Speech and Literature were the weapons of women

Speech and Literature were the weapons of women Status of Korean feminism and changes made in the Korean publishing industry since 2015   2020.03.02     There is no such thing as “Korean Feminism.” Yet, there is a history of Korean feminism fighting against the deep-seated hatred against women in society. The year 2015 is likely to be recorded as the most important period in the Korean history of feminism. In January, a Korean teenage boy who sought to join the Islamic State in Syria lamented that men are being discriminated against, voicing his hatred of women. In February, a pop culture journalist, male, published a column titled “Anencephalous feminism is more dangerous than ISIS” in a fashion magazine. This triggered women’s joint criticism of his comment and subsequently initiated feminist activism via the (hashtag) #iamafeminist on Twitter in South Korea. Later that year, a Korean rapper released a controversial song about his hate against women...

Book Factory Dubulu

Book Factory Dubulu One-person Publisher for Animal Rights   2018.05.30   The South Korean public's interest in animals is growing by the day. More people are recognizing animals must be protected and as many celebrities join the movement it is far from a foreign concept now. However, this trend didn't appear naturally. Society is only changing because of someone's desperate cries and actions for change from when no one thought about animal preservation. Book Factory Dubulu, founded in 2006, is one of those entities who sought change. The publisher created momentum for change in people's thoughts and actions as they consistently published books on animals. There are few publishers that specialize in books on animals but even fewer that touch on animal rights. We became interested in how this publisher was able to operate their business for 13 years and why. Surrounded by sleeping cats, we met with founder Kim Bo-kyung and listened to the publisher's story.     KPIP...
