Cognitively Plausible Information Visualization
Exploring Geovisualization J. Dykes, A.M. MacEachren, M.-J. Kraak (Editors) q 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. Chapter 35 Cognitively Plausible Information Visualization Sara Irina Fabrikant, Department of Geography, University of California Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA 93106, USA Andre´ Skupin, Department of Geography, University of New Orleans, New Orleans, LA 70148, USA Keywords: Information Visualization, spatialization, Cartography, spatial cognition, human–computer interaction Abstract Information Visualization is concerned with the art and technology of designing and implementing highly interactive, computer supported tools for knowledge discovery in large non-spatial databases. Information Visualization displays, also known as information spaces or graphic spatializations, differ from ordinary data visualization and geovisualization in that they may be explored as if they represented spatial information. Information spaces are very often based on spatial metaphors such as location, distance, region, scale, etc., thus potentially affording spatial analysis techniques and geovisualization approaches for data exploration and knowledge discovery. Two major concerns in spatialization can be identified from a GIScience/ geovisualization perspective: the use of space as a data generalization strategy, and the use of spatial representations or maps to depict these data abstractions. A range of theoretical and technical research questions needs to be addressed to assure the construction of cognitively adequate spatializations. In the first part of this chapter we propose a framework for the construction of cognitively plausible semantic information spaces. This theoretical scaffold is based on geographic information theory and includes principles of ontological modeling such as semantic generalization (spatial primitives), geometric generalization (visual variables), association (source–target domain mapping through spatial metaphors), and aggregation (hierarchical organization). -

Anime Fan Culture As Narrative in North American Media
The Fan-Oriented Work: Anime Fan Culture as Narrative in North American Media Victoria Berndt A Thesis in The Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts (Film Studies) at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada January 2021 ©Victoria Berndt, 2021 CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY School of Graduate Studies This is to certify that this thesis prepared By: Victoria Berndt Entitled: The Fan-Oriented Work: Anime Fan Culture as Narrative in North American Media and submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts (Film Studies) complies with the regulations of the University and meets the accepted standards with respect to originality and quality. Signed by the final Examining Committee: Chair Examiner Dr. Sandra Annett Examiner Dr. Joshua Neves Supervisor Dr. Marc Steinberg Approved by: Dr. Marc Steinberg, Graduate Program Director 2021 Annie Gérin, Dean of Faculty iii ABSTRACT The Fan-Oriented Work: Anime Fan Culture as Narrative in North American Media Victoria Berndt Japanese animation, popularly referred to as ‘anime’, has recently experienced a shift in North American consumer contexts from its initial scarcity in overseas markets to its overwhelming presence online and in physical spaces. With streaming services such as Crunchyroll (an anime-specific streaming service) and Netflix’s selection of anime increasing its availability outside of Japan over the past decade, North American viewers are now able to interact with anime through heavily connected digital landscapes (Annett 6). As a result of this globalized viewership, an emergent subgenre of anime has formed, which I term “anime fan- oriented works.” In such works, North American anime fans become the target audience of North American-created material catering to anime fan cultures and experiences. -
