초록

literary space and her discussion of the role of translating mediators,this study examines the current position of Korean web novels withinthe global literary field, as well as the role of translation mediatorsin facilitating their movement from the periphery to the center. The analysis demonstrates that web novels display characteristics thatdiverge markedly from literary norms. Rather than relying ontraditional forms of literary capital, they are more strongly shaped bycommercial success and market principles. Web novels thus emergeas a genre in which digital platforms play a highly visible andinfluential mediating role. With regard to the translation of Koreanweb novels, the findings reveal that the role of ‘ordinary mediators’,who receive limited attention in Casanova’s model, is particularlysalient in this context. At the same time, web novel platforms, whichpossess considerable literary and symbolic capital in the eyes ofreaders and fans, play a crucial part in the circulation andlegitimization of these works. This study ultimately argues that theemergence of new literary forms such as web novels calls for areconsideration and partial revision of established theories of worldliterature.
