The main focus is on the inclusion and exclusion of information surrounding the Prince Yi Museum,2 its collection, and a 27- year-old crown prince who was sealed in a wooden chest by order of his father King Yeongjo and starved to death over eight sweltering summer days in 1762. All three subjects are linked to a currently pine-covered plot on Changgyeonggung’s grounds. One small signboard identifies the spot as the former location of a royal residence and modern library. More interesting is what has been excluded from that description. The manner in which Japanese and Korean officials have chosen to present or conceal information linked to this roughly 30-meter-by-100- meter site reveals major social shifts in Korea from 1907 to 2015, proving Verdery’s observation that “the macro is in the micro.” Analysis of 60 guidebooks and websites also shows how authors tend to pick up the conveniently condensed narratives reflected in publications endorsed by concurrent governments.3 1 References and documentation have been reduced to a minimum in publishing this article. Readers needing full references and a complete bibliography should refer to the author’s online thesis: https://scholarworks.iu.edu/dspace/bitstream/handle/2022/20267/KendallThesisSe pt3.pdf;sequence=1 2 The official English name of Korea’s first museum is now the Yi Royal Family Museum. However, the most common Colonial-Period name, the Prince Yi Museum, is used throughout the article for consistency. 3 Primary government journals studied: Pictorial Korea (1956-1970 -1991-2006), Facts about Korea (1963-2007), Korea Annual (1964-2003). 1 Cultivating Collective Memories 1. LATE JOSEON/COLONIAL PERIOD (1900-1945): At the beginning of the 20th century, Japanese authorities were out to prove their empire’s high Social Darwinian rank. Fact-finding missions dispatched abroad in the 1860s had studied how the Western world worked. One aspect entailed the presentation of historical, artistic and industrial achievements. These findings led to the construction of a zoo, museums and gardens within Tokyo’s Ueno Park in 1873. Its museums embodied a chance to craft a national narrative. On the Korean Peninsula, the Joseon court was struggling to modernize as well through trade concessions with Western nations. These efforts were aborted after Korea became a Japanese protectorate following the 1904-1905 Russo-Japanese War. The Joseon royal family (the House of Yi) and their property were placed under the supervision of Japanese administrators who devised a plan – on their own or at the behest of the last Joseon king (or emperor; many details depend on the source) – to turn the palace Changgyeong-gung into a public pleasure garden (Changgyeong-won), complete with zoo, museum and botanical garden. Over 80% of the palace structures were demolished to make room for this. Changdeokgung and Changgyeonggung in 1820 For recent Korean scholars, the erection of Japanese edifices over the few dilapidated palace structures left standing was a calculated humiliation designed to demystify and desacralize a space that had long been off limits to the public during the Joseon period. Non-Koreans scholars tend to concede an assertion of dominance but see Ueno and Changgyeongwon (hereafter simply ‘Changgyeong’) as designed primarily to unify society inwardly while outwardly projecting the image of a cultured, powerful empire. By the time park construction had ended in 1911, Korea’s first and last two living emperors had been forced to abdicate and Japan had 2 Cultivating Collective Memories annexed their entire 518-year-old realm. The largest Japanese icon built on Changgyeong’s grounds occupied the highest spot in the park. The brick, two-story Prince Yi Museum was capped with the high-pitched gables epitomizing Japanese castles. Changgyeong’s transformation was a small part of a much larger picture. Military campaigns from 1894 to 1905 had drained Japan’s treasury and generated bad Western press coverage. Tourism offered a way to soften its image while providing revenue. The Japan Tourism Bureau (JTB) partnered with newspapers and railroads to attract inbound tourists as soon as the empire expanded. Seoul’s palaces received barely a mention in a 1910 guide released by the Welcome Society of Japan. A year later, Changgyeong was a well-trodden part of a recommended day tour for those en route to Manchuria. Asserting Japanese dominance was a major concern in the Military Rule Period (1910-1920), and the Prince Yi Museum curators focused on corresponding exhibits. Godfrey Gompertz described Japanese activities in Korea between 1905 and 1916 as a “veritable orgy of pillaging.” Japanese surveyors could excavate wherever they wished on the peninsula whereas on the main islands, the Imperial Household Ministry expressly forbade disruption of the sacred space of imperial tombs. Prince Yi Museum (Iwangga Bangmulgwan) 1911-1938, demolished 1992 The first travel guide reviews were unimpressed by the Prince Yi Museum’s collection: 3 Cultivating Collective Memories It is decidedly inferior to the customary splendid ancient and modern art objects one usually sees in the museums of Japan. There are strangely few antiquities of artistic or intrinsic worth, despite the oft-repeated assertion that Korea was the fountainhead whence the wonderful artisans of Old Japan drew their inspiration (Terry, 1914: 745). Japanese officials started to apply their proven sales techniques 4 to Korean finds during the Cultural Rule Period (1920-39) with a subsequent rise in the quantity, quality and description of Korean artifacts (Pai, 2013: 93). The Governor-General’s office then began shipping handsome Prince Yi Museum catalogues in English and Japanese to Europe and America (Pai, 2013: 91).5 Once Japan started promoting Korea’s cultural legacy, accounts similar to their scholars’ analyses appeared abroad. Andreas Eckardt published Geschichte der Koreanischen Kunst (History of Korean Art) in German and English in 1929. The monograph covers several pieces held in the “Prince I Museum.” Eckardt explains that his book is a product of German and Japanese universities’ efforts to fill the Korean art void that exists in Western languages.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: UNTOLD STORIES: THE
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: UNTOLD STORIES: THE OTHER KOREA Grace Pak, Master of Architecture, Spring 2015 Directed By: Professor Garth Rockcastle, Department of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation This thesis explores the dialectical tensions, ironies, and myths of North Korea, with the hope of exposing fallacies and bringing awareness to the crisis of the oppressed citizens of this hermetic country. There are discrepancies between the North Korea that most people know, and one that is lesser known, which contains the everyday stories of real people. The goal is to design a cultural landscape containing the narratives of the persecuted in an effort to promote understanding about a country that is largely misinterpreted because of the images the Kim dictatorship and international media have planted in the minds of many people. The architecture provides a ground for commentary on the truth and what can be done to change the current state of apathy, ignorance, and helplessness. Acts of violation against humanity that continue in North Korea must be stopped. The fact that the North and South must reunite to save the citizens of North Korea is a pressing issue that the South Koreans must genuinely want in order to create change. Gathering information about Korea’s history and attributes of the proposed site will reveal how time changes space, the way our memories and ideas are both temporal and timeless as they are exchanged. When we become more aware of the issues at large, it will change our indifference and help us react to the stories that are told. UNTOLD STORIES: THE OTHER KOREA By Grace J.

Mobley: Pueblo—A Retrospective PUEBLO A Retrospective Commander Richard Mobley, U.S. Navy orth Korea’s seizure of the U.S. Navy intelligence-collection—officially, N“environmental research”—ship USS Pueblo (AGER 2) on 23 January 1968 set the stage for a painful year of negotiations. Diplomacy ultimately freed the crew; Pyongyang finally released the men in December 1968. However, in the first days of the crisis—the focus of this article—it was the military that was called upon to respond. Naval power would have played an important role in any immediate attempts to force the People’s Democratic Republic of Korea to re- lease the crew and ship. Failing that, the Seventh Fleet would have been on the forefront of any retaliation. Many works published over the last thirty-three years support this view.1 However, hundreds of formerly classified documents released to the public in the late 1990s offer new insight into many aspects of the crisis.
