Korean contemporary literature

It is with great excitement that Terrapolis and LTI Korea present four of the most prominent Korean writers:

Lee Seung-U, Pyun Hye Young, Kyung-sook Shin and Kim Yong Taik.

They will appear in conversation with Danish writers Eva Tind and Maja Lee Langvad. The conversations will, among other tings, revolve around topics such as care and exposedness, motherhood and belonging, feminism and literary commitment to ecological problems.

Barbara Wall, assistant professor at the University of Copenhagen, will initiate the seminar with an introduction to contemporary Korean fiction and will moderate the conversations.

In connection with the seminar, an anthology will be published with excerpts – in Danish – from works by Lee Seung-U, Pyun Hye Young, Kyung-sook Shin and Kim Yong Taik. The translations are done by translators from Korean Studies, the University of Copenhagen, and literary edited by Maja Lee Langvad. Everyone attending the seminar will be provided with a copy of the anthology.

The seminar is free of charge and is supported by LTI Korea.

Light meals will be served.
