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.

Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ③ Philosophical and Religious Publications

Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ③ Philosophical and Religious Publications   2020.04.06     Religion was the origin of publishing in both the East and the West. The common ground of 42-line Gutenberg Bible (1455) which is regarded as the beginning of modern publication and Jikji: Anthology of Great Buddhist Priests’ Zen Teachings (1377), the world’s first Buddhist scripture made with movable metal types which predate the Bible, is that they are both religious books. It is possible to say that philosophical and religious publications are from the same source in that they both talk about the ongoing struggles of humanity – what is a human being and how should one live.According to the statistics of the Korean Publishers Association, the number of titles published in Korea was 2,291 for philosophical books, while it was 2,958 for religious books in 2019. In terms of philosophical books, an average of 1,000 copies (1,232 copies...

Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ② History Publication

Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ② History Publication   2020.03.02     The publication industry is “a mirror called record” that reflects the society. The publication of history-related books that are the archive of time and space connecting the past and the present is a clear indicator that shows Korean society’s interest in history. By looking at the published titles, best seller trends, and newly emerging trends, you can see where the current publishing market is and where the intellectual desire of readers is heading to.Historically, Korea has undergone long turbulent generations due to its geopolitical location in East Asia and invasions by surrounding powers. Until World War II in which liberalization was the greatest task, ethnic identity was very strong, and during the Cold War, a historical awareness that the two Koreas should overcome division and pursue reunification settled down.According to the statistics of the Korean Publi...

Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ① Literature publication

Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ① Literature publication   2020.02.03     Interesting stories from the past will always attract people’s minds; literature was the beginning and the flower of publication in every country. The poems, novels, essays, and plays written in Korean by Korean authors that sublimate their identity, emotions, and critical minds are an irreplaceable pillar of Korean culture. In particular, while undergoing turbulent modern history including the Japanese colonization, the Korean War, military dictatorship, industrialization, democratization, globalization, and informatization, Koreans would reflect the wounds in gemlike poems, novels, and essays, and share them in the form of a book. While not neglecting the pains of the time and standing against unjust authority, literature also played a role as an encourager that gave courage and hope to readers. Korean publication is also a resemblance of literature;...

Discussions on public lending rights and tasks ahead

Discussions on public lending rights and tasks ahead   2019.09.09   Public lending rights (PLR) refer to the rights authors, and other original content creators have in regards to books that are loaned to the public by institutions like public libraries. PLR is a credit-type right to claim compensation in order to make up for losses the content creator may face due to the lending of their book by libraries to the public. It is not a real proprietary right that has the power to permit or ban the use of the published work itself.   Countries that have adopted PLR   Nearly all the countries that have PLR are in Europe because the program implementation was made mandatory as part of a European Community (EC) agreement.   PLR was first adopted by Denmark in 1946 and enforced by other European countries slowly after then. As of August 2019, 33 countries around the world have implemented this program (some state 35 countrie...
