Gartensaal, Goethestraße 31, 45128 Essen
The Japanese Visual Media Graph (JVMG) project is creating a knowledge graph on popular Japanese visual media such as anime, manga and video games to enable large-scale quantitative research on these domains. The knowledge graph integrates data from online databases compiled by enthusiast and fan communities – and further resources – in cooperation with multiple communities and respecting the terms of use and licenses set out by each source database.
In the present workshop Zoltan Kacsuk will first introduce the JVMG project in general, and showcase research that it has enabled in relation to anime, manga and Japanese video games. Then, Saskia Dreßler will discuss the results of her master’s thesis research on the heteronormative narrative elements in anime and manga based German fanfiction that focus on gay and lesbian relationships. Finally, Mathieu Mallard will outline some of the key questions from his doctoral work on the establishing of artistic authority during the structuration of the Japanese animation industry in the 1950s-1970s, and explain how his research can benefit from a dialogue with the work being undertaken in the JVMG project.
DISCUSSANTS
Saskia Dreßler, JVMG project member at University Library of Tübingen
Zoltan Kacsuk, JVMG project member at Stuttgart Media University
Mathieu Mallard, Doctoral student at Université de Lorraine, and visiting researcher at the JVMG project at Stuttgart Media University

About the Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities (KWI):
The Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities (KWI) Essen, Germany, is an interdisciplinary research centre following the tradition of international Institutes for Advanced Study. In its role as an inter-university institution connecting the Ruhr-University Bochum, the Technological University Dortmund and the University of Duisburg-Essen, the institute works together with researchers and scientists from its neighbouring universities as well as other partners from the federal state NRW and places in- and outside of Germany. Within the Ruhr area, the KWI is a place to share and discuss the questions and results of ambitious research with interested parties from the city and the greater region. Currently, work at the KWI focusses on the following areas: “cultural studies of science and science policy making”, “sociology of literature and culture”, “science communication”, “visual literacy” and a “teaching lab”. Projects in the established research field “culture of communication”, as well as individual projects, will be continued.
