We live in a networked world. Online social networking platforms
and the World Wide Web have changed how society thinks about
connectivity. Because of the technological nature of such networks,
their study has predominantly taken place within the domains of
computer science and related scientific fields. But arts and
humanities scholars are increasingly using the same kinds of visual
and quantitative analysis to shed light on aspects of culture and
society hitherto concealed. This Element contends that networks are
a category of study that cuts across traditional academic barriers,
uniting diverse disciplines through a shared understanding of
complexity in our world. Moreover, we are at a moment in time when
it is crucial that arts and humanities scholars join the critique
of how large-scale network data and advanced network analysis are
being harnessed for the purposes of power, surveillance, and
commercial gain. This title is also available as Open Access on
Cambridge Core.
