An international academic conference on modernism and comparative literature was held at Chonnam National University (CNU) on May 8th. The conference was co-hosted by the International Association of Comparative Korean Studies (IACKS) and the British and American Studies Institute (BASI) of CNU. It was entitled “Lee Sang and Modernism” to celebrate the centenary of Lee Sang’s birth. He is a representative poet of the modern Korean era. Participants presented their papers and discussed Lee Sang’s works and compared them with other literary works from Japan and the United States. President of IACKS, Dr. Lee So-hee said, “The purpose of this conference is to generate a common awareness among those studying Koreanology (IACKS) and those studying British/American culture (BASI).” Because the two host organizations study social and human sciences, they expect this conference to benefit advancement in both fields.
