#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
Korean social life continues to be influenced by cultural practices that distinguish insiders and outsiders. What do writers seek to achieve by depicting the experiences of people deemed outsiders? The totalising western worldview often fails to comprehend the nuances of social life in other countries. These writers discuss the complex social hierarchies of South Korea and the capacity of the written word to illuminate what it’s like to live on the margins. Curated by Sung-Ae Lee.
