초록/요약
The Literature Translation Institute of Korea (LTI Korea) was established in 2001 with the aim of globalizing Korean literature. As the efforts undertaken by the institute over the last two decades have begun to come to the fore, the awareness of and demand for Korean literature have been increasing in the global publishing market. Moreover, Korean writers have won prestigious literary awards worldwide, while modern, contemporary, and classical works of Korean literature have been published in many languages. Based on a thorough analysis of the LTI Korea Annual Reports between 2001 and 2019, this paper examines LTI Korea’s four major achievements: Translation Grant Program, Publication Grants for Foreign Publishers, Fostering Professional Translators of Korean Literature, and Information Management of Korean Literature. This article discusses the programs that LTI Korea has planned, operated, and improved in each area to select excellent Korean literary works, produce quality translations, and introduce them across the world. It also explores the challenges facing LTI Korea today and proposes future direction for the institute.
