Text Analysis
19
Text Analysis Large-scale computational analysis of digital corpora
Uses Conduct “distant readings” and look for linguistic/thematic patterns Show relationships across texts in a robust manner Structurally compare texts and corpora Skills Work with large quantities of text Quickly find patterns for analysis
20
Text Analysis Tools Voyant Tools: Web-based text mining tool with integrated visualizations Antconc: Desktop text mining tool MALLET: Topic modelling tool, the standard for all others Sketch Engine: Online text mining tool with preassembled corpora R Studio: Development environment for R, text mining DataBasic: Web-based tool for comparing documents and basic text analysis
22
Mapping
23
Mapping Engage in fictional and real maps to explore role of time and space Uses Overlay historical maps on contemporary ones Trace phenomena across space (and time) Uncover the physical, historical, and visual networks underlying a text Create a map based on a literary text Skills Recognize spatial and geographical patterns Convey complex ideas in the visual format of an interactive map
24
Mapping Tools Google My Maps: Plot things on simple maps
ArcGIS Online: Create simple and complex maps, import GIS data Palladio: Analyze relationships/networks across time and geography Knightlab StoryMapJS and TimeMapper: Tell stories about a map with interactive timelines using Google Sheets Esri StoryMaps: Incorporate GIS data and multimedia for long-form interactive storytelling History Pin: Building collections of pins for a particular place, annotated with text and media
26
Digital Storytelling
27
Digital Storytelling Tell a unique story using archival materials, images, or present knowledge and evidence on a topic in interactive forms. Uses Curate and present digital archives and exhibits Create digital editions Tell non-linear stories Skills Build public scholarship skills Build information organization and content management skills Foster creativity
28
Storytelling Tools Omeka: Build exhibits from archival materials, tell stories about collections of documents, create database of sources Scalar: Write long-form, born-digital scholarship; assemble multimedia and juxtapose them with text, using minimal technical expertise Twine: Tell interactive, nonlinear stories, e.g. choose your own adventure (ex.) Wikipedia: Write evidence-based scholarship for the world Nodegoat: Create, visualize, and share network data with spatial and chronological contexts
