  • Apoyo a la crítica literaria mediante la visualización de datos: cuatro guías de diseño para facilitar la colaboración interdisciplinar
    Publication . Elli, Tommaso
    The application of data visualization in the context of literary criticism opened promising research directions but may raise frictions due to the involvement of di昀昀erent traditions and approaches. Visualizations are commonly designed to promote a “view from nowhere” and appear objective, transparent, and factual. Literary criticism, instead, valorizes individual viewpoints and interpretations. The article presents an inquiry based on Action Research, Participant Observation, and Structured Interviews to explore and mitigate divergencies between core data visualization methodologies and literary criticism. After describing the identi昀椀ed divergencies, the article proposes four guidelines to orient designers’ work in creating visualizations in support of literary inquiries. The proposed guidelines are (1) embed situatedness, (2) ne-gotiate elusive concepts, (3) use overview as a companion, and (4) support thinking with visual manipulation.

  • Designing network visuaizations for genetic literary criticism
    Publication . Elli, Tommaso; Benedetti, Andrea; Pallacci, Valentina; Spadini, Elena; Mauri, Michele
    We present a research project aimed at de-signing a new visual model for the analysis and presentation of data of genetic criticism, an approach to the study of literature that inquires about the genesis of literary works. The project was carried out in collaboration between researchers in information design and literary scholars, in the context of the project «Gustave Roud.Œuvres completes». The introduced visual model builds on top of network graphs and introduces speci昀椀c visual features aimed at supporting analy-sis of genetic criticism. The design process involved three moments: (1) the gathering of information for the de昀椀nition of design requirements; (2) the phase of the prototyping of the visual model; (3) the production and evaluation of the 昀椀nal network visualizations. The presented process is rich in insights into the collaboration between design researchers and scholars involved in digital humanities
