Three Titles Published by Ewha Womans University Press Selected as 2025 Sejong Books

Three books published by Ewha Womans University Press have been selected as “2025 Sejong Books.” The Sejong Books Program is an annual initiative commissioned by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and administered by the Publication Industry Promotion Agency of Korea to promote publishers’ commitment to producing high-quality books and to foster a national reading culture by selecting and distributing outstanding titles in the academic and general interest categories. [Social Sciences Division]  Attention Disobedience: Reclaiming Control over Digital Media Attention (Author: Professor Kim Young-wook, Division of Communication and Media Studies) is a scholarly work in communication and media studies that analyzes how digital media dominate contemporary life and examines the underlying mechanisms behind this phenomenon. The book offers guidelines and alternatives for restoring genuine desire and democratic values in an era saturated with digital attention. The author critically explores how digital attention is commodified and exploited, the economic and social problems that arise from this process, and calls for active civic participation to break free from structures of attention exploitation and to drive social change. [Arts Division]  A History of Parisian Urban Architecture 2: The Age of Revolution and Empire (Author: Professor Lim Seok-jae, Department of Architecture) is a comprehensive study of the dynamic development of urban architecture in Paris from the early 18th century, beginning with the reign of Louis XV, through the establishment of the Third Republic. Focusing on the 18th and 19th centuries, the book examines the evolution and transformation of urban architecture, the formation and reorganization of urban structures, and key architectural landmarks representing each era, including the Panthéon, the Odéon Theatre, customs houses, the Paris Opera House, and the Eiffel Tower. Through these examples, it explores the history of modern Parisian urban architecture and interprets its historical significance. [Literature Division]  Offstage in French Theatre (Author: Professor Emeritus Kim Do-hoon) is a research monograph that identifies pivotal moments in the history of French theatre when the status of the “offstage” became a subject of debate, and analyzes the historical origins and aesthetic significance of these controversies within theatre history. The book further examines the ideological and intellectual background of these issues by relating them to humanism emerging after the Renaissance, the Enlightenment of the 18th century, Romanticism of the 19th century, and phenomenology of the 20th century. Through a consistent argument that reality is not non-theatrical but rather hyper-theatrical, the author demonstrates a shift in perspective, suggesting that discussions of theatre should also begin offstage.
