    Extractions: Goethe Institut President Limbach Photo by Herlinde Koelbl for Goethe Institut The information available in the center on German language, culture, society, as well as technical and science literature, will be publicly accessible. This corresponds to the desire of the German Government, despite the still existing and sometimes severe problems in the area of nuclear nonproliferation and in human rights, to make a contribution to the opening of North Korea. Until now, little information about Germany has been available in North Korea. "The opening of the centre is a big success for our cultural policies", said Jutta Limbach, President of the Goethe-Institut, who will open the centre. "Culture and education can achieve many things which politics alone cannot. We are very happy to be able to react to a big demand in information about Germany and hope the centre will be well frequented. It is our interest to use the existing possibilities for a free flow of information anywhere in the world. It is a big step forward, that we have now found partners in North Korea." The Goethe Institut has 127 institutions in 76 countries. The centre in Pyongyang will be the organization's 57th reading room.

Adherents of this view believe that the North Korean leadership genuinely fears an attack by the United States and South Korea and maintains a strong military purely for defense. serves primarily to strengthen his domestic political power base. While there is an obvious element of truth in this proposition, it is an oversimplification that distorts the true role of military strength in the regime. development of longer-range ballistic missiles, and the recent revelation by Pyongyang that it seeks a nuclear weapons capability as indications that reunification remains the foremost goal. reunification through force of arms appears to remain possible to the North Korean leadership. Such dependency is inconsistent with the ideological tenet of Juche (self-reliance).

    Extractions: Subject: Social Studies North Korea has been a hot news topic throughout October 2002, and the last week of the month was no exception. Basically, the country recently admitted to developing uranium-enrichment facilities as part of their secret program to build nuclear weapons. Such efforts violate a 1994 agreement - the so-called "Agreed Framework" - that disallows such activities. In their defense, North Korean officials have said that the United States violated the agreement first: the American government has failed to move toward normal ties with the Asian nation, and there have been long delays in the completion of two civilian nuclear power plants that were promised under the pact. Relations between the U.S. and North Korea have been tense at least since the Korean War, shortly after Korea was first split into two parts - North and South - at the end of World War II. Through the years, North Korea has been extremely secretive regarding its military operations and political agendas, and it has also kept itself relatively isolated culturally and socially from the rest of the world. In this week's lesson, you'll learn about how North Korea's leaders have shaped the country we get a glimpse of today. Plus, you'll explore Korea's ancient history and culture.

    Extractions: Since the establishment of the Han Dynasty colonies in the northern Korean Peninsula 2,000 years ago, Koreans have been under the cultural influence of China . During the period of Japanese rule (1910-45), the government attempted to force Koreans to adopt the Japanese language and culture . Neither the long and pervasive Chinese influence nor the more coercive and short-lived Japanese attempts to make Koreans loyal subjects of the Japanese emperor, however, succeeded in eradicating their ethnic, cultural, and linguistic distinctiveness. The desire of the North Korean regime to preserve its version of Korean culture, including many traditional aspects such as food, dress, art, architecture, and folkways, is motivated in part by the historical experience of cultural domination by both the Chinese and the Japanese. Juche 's ideology asserts Korea 's cultural distinctiveness and creativity as well as the productive powers of the working masses. The ways in which Juche rhetoric is used shows a razor-thin distinction between revolutionary themes of self-sufficient socialist construction and a virulent ethnocentrism. In the eyes of North Korea's leaders, the "occupation" of the southern half of the peninsula by "foreign imperialists" lends special urgency to the issue of culturalethnic identity. Not only must the people of

There is little subtlety in most contemporary cultural expression. Foreign imperialists, especially the Japanese and the Americans, are depicted as heartless monsters; revolutionary heroes and heroines are seen as saintly figures who act from the purest of motives.

Cooperation and Conflicts Intercultural Institute of California (IIC) www.iic.edu info@iic.edu Symposium of Historians Held Pyongyang, August 24 (KCNA) A symposium of historians was held by the Academy of Social Sciences Tuesday, 60 years since Ukishima-maru was blown up by the Japanese imperialists. Present there were Thae Hyong Chol, president of the Academy of Social Sciences, officials concerned and teachers and researchers in the field of social science and of universities. Speakers cited concrete historical facts to prove that the case was an inhuman and national chauvinistic massacre of Koreans committed by the Japanese imperialists. They disclosed what monstrous crimes were committed by the Japanese imperialists against those aboard the ship. The Japanese authorities are falsifying truth about the incident which claimed thousands of civilian casualties, while dastardly working to keep the incident buried into oblivion at any cost, understating the number of the victims, the speakers said, and went on: Worse still, Japan views the incident from the political view-point of negating its past crimes. Even the legal circle of Japan tends to back the stand of its government. The reality indicates that a proper settlement of the incident presents itself as one of the political and legal issues related to protecting and exercising the dignity and sovereignty of the Korean nation.

The UN's cultural body, Unesco, says it is trying to balance the bias towards Western sites on the list so far. Forty-eight sites are being considered for the list by the World Heritage Committee at a meeting in China.
