Books with Discourses on the Post-COVID-19 Era in Korea

Books with Discourses on the Post-COVID-19 Era in Korea The world after the pandemic 2020.08.03 Now, we can no longer live in the way we lived before. With the outbreak of COVID-19 across the world, people have begun to divide the era into two: BC (Before Corona) and AD (After Disease). This new infectious disease did not just kill innocent people , but is severing physical movement and interpersonal interaction. With the emergence of a contactless society, a massive shift is taking place in the society, economy, and politics.In the face of the pandemic, publishers are busy planning exclusive books about the COVID-19 era. Since March this year, books featuring the virus have been newly filling the shelves, adding new lines to the discourse so-called “post-COVID-19.” For faster publication of books, publishers chose to make them in the omnibus style, where writings of several specialists are combined in a single book. The unprecedented spread of the vi...

Publication Industry’s Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic

Publication Industry’s Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic 2020.07.13 Critique and composer Choi Jung-Woo said in his article “Era of Social Media: What is the Role of Humanities (The Kyunghyang Shinmun, December 18, 2012)” that Twitter and Facebook are referred to as bywords for modern “communication” but are never in the style of “dialogue,” and as such are paradoxically against the communicative function expected of them as “Social Networks.” He argued that Twitter is closer to laying out “testimonies” and that Facebook is more like an “exhibition” than being a platform for communication, and that with the two having more of a “monologue” characteristic, Social Media is having a negative impact on the development of humanities.Seven years and four months later, in his article “Humanities in the era of Social Media: The Gaze of Signs Emerging with Intervention (Giheok Heoui Vol. 504, January 20th, 2020)”, he once again claimed that “Even though t...

Writer Hwang Sunmi

Korean Authors Writer Hwang Sunmi 2021.09.06 Please introduce yourself to our readers. Hi. This is Hwang Sunmi. I write children and youth books. From when did you want to be a children’s book writer? When I was in the 6th grade of elementary school, I first read a storybook. I found out I couldn’t go to middle school at that time. The only way for me to accept that fact was to try to escape by reading books. So from reading books I then wanted to write interesting stories. I wanted to write for my whole life. I wanted to be that kind of person. That was how I was vaguely thinking at the time. Where do you get inspiration for writing? What gives me energy to write is life. And it is the events in the lives of people and their stories - good or bad. What inspires me What inspires me are the incidents happening among people. Did you have a memorable childhood? Everything is so vivid. From my ho...

Author-illustrator Lee Myoung Ae

Korean Authors Author-illustrator Lee Myoung Ae 2021.09.06 Please introduce yourself to our readers. I draw and write illustrated books. I’ve been making books for about 15 years now. I’m Lee Myoung Ae, an illustrated book author. When did you first dream of becoming a children’s book writer? I didn’t stand out academically. I was an ordinary child with nothing that particularly stood out about me. The first time I was praised for drawing I was in middle school. My art teacher recommended that I major in art. I thought about it a lot at that time What am I good at? What made me happiest? I decided that was painting. Do you have any particular habits? Whilst making illustrated books is my job, one of my habits is keeping a picture diary. Actually, people rarely do this after doing it in elementary school, but I think a picture diary where you can write and paint together is the most important habit one ca...
