Literature Review Support in Anthropology（Digital Anthropology ）

I am currently working on a dissertation exploring the intersection of AI, 2.5D avatars, and emotional attachments in contemporary Japanese society. My research examines the evolving phenomenon of nijikon (emotional attachment to 2D and 2.5D avatars) and how AI integration is redefining intimacy, kinship, and agency.

I am looking for someone with expertise in anthropology, Japanese culture, or technology studies to help me complete the literature review section (approximately 4000 words). The review will cover relevant theories and key research in areas such as:

Emotional attachment to digital characters

Kinship and surrogate kinship in contemporary societies, especially in Japan

The concept of agency, particularly in relation to non-human entities like AI-powered avatars

Cultural and ethical implications of human-avatar interactions

The ideal candidate will have a strong academic background and the ability to synthesize complex ideas into a cohesive review, citing contemporary and relevant sources. Experience with anthropological theories, Japanese cultural studies, or technology and society research would be highly beneficial.

If you are interested, please reach out with your qualifications and a brief outline of your approach to literature reviews. The aim is to integrate key concepts and theories, helping to contextualize the research and theoretical framework of the dissertation.

Looking forward to collaborating!
