Lost in the labyrinth of Romans that populate Cicero’s correspondence? Come see his social networks visualized (and how to do it) by @CaitlinAMarley at #ancmakers tomorrow Sat 1/5 1:50pm Grand Ballroom 8 ANALYZING CICERONIAN NETWORKS WITH GEPHI https://t.co/hbQPG4l2XE #aiascs
Over on the SCS blog, Prof. Caitlin Marley discusses her new digital project mapping Cicero's letters through the use of network analysis and other digital tools. What does Cicero's friend network say about him? How emotional did he get... https://t.co/Dn2K6QGsFr
In the post, I shout out to Benjamin Hicks of Princeton, who is mapping Pliny's letters, Dr. @CaitlinAMarley who mapped Cicero's epistolary relationships as part of her dissertation: "Sentiments, Networks, Literary Biography: Towards a Mesoanalysis of Cicero’s Corpus" & others.
Another post up on ergaleia! Here, @rympasco introduces his plan to map social life in the late Republic through Cicero's letters, as part of an ongoing efforts to learn Gephi/social network analysis. So begins an ongoing series. Hope you follow along! https://t.co/DFIdYVpRm6
@TinkeringHuman @SarahEBond @IowaClassics@BabelAlexandria Thank you! And thank you for teaching me how to use gephi! I couldn't have done this without that
@SarahEBond @IowaClassics@BabelAlexandria Thank you so much for being a part of my committee and giving me such great feedback! You gave me a lot to think about and consider.
It really means a lot to me!
@rympasco @SarahEBond Thanks for the introduction, Sarah! Yes, I've mined the Ad Fam for data on correspondence and mentions. There's a lot of interactions in the letters to explore. It's interesting seeing them displayed in Gephi!
My Latin students just did a unit on Latin authors. I gave them Conte to read and a few students fell so in love with that book that they wanted to buy it.
It's not the reaction that I'm used to hearing about Conte, but at least they know a good resource when they see one!
@spiderbubbles I like this idea! I'm gonna steal it!
It's basically the annotation we've been doing this semester BUT learning another skill at the same time
Humanities studies that focus on numbers and quantifying is still the humanities. The approach might be different but the subject matter is still the same.
