북한연구에 있어 일상생활연구방법의 가능성과 과제 = A Study of Everyday Life Approach on North Korean Studies

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This article aims to review methodology on North Korean Studies, especially everyday life approach. North Korea under Kim Il-sung is a living example of totalitarian society. But totalitarian model approach is too static, narrow and substructurally insensitive to evolutionary changes in totalitarianism. Immanent approach had introduced as a new approach of North Korean studies in 1988, Immanent approach that presented in South Korea has made a false representation of its meanings and subject matters in terms of ``approach`` This article is to emphasize a study on everyday life as a new perspective of North Korean studies. The everyday life approach is based on the methodological self-reflection on the tendency of prevailing North Korean studies, which placed excessive emphasis on the leadership, ideology, and political system of North Korea.
