Two Ways to Read Spring in April

One-Liner Quotes   Two Ways to Read Spring in April Columnist’s Pick   2024.05.07   Former journalist for Elle and Esquire, Min Yong-Jun is a freelance columnist, appearing on TV, lecturing, and writing. He wrote Yesterday’s Film, Today’s Director, and Tomorrow’s Conversation (Zene Scene), a collection of interviews he had with 13 directors.   The seasons are always honest and dutiful - they do what they must when the time comes, without hesitation. In spring, it sows what it has to, blooms what it has to, and declares another cycle of seasons to begin again. Spring is always an invigorating and promising season, as if giving those who have missed the start of a new year a second chance to get back on the starting line. Although we often say that spring begins in March, it is usually April when we can truly enjoy it. So, I have selected 2 books that I think are perfect for April, when spring fully blooms.   ...

Warm Hope in a Cold City

Book Trip   [Into the Book ⑧] Warm Hope in a Cold City Jongno-gu, Seoul: What’s still with us today   2024.03.11   One Hundred Shadows       As I thought Mujae was somehow looking shady when he said, “Don’t follow shadows,” I strained my eyes and looked again, and there was a sunshower falling like a spider’s web.     Hwang Jung-Eun’s first full-length novel, One Hundred Shadows (Changbi), is the story of Eunkyo and Mujae, two characters working in an electronics store in the center of the city. The cold cityscape and the old, desolate electronics mall are the backdrop of the novel, but the two protagonists’ youthful love story is what makes this novel so appealing, with just the right amount of heaviness and lightness. Also, the story of “shadows” in the title is not to be missed - the unrealistic occurrence of shadows rising up on their own is very familiar in the novel’s worldview. The separa...

Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ④ Social Science Publications

Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ④ Social Science Publications   2020.05.04     The 1980s were the golden age for social science publications in the Korean publishing industry. Under the ruling of the new military dictatorship, it was social science books and their readers that took the lead in the overall social transformation through intense democratic and labor movements. The books were the texts of social movement and transformation. Bookstores specialized in social science books, though most of them cannot be found today, thrived next to colleges across the nation. With the “announcement of democratization” in 1987, Seoul Olympics in 1988, and the establishment of a civilian government in 1993, Korea has been pursuing cultural diversity amidst the paradigm shifts of political democratization, globalization, and becoming an information society, positioning itself as a responsible member of the international community. Social ...

Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ② History Publication

Current status of each field in the Korean publishing market ② History Publication   2020.03.02     The publication industry is “a mirror called record” that reflects the society. The publication of history-related books that are the archive of time and space connecting the past and the present is a clear indicator that shows Korean society’s interest in history. By looking at the published titles, best seller trends, and newly emerging trends, you can see where the current publishing market is and where the intellectual desire of readers is heading to.Historically, Korea has undergone long turbulent generations due to its geopolitical location in East Asia and invasions by surrounding powers. Until World War II in which liberalization was the greatest task, ethnic identity was very strong, and during the Cold War, a historical awareness that the two Koreas should overcome division and pursue reunification settled down.According to the statistics of the Korean Publi...

Discussions on public lending rights and tasks ahead

Discussions on public lending rights and tasks ahead   2019.09.09   Public lending rights (PLR) refer to the rights authors, and other original content creators have in regards to books that are loaned to the public by institutions like public libraries. PLR is a credit-type right to claim compensation in order to make up for losses the content creator may face due to the lending of their book by libraries to the public. It is not a real proprietary right that has the power to permit or ban the use of the published work itself.   Countries that have adopted PLR   Nearly all the countries that have PLR are in Europe because the program implementation was made mandatory as part of a European Community (EC) agreement.   PLR was first adopted by Denmark in 1946 and enforced by other European countries slowly after then. As of August 2019, 33 countries around the world have implemented this program (some state 35 countrie...
