Countermeasures Against Cyberbullying and the Smartphone Summit  |  Wed, June 18, 2025, 16.15–17.45 h at Essen Campus, Room S06 S02 B06
Lecture co-organized with the Department of Intercultural Psychology – Migration and Integration (Prof. Philipp Jugert), University of Duisburg-Essen.

Yuichi Toda is Professor at Osaka Kyoiku University, Kashiwara (Osaka Pref.).

Abstract:
The issue of cyberbullying is related not only to traditional forms of bullying but also to problems such as internet addiction, juvenile delinquency, and victimization through crimes committed by adults online, including grooming.
While many researchers and leading practitioners tend to focus on specific aspects of these problems, in school settings, it often seems more effective to address them comprehensively.
Together with my colleagues, I have supported an initiative called the “Smartphone Summit.” This is not an approach where adults identify the reality and impose countermeasures; rather, it is one in which adults aggregate the results of surveys conducted among children, and based on these results, the children themselves engage in discussions, consider what they should do, propose actions, and implement them.
This is a form of “collective self-regulation” conducted with the intention of valuing the agency of children.
Going forward, we hope to develop and implement a system that combines collective and individual self-regulation. Specifically, we aim to introduce a self-monitoring mechanism in which data collected through digital devices is aggregated in real time, allowing each child to recognize their own position within overall trends and adjust their behavior accordingly. weniger

Parallel Methodology: Approximating Affective Futures in Recalcitrant Landscapes  |  Fri, June 13, 2025, 10 am – 12 pm CEST  |  Online Lecture
Jonathan Yainishet, M.A. is PhD Candidate at the Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology and The Ethnographic Collection, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen.

Abstract:
The Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) presents a distinctively complex research landscape, where visibility and mobility are stringently yet inconsistently regulated. This regime of access and denial complicates ethnographic fieldwork, transforming the DMZ into a site of partial, selective, and unreliable perceptibility. In this talk, I offer methodological reflections drawn from long-term research on speculative futures in the DMZ, focusing on how researchers must grapple with the pervasive problem of absence. The DMZ embodies absence in two senses: as a spatially demarcated but largely inaccessible space, and as a landscape whose envisioned futures remain speculative. A further challenge is that this lack of access is shared by both researchers and interlocutors, diverging from traditional debates on distance and co-location in ethnography. Methodological discussions acknowledge absence as a challenge. This talk builds on these by engaging explicitly with future-oriented affective practices in the DMZ—aspirations that have not materialized and are “not there (yet).” In response to these conceptual challenges, I introduce a set of geometric metaphors—the asymptote and the parallel—to conceptualize how absence and aspiration are negotiated within the DMZ. This approach offers a methodological framework for approximating and engaging with affective futures in recalcitrant research landscapes such as the DMZ.
