Limited Edition 〈인간선언: Homo duduri〉

Limited Edition 『인간선언 𝐻𝑜𝑚𝑜 𝑑𝑢𝑑𝑢𝑟𝑖』

A special limited-edition publication created each year in response to the theme of the Seoul International Book Fair, Limited Edition.

For the 2026 edition, eleven writers respond in their own voices to this year’s theme, <인간선언 𝐻𝑜𝑚𝑜 𝑑𝑢𝑑𝑢𝑟𝑖>, through fiction, poetry, and essays. In a world shaped by conflict, war, and the emergence of artificial intelligence as a new form of existence, we once again find ourselves facing the timeless question: What does it mean to be human?

Like duduri, the blacksmith of myth, perhaps human beings are creatures who continue to forge, strike, and create despite our incompleteness and flaws. This year’s Limited Edition becomes a special record of human fragility and possibility — an exploration of creation, coexistence, and what it means to move forward together through different voices and perspectives.

Now, what is your question?
