AB - This paper attempts to examine the discourse on “the double project of modernity,” propounded by Paik Nak-chung, a towering presence for decades in the Korean literary scene and the civil movements as well. He presents the doctrine of “the double project of simultaneously adapting to and overcoming modernity” in an international conference in 1998, an idea always working in a seminal state behind his critical works from the late 1960s. In the 1990s, however, having come to realize the systemic nature of the national division of Korea, Paik begins to give a full account of how we will overcome the national division: we have to create a kind of flexible confederation between North and South Korea that will enable us to carry out the double project of modernity. Under the current escalating political and military tensions on the Korean peninsula, it is of particular importance for academics in Korean higher education to address challenges Paik’s discourse poses.
