    Class 4 (January 28) — Datamining, Pattern Recognition, Visualization (with an addendum on Social Computing)

    1. Path 1 to Thinking About Visualization:

        Close Reading ➞ Text Analysis (Data Mining) ➞ Pattern Recognition ➞ Visualization

     

     

    2. Path 2 to Thinking About Visualization:

        Information Visualization + Visualization Art ➞ Information Aesthetics

     

     

    3. Path 3 to Thinking About Visualization:

        ➞ Text

     

    • from Jerome J. McGann, "Rethinking Textuality"  (abbreviated list):
      • 1.0. That what we call "a text" should be understood as a document composed of both semantical and graphical signifying parts.
      • 2.0. That there is no such thing as an unmarked text, and the markup systems laid upon documents to facilitate computerized analyses are marking orders laid upon already marked up material. 
      • 3.1. That text documents, while coded bibliographically and semantically, are all marked graphically.
      • 3.4. That distinctions may be marked for attention or for inattention. (So the interpretive procedure, now prevalent, that does not "reveal the codes" of its bibliographical rationale has marked them for inattention.)
