Cho Young-il (Korean: 조영일; Hanja: 曺泳日; born 1973) is a South Korean literary critic, translator, and publishing editor.
Career
[edit]Cho grew up and lived in Gwangju until his mid-twenties, and received his Ph.D. from Sogang University with his dissertation titled "A Study on Student-Soldier Narratives". Cho began his critical career in 2006 when he published "The Poverty of Criticism: Yu Jong-ho and Haruki Murakami" in the literary journal Munye Joongang. He is the planning translator of the Kōjin Karatani Collection and has planned and edited numerous major publishing projects, including the Encyclopedia of Contemporary Philosophy (5 vols.), the Complete Works of Osamu Dazai (10 vols.), the Kōjin Karatani Library (Vigo), the JDC Saga series(Vigo) by Ryūsui Seiryōin, the Shigehiko Hasumi Library(Vigo), critical works by Walter Benjamin, and fiction by Ōtarō Maijō and Ranpo Edogawa. He previously operated the humanities café Bipy'onggowon (비평고원; Critique Plateau).[1]
He participated in the debate on "The End of Modern Literature" and has engaged in various critical controversies in Korean literary discourse[2], including a critique of Shin Hyeong-cheol's first collection of criticism The Ethics of Decline[3], and a debate with novelist Kim Young-ha on "the survival of the artist"[4]
International Recognition
[edit]In July 2016, a chapter from The Structure of World Literature was introduced in the Japanese literary journal Bungakukai under the title "How Do Koreans Read Shiba Ryōtarō?", attracting attention from Japanese critics. Kōjin Karatani also contributed an essay titled "On The Structure of World Literature".[5] Cho contributed an essay titled "Kōjin Karatani and Korean Literature Reconsidered" to Genron 4. Later, Cho was also interviewed by the Japanese literary journal Subaru (February 2017) under the title "Becoming Free from Literature," and published essays in Bungakukai (March 2020) and Subaru (June 2020). Upon the publication of the Japanese edition of The Structure of World Literature, prominent critics including Ryōta Fukushima wrote essays highly praising the work.[6] Recently, he contributed an essay offering a critique of both the Korean state's active sponsorship of literary globalization and the system of the Nobel Prize in Literature.[7]
