George T. Sipos

George T. Sipos is a Visiting Professor in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures. His research focuses on Japanese literature, translation studies, and political conversion phenomena in transwar contexts. He specializes in analyzing ideological shifts in 20th-century works, particularly exploring Soviet influence on Japanese writers and the interplay between culture and political identity.

His work bridges Japanese and Romanian literatures, examining cross-cultural exchanges and the role of translation in transmitting cultural values. Key themes include authorship, narrative identity, and the socio-political dimensions of literary expression. Sipos has contributed to understanding how texts mediate between individual experience and collective ideologies.

Recent publications highlight intercultural diversity in education, the role of affect in proletarian literature, and comparative studies of literary propaganda mechanisms. He frequently addresses modernist tendencies and historical contextualization in post-Meiji and Soviet-era works.
