From a Tiny Room to a Funeral Home, and to the Heaven of Magma

One-Liner Quotes   From a Tiny Room to a Funeral Home,and to the Heaven of Magma A Poet’s Pick   2024.08.05   Kim Yu-Tae is a poet and reporter in the Art & Culture Department at Maeil Business Newspaper. He wrote the poetry collection, Nothing Happened Except for That One (Munhakdongne, 2021), and the prose collection about banned books, Bad Books (Geulhangari, 2024).   A Western scholar once wrote that language reveals what has been, and what has not been, and above all, what has “ceased” to exist. Here, the language can be the names of those who once existed, or sometimes the sentences left behind in the form of poetry. In this respect, I have long thought of the posthumous poetry collection as a “rusty mirror” in which the departed tried to find and gaze upon their own self-portrait ahead of time.The poetry of the dead, contemplated in life by those who are no longer with us, is like a letter from the afterlife to the pre...

Korea’s Writing Platforms

Publishing Industry   Korea’s Writing Platforms   2022.07.04   In the book Writing Space, Jay David Bolter says that writing technologies realize the writing space. In other words, the writing tools, materials used, cultural selection, and social customs significantly impact the writer’s writing style and content. As a result, changes in writers’ works will be more evident in a different environment in the long run. After the Digital Revolution, people write about their daily lives more on screens than on paper, and people are moving from offline to online at an astoundingly fast pace.With changes in writing space, the pathway to publishing books is also changing rapidly. In the past, writers won literary awards, submitted to publishers, or were recommended by acquaintances before publishing their works in paper books. In contrast, writers nowadays increasingly publish their writings on online writing platforms first, get found by editors, and ...

Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ④ Social Science Publications

Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ④ Social Science Publications   2020.05.04     The 1980s were the golden age for social science publications in the Korean publishing industry. Under the ruling of the new military dictatorship, it was social science books and their readers that took the lead in the overall social transformation through intense democratic and labor movements. The books were the texts of social movement and transformation. Bookstores specialized in social science books, though most of them cannot be found today, thrived next to colleges across the nation. With the “announcement of democratization” in 1987, Seoul Olympics in 1988, and the establishment of a civilian government in 1993, Korea has been pursuing cultural diversity amidst the paradigm shifts of political democratization, globalization, and becoming an information society, positioning itself as a responsible member of the international community.
