovered their identity through the story of narrator. Next, through their relationship with the narrative subject, the narrator was able to tend to their own self-care and healing, focusing on her/himself. Through the narrative subject, the narrator could confirm the significant experience of getting to know themselves and the relationship they had established by encountering their own, previously avoided or ignored self-image. The discussion on writing a life history presented in this study can be expected to be used to prepare writing programs for the elderly and lifelong education programs for writing in the future.
