Analyse des réseaux et HN
Phenomena in the world of humanistic experience and also in the varied and complex discourse fields of aesthetic documents do not lend themselves to representation within bounded, carefully delimited parameters. The metrics used to weight or characterize humanities phenomena are more complex than single value systems can represent, so a network diagram that shows “relations” among various nodes in a cultural system, among documents, authors, concepts, and so on, that is grounded in a single metric value for the edge‐node relations, is painfully reductive. Relationships, whether among human beings or humanistic concepts, are dynamic, fluid, flexible, and changeable.
