Data Visualization in Enlightenment Literature and Culture

Editat de Ileana Baird
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 mar 2022
Data Visualization in Enlightenment Literature and Culture explores the new interpretive possibilities offered by using data visualization in eighteenth-century studies. Such visualizations include tabulations, charts, k-means clustering, topic modeling, network graphs, data mapping, and/or other illustrations of patterns of social or intellectual exchange. The contributions to this collection present groundbreaking research of texts and/or cultural trends emerging from data mined from existing databases and other aggregates of sources. Describing both small and large digital projects by scholars in visual arts, history, musicology, and literary studies, this collection addresses the benefits and challenges of employing digital tools, as well as their potential use in the classroom.

Recenzii

“Data Visualization in Enlightenment Literature and Culture is a fine volume that captures many of the modes of DH research underway in the eighteenth century. The volume benefits from copious images in both black and white and color to illustrate the visualizations described in the essays.” (Mark Vareschi, Eighteenth-Century Studies, Vol. 56 (4), 2023)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Placed at the intersection of the digital humanities and Enlightenment studies, this collection is an interdisciplinary effort that showcases the significant digital work done in the field of eighteenth-century studies and its potential to transform our disciplinary practices. By addressing essential period-related themes—from issues of canonicity, intellectual history, and book trade practices to novel ways of exploring canonical authors and texts, gender roles, and public sphere dynamics—this collection also makes a broader argument about the necessity of expanding the very notion of “Enlightenment” not only spatially but also conceptually, by revisiting its very tenets in light of new data. The essays included here demonstrate that, by translating these new findings in suggestive visualizations, we can unveil unforeseen patterns, trends, connections, or networks of influence that could potentially revise existing master narratives about the period and the ideological structures at the core of the Enlightenment.
