[Dialogue] Making the World Equal through Equal Process: An Interview with Rebecca Solnit / Paik Young-Gyung
The Quarterly Changbi 178, Winter 2017
Abstract
In Dialogue, Paik Young-Gyung, standing member at the editorial board, has a thought-provoking conversation with Rebecca Solnit, the feminist activist and author, whose book, The Mother of All Questions, has been translated in Korean recently. Solnit points out that feminist movement should be a project for men as well as for women, and it is basically inseparable from other social movements. Their talk covers a range of inspiring topics from the feminist reboot phenomenon erupted in the process of the Candlelight protests to anti-nuclear/environmental campaigns, and from reflections on American history and tradition to current political situations in the US and South Korea. Writing as a way to explore potentials for solidarity arising even from the scenes of suffering and disasters is given a special emphasis in the interview.
