The Global Hub of Culture and the Arts: London

Special Project   [New Ways of Walking Through Cities ⑫] The Global Hub of Culture and the Arts: London   2025.12.01       Once called “the empire on which the sun never sets,” Britain has seen its tangible influence fade over the two centuries since its golden age in the 19th and 20th centuries, yet its symbolic power remains intact. London, a city that still holds the historical and cultural legacy built during the days of the British Empire, exemplifies this most clearly. This is why tracing the history of London back to its beginnings as the Roman fortress of Londinium is no easy task, for the meanings contained within its past are countless. London is also a city inseparable from one of humanity’s most significant milestones - the Industrial Revolution.During the Industrial Revolution, London was one of the fastest-growing cities in the world in terms of population. Its population, whic...

Life and Community Built Through Books: Gochang Book Village

Topic   Life and Community Built Through Books: Gochang Book Village   2025.11.03   In Gochang, Jeonbuk State, there is “Gochang Book Village (고창서점마을).” Officially opened on October 11, 2025, it is Korea’s first village of bookstores, bringing together six independent bookstores that each specialize in distinct genres - philosophy, graphic novels, ecology, travel, and picture books. Why, in an era when even large bookstores in bustling cities struggle to survive, did these individuals gather in a small rural town? Lee Yoon-Ho (이윤호), the village head, recounts how Gochang Book Village - created by a diverse group of people including literary critics, planners, and teachers who dreamed of England’s famous book town Hay-on-Wye - came into being.   View of Gochang Book Village     How Gochang Book Village was born   The creation of Gochang Book Village began by chance....

Jane Lawson, Publishing Director at Doubleday, Talks About Korean Literature

Export Case   Jane Lawson, Publishing Director at Doubleday,Talks About Korean Literature   2025.11.03   Just a decade ago, there was a prevailing belief that Korean literature could not be globalized because of linguistic and translational barriers. However, with the improvement of translation and global readers’ growing eagerness for a wider range of stories, Korean content began to draw closer to them. It eventually settled in as its own genre under the name “K-content,” now recognized worldwide. Korean literature, in particular, proved this trend with Han Kang’s Nobel Prize in Literature. Yet, many Korean works remain undiscovered internationally. At the “2025 Copyright Export Support Program,” organized by the Literature Translation Institute of Korea (LTI) this past September, we met Jane Lawson, publishing director at Doubleday, an imprint of Penguin Random House UK, and discussed Korean literature.   ...

A Thriving Metamorphosis of Queer Literature

Knowledge   A Thriving Metamorphosis of Queer Literature The growth and prospects of Korean queer literature   2025.09.04   Refreshing history: joining hands with feminism   The queerness of Korean literature continues to reach new heights. Recent works published in literary magazines, almost without exception, embody a feminist consciousness and a queer-friendly stance. Novels that feature gay, lesbian, and transgender characters as central figures are also steadily on the rise. Of course, whether a work can be called “queer literature” simply because its characters are named and categorized as queer remains a question that requires ongoing reflection. Over the past ten years, however, the demographic composition of the literary world created by Korean literature has gradually shifted from cisgender heterosexuals to characters where queerness, disability, and feminism intersect. Given that the visibility of queer identities begins wit...

The Most Remote Place Travelers Dream Of: Antarctica

Special Project   [New Ways of Walking Through Cities ⑦] The Most Remote Place Travelers Dream Of: Antarctica   2025.07.07       If you love traveling, you must have imagined yourself slowly making your way to Antarctica. No matter where you start from, it will be a long journey, but that is why there is no other place that stimulates curiosity as much as Antarctica. Antarctica is a unique and special place unlike any other. It is a much harsher environment for sustaining life than the Arctic, which is also a polar region. That is probably why so many people have ventured toward the barren South Pole. As a place that ignites the imagination and spirit of adventure, creative works set in Antarctica are all extraordinary. Characters who awaken something unknown or experience mysterious phenomena beyond understanding appear in these works. Readers readily accept such settings simply because the story is se...

Translating Moon Pops and the Rise of Universal Korean Picture Books

Export Case   Translating Moon Pops and the Rise ofUniversal Korean Picture Books   2025.07.07   When I first encountered Baek Hee-na’s Moon Pops (Storybowl), I didn’t think of it as a “Korean” picture book in the narrow sense. Rather, I felt I had been given a small, poetic universe that could speak to anyone?child or adult, regardless of where they live or what language they speak. The idea of the moon melting on a hot summer night and being scooped into popsicles by a kind grandmother is not only magical?it’s universally human. It captures longing, generosity, and wonder in a way that needs no cultural translation. And this, I believe, is the quiet power of today’s best Korean picture books: they carry the ability to transcend boundaries without ever flattening their identity.   English and Korean covers of Moon Pops     As a Professor of Korean Linguistic...
