Literary Critic Professor Son Yu-gyeong, 33rd Kim Hwan-tae Literary Criticism Award
[Asia Economy Reporter Seomideum] Professor Son Yookyung of Seoul National University’s critical essay collection, Osmotic Sentences: The Gender Map of Korean Literature, has been selected as the winner of the 33rd Kim Hwan-tae Literary Criticism Award.
Literary critic Professor Son Yookyung is a respected senior scholar praised for her balanced perspective and meticulous insight. Her work, Osmotic Sentences, is regarded as a significant study that fairly evaluates the problematic aspects of various texts thrown from a marginal position toward the center of literary power. In particular, it has been acclaimed for overturning familiar texts from a feminist viewpoint and delicately analyzing their meanings.
The judging committee of the Kim Hwan-tae Literary Criticism Award stated in their evaluation that Professor Son’s winning work greatly contributes to enriching the history of Korean novels by newly interpreting the structure of gender narratives.
The award ceremony will be held at 10:30 AM on the 12th of next month in the video room of the ‘Kim Hwan-tae Literature Museum & Choi Buk Art Museum’ (15 Choibuk-ro, Muju-eup, Muju-gun, Jeonbuk).
