3. Review Method “Distant Reading” Cultural Analytics is like archaeology Image Graphs Use of X and Y space to show dimensions E.g. Narrative Time vs. Manuscript Tradition See V5 Code Review: Using arrays to transform data structures Visualization Review
4. Method 2: Use the Array Pattern Create a new array to store the results of your “data loop” The foreach() loop where you grab rows and columns Second array will mirror the X / Y structure of the visualization we want Remember that arrays are like this: $array[X][Y][Z]; More complicated at first, but more effective and elegant Gives you greater control See v3.ph, etc.
5. Visualization Review See V4 and V5 http://studio1.shanti.virginia.edu/~rca2t/dataesthetics/03-29/v4.php http://studio1.shanti.virginia.edu/~rca2t/dataesthetics/03-29/v5.php
6. What is added by V5? Some MSs emphasize certain sequences Contrast with the first viz, which showed which episodes are emphasized Examples EP 390—416 (PECK) EP 832—901 (PECK) EP 101—116 (58G)
7. Overview Begin where we left off RUSTAM : KAY KAUS :: IMAGE : TEXT? Review story behind the “hot spot” from our visualization Read the story for patterns Explore techniques for visualizing narrative patterns
8.
9. Actually, Rustam Big in Text Too RUSTAM = 121 KAY KHUSRAW = 80 KHUSRAW PARWIZ = 57 See ManyEyes viz http://www-958.ibm.com/me/visualizations/word-cloud-of-episode-titles-from--2/comments/a7729b405b9a11e0a916000255111976
10. Interesting that the central figure in a Book of Kings is not a King Let’s drill down into the text to find out more
11. The March into Mazinderan http://studio1.shanti.virginia.edu/~rca2t/dataesthetics/03-31/shah-march.html
12. Discuss text as visualization Zooming in from the larger visualization
17. Structure? Rustem = PowerPuff Girls Kai Kaus = Mayor Zal = Father (kind of) King of M = Mojo Jojo White Deev = One of MJ's minions Lions, etc. = Fuzzy Lumpkins?
18. Structure Frodo = Dorothy Ring = Slippers Sam = Tin Man, etc. Gandalf = Good Witch Sauron = Bad Witch Gollum = Toto -> mediator
20. Structuralist “Prosopography” Recurring patterns and structures imply cultural models Political Organization KING / COUNCILLOR (PRIEST) / WARRIOR Nature of Power Royal Power is fragile and dependent Now, How to Describe and Represent?
21. Other Patterns Characteristic events (event types) and sequences E.g. drinking wine Implied social networks Next week, we will look at these patterns and explore tools to visualize them
