Digital Human Sciences Digital Human Sciences Digital Human Sciences The ongoing digitization of culture and society and the ongoing production of new digital objects in culture and society require new ways of investigation, new theoretical avenues, and new multidisciplinary frameworks. In order to meet these requirements, this collection of eleven studies digs into questions concerning, for example: the epistemology of data produced and shared on social media platforms; the need of new legal concepts that regulate the Digital increasing use of artificial intelligence in society; and the need of combinatory methods to research Human new media objects such as podcasts, web art, and Petersson Sonya by Edited online journals in relation to their historical, social, institutional, and political effects and contexts. Sciences The studies in this book introduce the new research New Objects – field “digital human sciences,” which include the New Approaches humanities, the social sciences, and law. From their different disciplinary outlooks, the authors share the aim of discussing and developing methods and approaches for investigating digital society, digital culture, and digital media objects.

Stockholm Studies in Culture and Aesthetics Stockholm Studies in Culture and Aesthetics (SiCA) (ISSN 2002-3227) is a peer-reviewed series of monographs and edited volumes published by Stockholm University Press. SiCA strives to provide a broad forum for research on culture and aesthet- ics, including the disciplines of Art History, Heritage Studies, Curating Art, History of Ideas, Literary Studies, Musicology, and Performance and Dance Studies. In terms of subjects and methods, the orientation is wide: crit- ical theory, cultural studies and historiography, modernism and modernity, materiality and mediality, performativity and visual culture, children’s literature and children’s theatre, queer and gen- der studies. It is the ambition of SiCA to place equally high demands on the academic quality of the manuscripts it accepts as those applied by refereed international journals and academic publishers of a similar orientation. SiCA accepts manuscripts in English, Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian.

They include ratios and proportions (static and dynamic, geometric, arithmetic and harmonic progressions) expressing symmetry and self-similarity principles in spatial-metric terms, but also principles of nonlinearity and complexity by symmetry-breakings within non-metric systems. The first part explains geometric and numeric relational figures/sets as taken for “principles of beauty and primary aesthetic quality of all things” in classical philosophy, science, and architecture. These progressions are guided by certain rules or their combinations (codes and algorithms) based on principles of regularity, usually directly spatially reflected. Conversely, configurations representing the main subject of the following sections, could be spatially independent, transformable, and unpredictable, escaping regular extensive definitions. Their forms are presented through transitions from scalable to no-scale conditions showing initial symmetry breakings and abstractions, through complex forms of dynamic modulations and variations of matter, ending with

There are certain areas that have a vast literature, such as spatial and temporal structures, whereas other areas are scarcely studied, as is the case of spatio-temporal and textual structures. I list below a selection of seminal texts, and I encourage you to explore these and other resources during the course of this semester. * Indicates books available at NU library Text in bold indicates the suggested weekly readings RECOMMENDED TEXTS ON THE HISTORY OF VISUALIZATION Akerman, James R (2006): Cartographies of travel and navigation.

  • What Is Visualization? Published in Visual Studies Journal (Taylor & Francis, 2011)
    1/26 Lev Manovich www.softwarestudies.com What is Visualization? Published in Visual Studies journal (Taylor & Francis, 2011). Abstract The article proposes that the practice of information visualisation (infovis) from its beginnings in the second part of the eighteenth century until today relied on two key principles. The first principle is reduction. Infovis uses graphical primitives such as points, strait lines, curves and simple geometric shapes to stand in for objects and relations between them. The second principle is the use of spatial variables (position, size, shape and, more recently, movement) to represent key differences in the data and reveal patterns and relations. Following this analysis, I discuss a more recent visualisation method which we can call ‘media visualisation’: creating new visual representations from the actual visual media objects (images, video) or their parts. The article analyses the well‐known examples of artistic visualisations that use this method: Listening Post (Ben Rubin and Mark Hansen, 2001), Cinema Redux (Brendan Dawes, 2004), and Preservation of Selected Traces (Ben Fry, 2009). I further suggest that media visualization method is particularly relevant for humanities, media studies and cultural institutions. Using the actual visual artefacts in visualisation as opposed to representing them by graphical primitives helps the researcher to understand meaning and/or cause behind the patterns she may observe, as well as discover additional patterns. To illustrate this idea, I present the examples of projects created in our lab at UCSD (Software Studies Initiative, softwarestudies.com). Founded in 2007, the lab develops on techniques and software to allow interactive exploration of large sets of visual cultural data using media visualisation approach and supervisualisation systems such as 287 megapixel HIPerSpace.
