The Dangerous Art of Text Mining celebrates the bold new research
now possible because of text mining: the art of counting words over
time. However, this book also presents a warning: without help from
the humanities, data science can distort the past and lead to
perilous errors. The book opens with a rogue's gallery of errors,
then tours the ground-breaking analyses that have resulted from
collaborations between humanists and data scientists. Jo Guldi
explores how text mining can give a glimpse of the changing history
of the past - for example, how quickly Americans forgot the history
of slavery. Textual data can even prove who was responsible in
Congress for silencing environmentalism over recent decades. The
book ends with an impassioned vision of what text mining in defence
of democracy would look like, and why humanists need to be
involved.
