Șipoș \n  \nVolumul de față include romanul Decădere umană\, urmat de patru povestiri emblematice pentru personalitatea literară a celui care și-a pus amprenta asupra culturii nipone postbelice: Amintiri (Omoide\, 1933)\, Eleva (Joseito\, 1939)\, O sută de vederi ale Muntelui Fuji (Fugaku hyakkei\, 1939)\, Opt scene din Tōkyō (Tōkyō hakkei\, 1941). Lucrare reprezentativă a literaturii japoneze postbelice\, Decădere umană este o carte-cult atât pentru publicul nipon\, cât și pentru cititorii de pretutindeni. Folosind convenția jurnalelor găsite\, cartea trasează destinul artistului Yōzō Ōba\, a cărui viață este marcată de inadecvare\, eșec\, alienare și disperare. \n  \nUn eveniment al secției de japoneză din cadrul Facultății de Litere\, Istorie și Teologie (Universitatea de Vest din Timișoara)\, Centrul de Studii Est-Asiatice și Librăria La Două Bufnițe. \n  \n \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:The Japanese Language Club of the Center for East Asian Studies - first university-wide activity on December 15 2025
DESCRIPTION:The Japanese Language Club of the Center for East Asian Studies met for its first university-wide activity on December 15. The club members invited all West University of Timisoara students to watch together a classic of anime\, director Miyazaki Hayao’s Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi (Spirited Away). Club members\, the students of the Japanese Language and Literature Program of the Faculty of Letters\, History\, Philosophy\, and Theology\, were joined by students from other faculties who were eager to rewatch the beloved Miyazaki masterpiece and gained a different perspective on it. The movie and the discussion that followed turned into a wonderful opportunity for everyone to delve deeper into Japanese society and animation\, especially cultural topics and elements that make the work a commentary on contemporary Japan. \n
