Summary/Abstract: Book revies of: CODRUȚA SÎNTIONEAN, IMAGINARUL CULTURAL AL OGLINZII ÎN ASIA DE EST [THE CULTURAL IMAGINARY OF THE MIRROR IN EAST ASIA], BUCUREȘTI: PRO UNIVERSITARIA, 2025, 290 P. In Romania, the growing interest in East Asian cultures over the past few decades has become apparent not only in the increasing popularity of a wide variety of cultural products and consumer goods, ranging from literature and auteur cinema to donghua, manga, C-dramas, K-dramas and K-pop, cosmetics or cuisine, but also in the integration of extracurricular activities and language courses into the Romanian pre-university education system, as well as in the establishment of language and literature degree programs at several Romanian universities. Within this context, Codruța Sîntionean’s Imaginarul cultural al oglinzii în Asia de Est [The Cultural Imaginary of the Mirror in East Asia], recently published by Pro Universitaria, is a most welcome addition to the Romanian cultural and academic landscape.
