Literature Beyond Borders
Translation, Cultural Dialogue, and Global Understanding
This event is designed in direct alignment with LTI Korea's Academic Exchange mandate, combining Korean literary discourse with FISIP UI's core academic strengths in social science and international relations. The program commemorates the diplomatic relations between Indonesia and the Republic of Korea, using Korean & Indonesian literature as a bridge for deeper cultural and intellectual engagement. Through scholarly sessions and an exhibition of Korean and Indonesian literary works, the event aims to foster academic dialogue, promotion of Korean & Indonesian (translated) literary works, and cultivate a new generation of Indonesian scholars and translators engaged with Korean culture.
This Program is funded by LTI Korea through the 2026 Korean Literary Research and Academic Exchange Grant.
