GATEWAY TO KOREA: COLONIALISM, NATIONALISM, AND RECONSTRUCTING RUINS AS TOURIST LANDMARKS

This paper traces the evolution of the South Gate (Sungnye-mun) as a must-see destination representing the antiquity, beauty and patrimony of Seoul, the former capital of the 600 year-old Chosŏn dynasty of Korea (1392-1910). Using the case study of the Republic of Korea's premier national treasure, this paper traces the preservation methods, educational, and commercial agendas of the producers, managers, and promoters of heritage remains. The earliest photographic records date back to the late nineteenth century when travel photo- graphs taken by stereo-view companies, photo-studios, and diplomats were recycled in newspapers, postcards, and guidebooks, giving foreigners the first glimpses into the “Hermit Kingdom.” The analysis relies on CRM archives such as photographs, guidebooks, architectural surveys, excavation reports, and material resources compiled by the Cultural Heritage Administration (CHA) during the five years of excavations and construction of a replica to replace the original destroyed in an arson fire in 2008. The paper concludes with the grand re-opening ceremony to celebrate not only the resurrection of South Gate but to showcase the successes of the government's centralized heritage management policies, and conservation methods dedicated to preserving the city's architectural heritage

Postoperative maxillary cyst: review of 70 cases with respect to clinicopathologic parameters

Postoperative maxillary cyst(POMC) or surgical ciliated cyst is defined as a variant of sinus mucoceles which developed after trauma or surgery to the maxillary since. The POMC most frequently originates after a Caldwell-Luc operation or infrequently arises from difficulf extraction of a maxillary tooth. Although the clinicopathologic parameters of POMC involoing Japanese have been studied well, its clinicopathologic parameters in Korean has not been investigated yet. The objective of this investigation is to provide the Korean dentists who have frequently experienced difficult extraction with the clinicopathologic parameters of POMC. Eighty two cases of POMC were retrieved from the Department of Oral Pathology, Seoul National University Hospital, and seventy were selected after scrupulous reexamaination of histopathologic and radiographic features. They were reviwed with respect to age, gender, site of involvement, clinical findings, and pathologic appearance. POMC occurred more frequently in males(41 case, 58.6%) than in females (29 cases, 41.4%), and they occurred over a wide age range, most commonly in the fourth decade (28 cases, 40.0%), and mean age was 44 years. Average duration of development of POMC after surgery was 20.7 years. The most common clinical manifestations at the time of admission was pain with swelling particularly in the buccal or retromolar area of affected side of the maxillary sinus
