    Profile

    • Profile

      My previous work concerned media and cultural psychological approaches, concentrating on the uses and gratifications of Japanese and German users of the so-called boys’ love genre. Subsequently, I focused on the dynamics of inclusion and exclusion, affect and subject formation in networked communities of interest, the agency of stereotypes, and of cultural mediators within the transcultural sphere of role-playing games. Currently, my research deals with learning effects and how live-action role-playing can be employed not only for therapeutic means but also for the presentation of research results.
      This research builds on the expertise I gained in Japanese Studies but seeks to overcome the “nation-state default mode” of studying culture, which has brought me to the interdisciplinary field of transculturality.
      As the principal investigator of the KAKENHI project "Transcultural Learning through Simulated Co-Presence: How to Realize Other Cultures and Life-Worlds,” I explored live-action role-play as a means to raise awareness about marginalized “others” and assist with creating understanding through first-person experiences. Currently, I continue this work as the lead-coordinator of a project on role-playing and climate change (ECLIPSE).
