Status Updates From Everyday Life in the North ...

Starting off very strong laying out the philosophical framework showing that the basics have been considered in this book. Even the definition of everyday life is being considered as something defined by time and space, as a concept that applies to capitalism and that was different in north korea as the everyday life was a conjuncture of ordinary life with inordinary revolutionary systemic change.

GOATed thus far.

Much sophistry in this first chapter. Seems to ignore the fact that ROK citizens revolted against the very ‘everyday’ that has been laid out in her overview of theory. Not just against DPRK but against their own dictatorships. Author will not admit the far healthier development afforded to South Korea through modernity.

A lot of cope by the author about the NASA korean peninsula satelite picture. Tragedy litters DPRK’s everyday life, even if its not entirely the kim dynasty’s fault. the economic growth experienced by ROK was inherently good given the nations past of being a relative economic backwater. Light = stability
