- Abstract:
- Visualization tools can allow academics to produce their own diagrams without necessarily hiring a designer. I will walk through some examples of diagrams produced in Palladio, a digital humanities package developed in the Humanities + Design Lab at Stanford University. Palladio lends itself to qualitative studies because the visualizations that it produces (maps, network diagrams, and tables) are familiar to most humanists, and because it allows for the filtering of data through categories chosen by the user. I will show how maps can be used to compare the weight, or influence, of cities, as well as travel and communication between cities and other geographical points; then I will show how network graphs can be used in the study of networked people or things using data from the Mapping the Republic of Letters, Procope Project, the Electronic Enlightenment project, and the groupe d'Alembert.
