An analysis of visual epistemology in the digital humanities, with
attention to the need for interpretive digital tools within
humanities contexts.In the several decades since humanists have
taken up computational tools, they have borrowed many techniques
from other fields, including visualization methods to create
charts, graphs, diagrams, maps, and other graphic displays of
information. But are these visualizations actually adequate for the
interpretive approach that distinguishes much of the work in the
humanities? Information visualization, as practiced today, lacks
the interpretive frameworks required for humanities-oriented
methodologies. In this book, Johanna Drucker continues her
interrogation of visual epistemology in the digital humanities,
reorienting the creation of digital tools within humanities
contexts. Drucker examines various theoretical understandings of
visual images and their relation to knowledge and how the specifics
of the graphical are to be engaged directly as a primary means of
knowledge production for digital humanities. She draws on work from
aesthetics, critical theory, and formal study of graphical systems,
addressing them within the specific framework of computational and
digital activity as they apply to digital humanities. Finally, she
presents a series of standard problems in visualization for the
humanities (including time/temporality, space/spatial relations,
and data analysis), posing the investigation in terms of innovative
graphical systems informed by probabilistic critical hermeneutics.
She concludes with a final brief sketch of discovery tools as an
additional interface into which modeling can be worked.
