I teach Modern Japanese Literature and Media at Waseda University.
- Traduir Zeami per a aquesta antologia ha estat un exercici molt interessant. Per deformació professional, estic acostumat a cercar sempre la lectura històrica dels textos, intentant entendre què volien dir en el seu context, i parant atenció a no imposar-hi interpretacions anacròniques.
- Molt content de sentir que ja ha sortit _Especulacions sobre l'escena_ (Ed. Institut del Teatre), una antologia de textos de teoria dramàtica per a la que vaig traduir una secció del tractat sobre Noh _Fūshikaden_ de Zeami.

- I keep finding this trope of the alien hive mind in recent SF novels by A. Tchaikovsky, A. Martine, E. Ashton, etc. If you have observed this as well, I'd be very interested to know why you think that might be or, at least, what other recent cultural developments you think it might be connected to.

- Llegint una antologia de contes de terror de Kadokawa m’he trobat amb aquesta petita joia que Inoue Masahiko (1960) va escriure el 1983 per al premi de micro-ficció Hoshi Shin’ichi, organitzat per Kōdansha. No m’he pogut estar de traduir-la per compartir-la amb vosaltres.

- At EAJS in Sendai this weekend, and thanks to Prof. Till Weingärtner (Cork), I found out about シルバー川柳, a yearly prize given by the 全国有料老人ホーム協会 for senryū about the everyday lives of senior citizens. My favorite so far (mostly because of the 本歌取り from 金子みすゞ): 「パスワード みんな違って みんなダメ」
