	Abstract: "We propose that network visualization is a digital humanities method that can “explore” and “negotiate” the space between text and performance in the study of Shakespeare. The networks developed in this project use the language of Shakespearean plays to trace the relationships between characters in space, in effect, translating the literary text into a web of spatial relations, which are difficult to perceive solely in the act of reading. Our analysis presents a particular method of network visualization, and also demonstrates how this technique can be used as a critical tool to revise our understanding of social disorder in Shakespearean tragedy. We therefore propose a dual scope for this paper. At a methodological level, we argue that network visualization is a way to infer staging and the “blocking” of theatrical space from the language of the playtext. In our case study, we show how this technique can be used as a form of Shakespearean literary criticism deploying this method to reframe the larger question of social disorder in his tragedies. The network visualizations used in this analysis serve as a stable and reproducible way, beyond any single performance, to delineate how the language of Shakespeare’s plays structures the relationships of characters in space. This study represents the beginning of a digital method that aims to bridge text and performance in the study of Shakespeare by reading the dramatic text for the linguistic codes that organize the space of the stage."

			=== John R. Ladd, "Imaginative Networks: Tracing Connections Among Early Modern Book Dedications" (2021) ===

			"In this essay, I take advantage of the additional names that
			authors added to their dedications to create an expanded network of print relationships
			that includes contemporary social bonds alongside historical—and
			even fictional—associations. These networks show that (1) naming in dedicatory
			practice is driven as much by untimely references to political and religious
			figures as by contemporary authors and patrons, and (2) these references,
			citations, and addresses through naming are responsive to political and social
			change, e.g. when the midseventeenthcentury
			political crises arrive, dedicatory
			naming shifts markedly toward untimely references." (65)

			"The imaginative network of a text
			involves all of these figures together, and by considering them in a single network,
			I use network metrics—density, degree, strength, betweenness—to better
			understand the interlocking motivations that underlie text creation, including
			patronage, social and cultural aspiration, anxieties of influence, and social relationships." (66-7)

			"early modern dedicatory
			practice is not mainly organized around presentday
			figures, as it is usually
			described. Instead the networks are tied together by a range of figures from the
			recent and distant past. And though these imaginative networks are not focused
			on contemporary figures, they are nonetheless responsive to contemporary politics.
			Shifts in network structure and centrality measures from the 1630s through
			the 1660s account for changes in dedicatory practice that arise from the political
			crises of that period: the replacement of the monarchy with a republic followed
			by the Protectorate, the exile of large portions of the English nobility, sudden
			shifts in censorship laws and printing regulations, and everchanging
			political
			and religious discourses. Rather than flattening the effects of political and social
			change on dedicatory practice, the untimeliness of naming in dedicatory
			networks alerts us to key moments of discursive shift amid political change." (67)

			dedication as space where imaginative relationships with people real and fictional are staged

			greater interest in paratexts recently

			"Paratexts occupy a liminal position between data and metadata. As part of
			the primary source, they can be considered data itself, but for the ways they
			comment on and relate to the main text, they are also a form of metadata." (69)

			"Because of the dedication’s unique role in justifying the work’s existence within
			a social sphere, the names mentioned within it are particularly relevant to our
			understanding of the social networks of print culture, as well as an especially
			good part of the text in which to examine the political effects that I take up in
			this essay." (70)

			"Names from the distant past appear with more regularity across the corpus than
			contemporary figures almost as a rule. I see this as an important corrective to
			the practice of using dedications to tell us only about authorpatron
			relations." (90)

			"From the evidence above we can conclude that dedicatory networks are not
			bound by the relationships of the present day. On the contrary, one of the clearest
			features of these networks is the high centrality of names from the distant
			past. However it would be incorrect to extend that conclusion to say that the
			historical context of a dedication doesn’t matter. Even though dedicators are
			invoking names from a wide swathe of history, they are doing so in response
			to the economic, social, and political concerns at the moment of publication." (91)
