As world literature has emerged as a powerful force leading the publishing market, multilingual situations have been overlooked, and English-centered monolingual literature has become dominant.

The experts participating in this academic conference will revisit the conflicts and tensions that arise when world literature and translation intervene, identifying aspects that can help newly understand the current monolingual world literature.

Through this, they plan to seek new directions and discuss how world literature and translation can contribute to broader cultural understanding and interaction beyond the illusion of monolingualism.
