  • An
  • introduction
  • to
  • text
  • analysis
  • using
  • computer-assisted
  • interpretive
  • practices,
  • accompanied
  • by
  • example
  • essays
  • that
  • illustrate
  • the
  • use
  • of
  • these
  • computational
  • tools.The
  • image
  • of
  • the
  • scholar
  • as
  • a
  • solitary
  • thinker
  • dates
  • back
  • at
  • least
  • to
  • Descartes'
  • Discourse
  • on
  • Method.
  • 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.
  • Hermeneutica
  • 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.The
  • 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.
