Diverse Ways to Love Books

Diverse Ways to Love Books   2018.06.28   Dubbed the ‘oldest form of media’, books have been handed ‘death sentences’ with every new appearance of technology. As the use of Internet spread and ‘new media’ shook up the media world along with social networking sites, many forecast a gloomy end to books, saying they would no longer be able to function as a medium to communicate and deliver knowledge. With the appearance of e-books, these doomsayers only found more ground to base their projections upon. One new technology after another seemed to bring the death of books closer.However, these concerns have proved to be unfounded worries based on a number of reasons. One would be a research study that shows content read from physical books is remembered longer than information read online, and readers who have already viscerally realized this are seeking out physical books.Internet broadcast channels like YouTube and podcasts were also seen as threats to books.

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...
