In the years since the death of Kim Jong-il and the formal
acknowledgement of Kim Jong-un as head of state, the North Korean
regime has made a series of moves to further augment and
consolidate the ideological foundations of Kimism and cement the
young leader's legitimacy. Historical narratives have played a
critical, if often unnoticed, role in this process. This book seeks
to chronicle these historical changes and continuities. Continuity
and Change in North Korean Politics explores the stable and
shifting political, cultural and economic landscapes of North Korea
in the era of Kim Jong-un. The contributors deploy a variety of
methodologies of analysis focused on the content, narratives and
discourses of politics under Kim Jong-un, tracing its historical
roots and contemporary practical and conceptual manifestations.
Moving beyond most analyses of North Korea's political and
institutional ideologies, the book explores uncharted spaces of
social and cultural relations, including children's literature,
fisheries, grassland reclamation, commemorative culture, and
gender. By examining critical moments of change and continuity in
the country's past, it builds a holistic analysis of national
politics as it is currently deployed and experienced. Demonstrating
how historical, political and cultural narratives continue to be
adapted to suit new and challenging circumstances, this book will
be of interest to students and scholars of Korean Studies, Korean
Politics and Asian Studies.
