Saudi Aramco And The Politics Of Cultural Heritage, Anahid Hanounik Huth
Saudi Aramco And The Politics Of Cultural Heritage, Anahid Hanounik Huth
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

At the same time, North Korea has become an oddly convenient trope for a certain aesthetic – an uncanny opacity; an ominous mystique – that many writers and artists have exploited to generate striking science-fictional effects in texts with little or no connection to North Korean reality.
