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...

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.   ...

Models for Supporting Connections between Local Bookstores and Libraries

Knowledge   Models for Supporting Connectionsbetween Local Bookstores and Libraries   2025.10.02   The publishing market is said to be facing increasing difficulties day by day. The most fundamental problem is the decline in the reading rate - in other words, the shrinking number of readers. However, rather than lamenting the decrease in readers, now is the time to make efforts to sustain and expand the readership. Then, what are the things that move most closely with readers for the promotion of reading? Libraries and local bookstores. According to the Value-Added Tax Act Article 8 of the Publishing Industry Promotion Act, a local bookstore refers to a bookstore that registers as a retail business for books and is operated by a small or medium-sized enterprise in accordance with Article 2 of the Framework Act on Small and Medium Enterprises. In this article, however, the term “local bookstore” encompasses independent bookstores, curated bookstores, and concept...

Every chapter of human history bears its share of scars?wars, invasions, and natural disasters. In Sicily, those scars are carved deeper and are easier to see. In the 8th century BCE, the island was settled by the Greeks; later, it became a Roman province, remembered as the granary of the empire.

By the 9th century, it had become an Islamic emirate; in the late 11th century, the Normans seized it and founded the Kingdom of Sicily. For the next 200 years, the island was ruled by the Normans, followed by roughly 400 yea...
