Rain or shine, however, the preparations for AKSE activities continue. On 21 August, 2008 the Fifth Korean Studies Convention for Graduate Students in Europe will begin, this year to be held in Leiden. Originally this was not an AKSE activity, the graduate students themselves taking charge of the entire organisation together with local teachers. This will not radically change, but AKSE will every year at the end of July include a request for funding of the convention of the following year to the Korea Foundation in its request for other activities and when necessary encourage graduate students to organise a convention. This will facilitate the work of the graduate students who are organising next year’s conference and promote continuity. Preparations are also under way for the 2009 AKSE Biennial Conference in Leiden.

The distance between Seonunsa Temple entrance and Dosoram Hermitage is 3.2 kilometers. Follow the trail along Dosolcheon Ravine, if you want to climb Seonunsan Mountain. The name 'Seonunsan' means “a mountain to meditate in the clouds”. It's also called Dosolsan Mountain. It’s a Buddhist name, meaning, “learn the teachings of Buddha”. As its name suggests, it’s a special mountain for those wishing to attain enlightenment and live by the Buddhist doctrines. If you’re here in the summer, the stream in the ravine makes a great place to rest in the shades. After the heat of the summer, you’ll see red spider lilies all around you as you walk on the lower trail of the mountain, making your walk more pleasant. Some people think it's sad that the flowers bloom only after all the leaves have fallen. More people come to this place in the early autumn to see the red tinged leaves. In your walk on the trail, listen to the clear sound of the water flowing. It may relax your mind. 2.

  • R Reviving the Times of Namsadang, Korea's Traditional Folk
    r Reviving the Times of Namsadang, Korea’s Traditional Folk Performance Troupe, through Children’s Stories (Author/ Lim Jeong-jin) Republic of Korea 1. The Crisis of Korea’s Traditional Folk Performance Through the generations Koreans have joyfully lived their lives with singing and dancing. While the royal court and the intellectual class considered the liberal arts such as writing poems, playing instruments and drawing pictures important, they also enjoyed the performances of professional folkentertainers as well. Commoners also enjoyed coming together to sing and dance while working and also during the season’s holidays. Passing on cultural assets that reflects a country’s native history to descendants is a very important duty. It is important to preserve and protect tangible cultural assets such as architectural works from damage. However, because traditional performing arts can only be preserved if it 1 is taught, practiced and performed in front of people, so it can be difficult to protect. The legacy of the traditional performing arts was nearly cut off as Korea entered the 20th century and was colonized by Japan for 36 years and afterwards Korea was heavily influenced by Western civilization After overcoming these difficulties Korean traditional folk performances are being continued precariously only through professional folk performers. It is now difficult to see images of a joyous community in which everyone in the neighborhood comes together singing and dancing with the sounds of drums. Korean children’s literature authors are putting all their effort into reviving Korea’s various traditional folk cultures through books. Thus, on October 2012 the author announced a children’s book titled, “Baudeogi” based on the experiences of wandering troupe made up of all males, travelling entertainers that specialize in folk performances.

  • A Study on the Symbolic Meanings of Jars
    상징과모래놀이치료, 제10권 제1호 Journal of Symbols & Sandplay Therapy 2019, 6, Vol. 10, No. 1, 129-151. A Study on the Symbolic Meanings of Jars Seo, Seung Hee* <Abstract> This study intends to investigate the characteristics of the jar and examine their symbolism in literature and further the symbolic meanings of the jars, which clients of various developmental tasks used during sandplay therapy. For middle-aged clients who had to go through an individuation process, the jar signified motherhood and femininity that bring a new change to an insecure relationship with the mother; or the waiting place where women spend long hours of patience and silence until their distress and torment are ripened and transformed. For adolescent student with the developmental task of reaching a rite of passage, the jar acts as a place for death and regeneration where independence from the mother is led to the growth of the ego. The jar represents new expectancy and hope. The jar serves as motherhood who embraces clients who were brought up by negative parents, and also as a vessel of the ego to encourage femininity to go on a journey for beautiful growth. This study is significant in identifying the various symbolic meanings of the jar.
