Boundless appreciation
Description
Book Introduction
A Teacher's Reference Book that Can Be Applied Immediately to Real-World Classes
A must-read for students that will improve their skills in all subjects, starting with Korean.
A Citizen's Guide to Social Life
From literature and film to online content and daily records,
The most active act connecting me with the world
ㆍIs a restaurant review also something to enjoy?
ㆍWhich review should we 'like'?
ㆍIs what we read a work or a text?
ㆍWhy is it necessary to read and overlap texts?
ㆍHow can reading together lead to deeper reading?
We live in a world where anyone can publish their own 'impressions'.
Humans are inherently storytellers, a trait that has only grown stronger in the digital age.
People engage in endless conversations, expressing and sharing what they see and feel across small mobile phone screens and various platforms.
Expressing and sharing feelings is not a special thing.
From book reviews, one of the most familiar writing styles, to movie reviews, performance reviews, and restaurant reviews, appreciation permeates every aspect of our daily lives.
One sentiment evokes another, and these small waves overlap to create a large resonance.
If you go to YouTube, you can find a lot of content that explores movies that became global hits and the cultures that inspired them.
All of this starts from our daily appreciation of aesthetic objects, that is, examining them and evaluating their value.
Our ordinary daily lives are what drive culture.
Appreciation has long occupied an important place in literary education.
This is because appreciation is an act that leads readers to meaningfully encounter a work and share the resonance they have experienced.
Texts in this era are no longer limited to literary works or printed materials.
From movies and dramas to performances, online content, and even records of our daily lives, we find poetic and narrative elements not only in what we read but also in what we see, and we share our appreciations within them at an unprecedented pace and volume.
In this era of changing times, the authors seek to reexamine the essence of appreciation through this book, “Appreciation Without Boundaries.”
The authors say that appreciation is not simply about writing down feelings, but rather about capturing the inspiration of the moment and connecting it to life. To do so, it involves holding onto one's thoughts for a long time, refining their resonance into words, and sharing them with others.
In other words, appreciation requires the reader's own proactive exploration and effort, and it also involves conveying one's resonance to others and persuading them to empathize with it.
Through this book, the authors sought to demonstrate that appreciation is not simply an expression of taste, but rather an active act that connects the self with the world, the individual with the community.
Appreciation is the most universal way to reflect on life and listen to each other's stories.
So expressing feelings may be the oldest way to exist together rather than alone.

Publisher's Review
From the outline of the word 'appreciation'
Up to 'reading together'
Chapter 1 begins with the question, “What is appreciation?” and reveals that appreciation is not a simple feeling [感想], but an act [鑑賞] that includes thought and reflection.
The authors say that appreciation is a conscious act of reflecting oneself and the world through an object, and is not simply a matter of receiving information; it is likened to a "dance" rather than a "hunt."
Reading is not about gaining knowledge, but rather about cultivating the mind and expanding the world.
Appreciation is distinct from understanding, interpretation, and criticism, but it is completed as a subjective act of delicately reading the language of a work and expressing one's own emotions and worldview.
It also explains the process of discovering questions and seeking answers through dialogue with the author, characters, and other readers through the work, leading to self-reflection and ethical enlightenment.
Ultimately, the authors emphasize that appreciation is a mirror that reflects one's own mind and the times, and an act of thought that connects art and life.
Chapter 2 presents two processes for entering the world of appreciation.
In 'Climbing the Stairs of Appreciation', we examine what it takes for appreciation to elicit empathy from others.
Appreciation is an experience that comes alive the moment we express and share what we feel after seeing a work of art, and in online spaces, it creates social meaning through interactions such as ratings, comments, and likes.
However, a persuasive appreciation is not simply an honest or individual expression, but rather comes from an appreciation that deeply understands the context and overall meaning of the work.
In 'Experiencing the Spectrum of Appreciation,' we reveal that the reason we can encounter diverse appreciations lies in the process of reading the lines, between the lines, and behind the scenes of a work.
Appreciation extends beyond simple interpretation to 'text reading', becoming a creative act in which the reader fills in the gaps in the work and constructs new meaning. The authors say that active appreciation, which involves reading between the lines and the underlying meaning, reveals the philosophical themes and depth of human experience in the work, and demonstrates that appreciation is a conduit of thought that connects art and life.
Chapter 3 presents a toolbox for appreciation.
Here, we cover reading while examining the context of the work as a way to appreciate it, reading while understanding others and oneself, reading and overlapping texts, and reading together while having a conversation.
These are methods based on the idea that appreciation is both a personal and social act.
Appreciation begins with understanding the author's intention and context, but is reconstructed through the reader's experience and the changing times.
As in the examples of Lee Jo-nyeon's "Dajeongga" and the poem of the gisaeng Maehwa, and the film "Next Sohee," the conclusion of appreciation changes when considering the social and historical background of the work.
However, context is not an absolute criterion, and the authors say that the range of appreciation broadens when one enjoys ambiguity and multiple meanings.
Literature simultaneously fosters empathy for others and self-understanding, and intertextual appreciation, where one text is 'interwoven and overlapped' with another, allows us to reread the world and life beyond the boundaries of the work.
Ultimately, the authors emphasize that appreciation is a journey of thought that connects art and reality, discovering oneself through the language of others.
Korean Language Life with 'Concepts' (10 Volumes, Part 1)
"Conceptual Korean Language Life" is a publication by the Korean Language Education Society, Korea's first, best, and largest academic organization. To celebrate its 70th anniversary (launched as the "Korean Language Education Research Society" in 1955), the Society selects and publishes 20 of the most important "concepts" in Korean language education to summarize its academic achievements to date. The publication plan is to begin with the first 10 volumes in 2025, with the remaining 10 volumes to be completed in 2026.
This series was centered around the next generation of Korean language education scholars who will lead the Korean language education field and teachers who are leading the Korean language education field. It was planned with the goal of providing practical help not only to teachers and students in school education, but also to contribute to the language life of ordinary citizens by writing easy-to-understand content on the 'concepts' that are important in Korean language education.
