'Social Reading' Projects

"It was my sabbatical year, and what you do during a sabbatical year is you sit down and write a book," said Mr. Duncombe, an associate professor of media and culture at New York University. "I had a book planned, and I walked into a bookstore and thought, 'I can't do that.'" Instead of writing a conventional monograph, he decided to experiment, aiming to move toward "what a book might look like in the future, when it's not just something bound between two covers, and words on a page. " The result of his sabbatical labors has just gone live. "We live in a world where people can talk back to their books," Mr.

More's classic work, published in Latin in 1516, explores what a perfect society might look like. "I read a completely different book than I remembered," he said. That got him thinking about what More was really trying to do. More's text seemed like a good place to start reimagining. Mr. Mr. iTunes U Course Manager.

For this year’s Bloomsday, Rhonda Armstrong, Regina Higgins, Steven Hoelscher, Pamela Andrews and I collaborated digitally to extend the Ulysses dataset and visualization work begun at THATCamp Prime 2012 (aka Bloomsday 2012).

“Suppose there’s some connection”: Visualizing Character Interactions in Ulysses for Bloomsday 2013

Rhonda, Regina, Steven, and Pamela each thoroughly scoured ten pages of the book to add to our knowledge about the network of character relationships in the novel, and I extended last year’s “Wandering Rocks” visualization (off of the data created by Chad Rutkowski and me in 2012), adding in weights showing the “depth” of each character interaction. A huge thank-you to Rhonda, Regina, Steven, and Pamela for their time and effort expanding the public dataset of Ulysses character interactions! So! Related: You can check out last year’s Bloomsday visualization work, or read the tutorials (1, 2) for making basic Gephi (infoviz software) visualizations that I created as part of my ACH Microgrant work.
