2006 |
| This program focuses on the works written
in the first 100 years of Korea's early modern period and celebrates
the writers who pioneered modern Korean literature so ardently while
living the upheavals of the Japanese oppression and Liberation. Beginning
in 2001, each year it commemorates writers born 100 years before in
collaboration with the Association of Writers for National Literature,
and in 2006 those writers included Gang Gyeong-ae, Kim O-nam, Eom
Heung-seop, Yu Jin-o, Yi Jeong-ho, Yi Ju-hong, Yi Ha-yun, Jo Jong-hyeon,
Choi Jeong-hui etc. A symposium was held and other subsidiary events
were held that brought together members of the writers' families and
the general public. A special symposium devoted to Yi Ju-hong was
sponsored, while a collection of studies on Gang Gyeong-ae by scholars
from South and North Korea was published for the first time, to commemorate
100th anniversary of the writer's birth. Also, a chronological record
and bibliography of studies was established and published with the
papers from the symposium. |
