In this beautiful new book, Dr. Youngna Kim draws on her vast understanding of Korean art to provide an overview of the peninsula’s contemporary art scene. Korean artists have become increasingly active at an international level, with many being invited for residencies and exhibitions all over the world. Nonetheless, for various reasons, the general understanding of Korean contemporary art remains insufficient. Korean Art since 1945: Challenges and Changes (Brill, 2024) is volume 9 in the series Modern Asian Art and Visual Culture. The book draws on primary sources to discuss the ideological stakes that affected the art world, modernist art vs. political art, and the fluidity of concepts such as tradition and national identity. Moreover, the book also has a chapter on the art of North Korea. The book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in Korean studies or contemporary art. Dr. Youngna Kim is Professor Emerita of the Department of Archaeology and Art History at Seoul National University and was the Director of the National Museum of Korea from 2011 until 2016. Dr. Kim received her bachelor’s degree from Muhlenberg College and her Ph.D. in the History of Art from The Ohio State University. She has many publications to her name about Korea’s ever-evolving art scene. Buy Youngna Kim’s new book about Korean art before independence (only available in Korean) here. Leslie Hickman is a translator and writer. She has an MA in Korean Studies from Yonsei University and lives in Seoul, South Korea. You can follow her activities at https://twitter.com/AJuseyo.

Where language breaks, art begins. Language routinely fails us in conversations about art and creativity. In the following essay, I elaborate on the reason for this problem and offer three terms which can help give more depth and clarity to our discussions of art. The three primary experiential aspects of art: Art-making: verb, a creative act that results in an art-object. Art-object: noun, a material or immaterial byproduct of art-making. Artessence: noun, the state of mind of an art experience. ∞∞∞∞∞ Read the essay in its original written form here: https://mjdorian.com/language/ ∞∞∞∞∞ Support Creative Codex on my Patreon and get access to exclusive episodes, including the LIMITED RELEASE SERIES (Kurt Cobain & Jim Morrison), the Red Book Reading series, and all the Episode Exclusives:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/mjdorian⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Buy me a coffee or add to my fancy books fund on Venmo: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://venmo.com/code?user_id=3235189073379328069&created=1681912456.228596&printed=1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ----------- All Music by MJDorian Written & Produced by MJDorian ———— Connect with me on social media for all the newest updates: YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/creativecodex⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mjdorian/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/mjdorian⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@mjdorian⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ --------- Creative Codex is written & produced by MJDorian.

She emphasizes the need for diverse stories that reflect the experiences of Native people and dispel stereotypes. Traci also shares her writing process and the significance of incorporating Cherokee language and culture in her books. She encourages readers to connect with one another through stories and use their gifts and abilities to foster understanding and empathy. More information about this episode, including a discount code for purchasing Traci's books through Bookelicious, can be found at librarygirl.net Takeaways Representation in literature is crucial for marginalized communities, as it allows readers to see themselves and their experiences reflected in stories. Incorporating diverse perspectives and cultures in books helps dispel stereotypes and fosters empathy and understanding. The writing process varies for each author, but it often involves considering the structure, format, and through line of the story. Seeking feedback from critique groups, cultural experts, and language translators can enhance the authenticity and accuracy of storytelling. Language reclamation and preservation are essential for Native communities, and publishing books in native languages helps promote cultural identity and understanding. Storytelling has the power to connect people, bridge gaps, and promote empathy, making it a vital tool for building a more inclusive and compassionate society.

Episode 321 | Mathias Döpfner, CEO of Axel Springer SE, joins Scott Miller for an discussion on the decline of democracy around the world and the need for a new approach to trade policy. Mathias argues that the old paradigm of "change through trade" has actually strengthened non-democratic countries and weakened democracies, suggesting that an alliance of democratic countries, starting with the transatlantic alliance, could create a powerful force for change and fair trade. He emphasizes other countries that should be included in this alliance and the need for consistency in business decisions that support democratic values.

Farnaz Fatemi and Julia Chiapella read poems by Palestinian poets and those of Palestinian heritage to amplify and bear witness to the range of their perspectives and the richness of these voices. We found the reading of these aloud to each other to be profoundly moving. Please see the extensive show notes for links to the poets, their books, many more we couldn’t include on the show and other recent resources.   In this order--Fadwa Tuqan, Lena Khalaf Tuffaha, Zeina Azzam, Mahmoud Darwish, Mosab Abu Toha, Maya Abu Al-Hayyat, Noor Hindi, Naomi Shihab Nye were featured on the show.    We mentioned the following anthologies during this hour: We Call to the Eye & the Night: Love Poems by Writers of Arab Heritage (Zeina Hashem Beck and Hala Alyan, editors); & Modern Arabic Poetry (Salma Khadra Jayyusi, editor).  Since recording our episode a week ago, the Palestinian academic and poet ⁠Refaat Alareer⁠ was killed in Gaza; we want to bring attention to the ⁠story of this poem, his last⁠.  We additionally want to highlight the work of Deema K Shehabi, George Abraham, Nathalie Khankan, and Fady Joudah (also see Joudah’s recent “meditation”), among many, many others. For one additional resource about poets, see the Instagram account, The Palestinian Poetry Project, poetrypalestine.   The LA Review of Books recently published a small folio of writing from poets of Palestinian heritage.   We recommend Palestinian Poets on the Role of Literature in Fighting Genocide. Vox Populi published a “ceasefire cento” solicited from poets globally. You can read it here.
