- Title
"The Only Dominator and Remaker of the World": <Self-Reliance>, <Unification>, and the Rhetoric of North Korean Juche.
- Authors
Wood, Andrew F.; Terry, David P.
- Abstract
This essay examines the constitutive rhetoric of monuments, tourist sites, and spectacles encountered while visiting the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in 2012. Expanding ideographic analysis, the essay adds an axis of performativity to extant axes of synchronic pairs and diachronic temporality. Key sites for analysis include the Monument to Party Foundation, the Mansudae Grand Monument, and the USS Pueblo exhibit, sites that reflect an evolution and interplay of <self-reliance> and <unification> to provide insights on a place too often dismissed as the "Hermit Kingdom."
