A Giant of the Humanities in Korea: Literary Critic Kim Uchang Author's Profile By Lee Kyung-ho on Oct 19 2014 17:11:09 Vol.20 Summer 2013 Kim Uchang has enormous influence and respect as a literary critic and thinker. In this interview, he discusses the state of Korean literature in translation and the condition of literature itself in today’s media saturated environment. Lee Kyung-ho: It’s so good to see you. It’s been a while. I heard that you were participating in the Tokyo International Book Fair this July. I understand you’ll be having a discussion on Korean Japanese philosophies with the renowned Japanese literary critic Karatani Kojin as part of the book fair. Karatani has expressed a keen interest in Korean literature, and created quite a stir among Korean critics with his unique view on the “death of modern literature.” What are your thoughts on the view that the traditional sociopolitical role held by contemporary literature is becoming irrelevant or altered?
