Even amid a series of intense political/economic crises and international conflicts, the financially troubled country continues to invest massive amounts of resources to sponsor unflinching displays of patriotism, glorifying its leaders and revolutionary history through state rituals that can involve hundreds of thousands of performers. Author Suk-Young Kim explores how sixty years of state-sponsored propaganda performances--including public spectacles, theater, film, and other visual media such as posters--shape everyday practice such as education, the mobilization of labor, the gendering of social interactions, the organization of national space, tourism, and transnational human rights. Equal parts fascinating and disturbing, Illusive Utopia shows how the country's visual culture and performing arts set the course for the illusionary formation of a distinctive national identity and state legitimacy, illuminating deep-rooted cultural explanations as to why socialism has survived in North Korea despite the fall of the Berlin Wall, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and China's continuing march toward economic prosperity. 410 0$aTheater--theory/text/performance. 517 3 $aTheater, film, and everyday performance in North Korea 606 $aTheater and society$zKorea (North) 606 $aTheater$xPolitical aspects$zKorea (North) 606 $aMotion pictures$xSocial aspects$zKorea (North) 606 $aMotion pictures$xPolitical aspects$zKorea (North) 606 $aPerforming arts$xSocial aspects$zKorea (North) 606 $aPerforming arts$xPolitical aspects$zKorea (North) 607 $aKorea (North)$2fast 607 $aNordkorea$2gnd 607 $aNordkorea$2swd 615 0$aTheater and society 615 0$aTheater$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aMotion pictures$xSocial aspects 615 0$aMotion pictures$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aPerforming arts$xSocial aspects 615 0$aPerforming arts$xPolitical aspects 676 $a792.095193 700 $aKim$b Suk-Young$f1970-$01482326 712 02$aMichigan Publishing (University of Michigan) 801 0$bMiU 801 1$bMiU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785172103321 996 $aIllusive utopia$93699900 997 $aUNINA
