- Greetings from the President
The years between AKSE conferences are quiet as far as AKSE is concerned, but all members hopefully also take advantage of the possibility to look beyond the borders of our group, and attend conferences by other organisations. At least this was what we hoped when we shifted from annual to bi-annual meetings years ago. There is still a strong tendency amongst us to be too concentrated on our own network rather than making Korean Studies recognised better in the general academic world by presenting papers at various conferences outside of our network, thereby relating Korean culture studies to studies in other areas and disciplines.
I would like to remind every one again of the fact that there is some money available for small gatherings in the leap years, well-prepared gatherings of experts that devote a meeting to a narrowly defined subject.
And talking of money available: as you know, AKSE is in the position to send two . preferably junior . scholars to the yearly AAS meeting in exchange for guests from AAS attending our meetings. Those sent are naturally expected to present a paper and thereby strengthen international cooperation.
Note that the Korea Foundation has made changes in their programs, and most importantly now all European students and those permanently residing in Europe working towards a Ph.D. or M.A. can apply, regardless of which university they attend. Applications are screened by an international committee newly established by the Korea Foundation.
When this NEWSLETTER comes out, the 1st World Congress of Korean Studies, co-organised by AKS, AKSE, ISKS, and KSAA in Seoul will be over and those who were able to attend will be able to look back on a great event showing the enormous development Korean Studies has made during the last 30 to 40 years.
Next spring in Rome, or rather Frascati, AKSE.s first meeting in Italy, we will surely see great competition for attendance. While everybody will, of course, attend for scholarly reasons, the weather to be expected for our first meeting south of the Alps will also be a great incentive. Competition is a wonderful thing for doing even better in research, and so I am looking forward to seeing you all there for an outstandingly fruitful meeting.

Centre de Recherches sur la Corée (CRC) - Paris
Below is a list of the activities of the CRC, as well as of the activities of two research sections of social sciences that fall under the Laboratoire d'Études Coréennes of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique. For information about this institutional framework, see AKSE Newsletter 25, pp. 13-15.
Prof. Alexandre Guillemoz directed a seminar on the .Comparison between two books published in 1995: one by a mudang Mrs SHIM Chin-song (Shin-i sont'aek han yoja) and one by a French clairvoyante Mrs Eliane Gauthier (De la voyance à la liberté). Another doctoral seminar, entitled "Seoul, Summer 1925 . Chronologies and Boundaries, was directed by Prof. Alain Delissen.
Five Ph.D. candidates are currently underway at the CRC, with Prof. Guillemoz as their supervisor: Nicolas Bousquet, Benjamin Joinau, O Jeong-ho, Rah Sun-soon and Yim Eun-sil. Two pre-Ph.D. candidates, Kyun Nayang and Laurent Venot, plan to defend their dissertation for the Diplôme d'Études Approfondies (DEA), in autumn 2002, also under the supervision of Prof. Guillemoz.
On 28 September 2001, Mrs. Yim Eunshil obtained her DEA following the completion of her thesis "Le dilemme des Coréens du Kazakstan: du passé soviétique au présent kazakstanais".
Prof. Moon Okpyo (Academy of Korean Studies) came to the EHESS as a visiting professor in January 2002. She gave four lectures on the following subjects: 1) .Family, Kinship and Personhood in Contemporary Korea.; 2) Rural Transformation and Village Life in Japan and Korea.; 3) "Urban Community Making and Patterns of Women's Social Participation"; and 4) "Current Issues in Korean Women's Studies".
Prof. Kwon Hee-young (Academy of Korean Studies) sojourned for one year in France for research purposes and gave one lecture on .Change in the Daily Life of Korean Women . the 19th and 20th Century..
In conjunction with AFPEC (Association Française Pour l.Étude de la Corée), the CRC organised the following lectures:
- 26/10/2001: The South Korean Political System and its Main Characteristics . Prof. Bertrand Chung (EHESS).
- 23/11/2001: The .rado Morpheme and Stereotypical Sentences . Prof. Choi Seung-un (Paris 7 University).
- 14/12/2001: Current Trends in the Archaeology of Korea . Prof. Elisabeth Chabanol (École Française d'Extrême Orient).
