But scholarly practices in the humanities are changing as older forms of communal inquiry are combined with modern research methods enabled by the Internet, accessible computing, data availability, and new media. \u003ci\u003eHermeneutica\u003c\/i\u003e introduces text analysis using computer-assisted interpretive practices. It offers theoretical chapters about text analysis, presents a set of analytical tools (called Voyant) that instantiate the theory, and provides example essays that illustrate the use of these tools. Voyant allows users to integrate interpretation into texts by creating hermeneutica--small embeddable \"toys\" that can be woven into essays published online or into such online writing environments as blogs or wikis. The book's companion website, Hermeneuti.ca, offers the example essays with both text and embedded interactive panels. The panels show results and allow readers to experiment with the toys themselves.\u003cbr\u003eThe use of these analytical tools results in a hybrid essay: an interpretive work embedded with hermeneutical toys that can be explored for technique. The hermeneutica draw on and develop such common interactive analytics as word clouds and complex data journalism interactives. Embedded in scholarly texts, they create a more engaging argument. Moving between tool and text becomes another thread in a dynamic dialogue.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeoffrey Rockwell is Professor of Philosophy and Humanities Computing and Director of the Kule Institute for Advanced Study at the University of Alberta. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStéfan Sinclair is Associate Professor of Digital Humanities at McGill University and coauthor of \u003ci\u003eVisual Interface Design for Digital Cultural Heritage\u003c\/i\u003e.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.54 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 07, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47212686737657,"sku":"9780262545891","price":63.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/SXBTVmdLc2gxejdUajBWeDZTUEw0QT09.webp?v=1768095030","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/hermeneutica-computer-assisted-interpretation-in-the-humanities-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
