He claimed that necro-mobility is a phenomenon in which North Koreans who were caught fishing with lack of fishing capacity and equipment and ditched near the shore of Japan, China, etc. and their bodies were found months after. This can be explained as a phenomenon of transnational society, and it is a common problem for migrants and refugees in Europe. This lecture provided an opportunity to explore the conceptual space created by the North Korean wooden ship from the perspective of political politics in East Asia and to look at mobility research in North Korea. The lecturer, Professor Robert Winstanley-Chesters of University of Leeds is an editor in chief of European Journal of Korean Studies and researching about geography, culture, society, and East Asia. His books include ‘Environment, Politics and Ideology in North Korea: Landscape as Political Project’, ‘Change and Continuity in North Korean Politics’(co-author),and ‘Fish, Subterfuge and Security in North Korean and Soviet Institutional Interactions in the 1970s’. <img width="623" height="370" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; display: block;" alt="" src="ArticleFile.do?id=11769889" /> </pre>