- 08/03/2002: Going Multinational: The Korean Experience of Direct Investment . Prof. Serge Perrin (Institut Français des Relations Internationales).
- 24/05/2002: The History of Korean Literature . Prof. Daniel Bouchez (CNRS) and Prof. Cho Tong-Il (Seoul National University).
NB: After ten years of hard work, Prof. Bouchez published his translation of Prof. Cho's well-known Han'guk munhak t'ongsa. The abridged first four volumes are now available in French: Histoire de la littérature coréenne (Paris: Fayard, 2002). A special meeting was held on this occasion.

Ma recherche a été centrée sur un travail de compréhension de la place de l'homme dans lunivers, en utilisant, principalement, les grilles de lecture données par la psychologie nucléaire (cycles comportementaux, spirale de vie, phylogenèse). Ces outils d'analyse du vivant ont été utilisés pour déchiffrer des récits de vie contenus dans des ouvrages publiés, chacun en 1995, par une voyante française d'une part et par une mudang coréenne d'autre part. Outre leurs nombreux points communs, en particulier le succès médiatique de leur auteur, ces deux textes témoignent surtout d.une évolution des pratiques dans chacune de ces sociétés. Ce changement est marqué pour la voyante française par une vision dynamique de l'avenir du consultant, par un travail sur soi, et par un rejet des positions simplistes de la voyance traditionnelle. Chez la mudang, on remarque une situation d'affrontements violents avec un entourage de prosélytes protestants et une sorte de divination sauvage (prédiction de mort), hors des normes et des prudences des milieux de tradition chamanique coréenne. Ces éléments méritent d'être confrontés avec de nouvelles données de terrain. C'est le but de ma mission (juillet-août 2002) lors de laquelle je vais reprendre l'enquête menée en 1985 auprès de Chang Hyogyong, jeune mudang de Séoul, âgée de 16 ans à l'époque et l'enquête arrêtée en 1993 auprès d'une mudang âgée de plus de 70 ans, Mme Pak Sunjon.
- Prof. Delissen gave the following presentations:
On 17 December 2001: Panic or Plot? The Slaughtering of Korean people and the 1923 Tokyo Earthquake, at the University of Burgundy's. Massacres in History and Historiography, conference; on 6 April 2002, How Mass was Mass in Colonial Korea? at the AAS Conference (Washington), as part of a panel on Incipient Mass Cultures in Colonial Korea, organised by Prof. Michael Robinson (Indiana University); on 20 May 2002, Cheo-neun wae, keurigo eotteok'e Eulch'ung-nyeon Taehongsu yeon'gu hago inneunka?, at a conference on Research Strategies and the Historiography of Korea, National History Research Institute (Kwach'eon).
He also guest-edited a coming themed-issue of EJEAS on Incipient Mass Cultures in Early 20th-century East Asia and wrote a preface for a forthcoming translation into French of Carlo Rossetti's Corea e Coreani (1902).
Collective research activities:
It was decided in 2001 that the CNRS collective program of research on the regions of Korea would be expanded and deepened to eventually lead to a themed-issue of Géographie et Culture. Prof. Valérie Gelézeau (Marne la Vallée University) is in charge of the second and final stage of this process.
In order to prepare for the final conference due to be held in Paris in January 2003, a preliminary seminar was organised in January 2002.
In 2001, Dr. Elisabeth Chabanol, a specialist of Shilla archaeology, was hired as a full-time researcher by the EFEO (École Française d'Extrême-Orient). Appointed in Seoul, she reopened the EFEO bureau at the Asiatic Research Center (Korea University).
A new section was also opened in the CRC, inside the framework of the Laboratoire d.Études coréennes (CNRS) that puts together three researchers involved in the archeology of Korea. Dr. Laurence Denès (a Paekche specialist) and Ariane Perrin (a Koguryo specialist and Ph.D. candidate of SOAS) joined Dr. Chabanol to work on common projects. The first project is aimed at making a Korean-English-French lexicon of Archaeology and Sino-Korean art history and the second at making a special issue of the Bulletin de l'École Française d'extrême-Orient on Ancient Korea.
On-line information:
Mrs. Marie-Orange Rivé-Lasan carried out the time-consuming task of transforming the CRC Library catalogue and making it available on-line.
